TotalEnergies\u00a0CEO Patrick Pouyanne said he planned to go to Mozambique later this month to meet the country’s new president about the company’s planned\u00a0Mozambique\u00a0LNG project.<\/p>\n
“The project remains profitable, we remain committed,” Pouyanne said at an investor presentation.<\/p>\n
The Mozambique liquefied natural gas (LNG) project, estimated to be worth around $20 billion, has faced delays due to concerns over violent unrest in the region, but Pouyanne said there had recently been “progress on security”.<\/p>\n
Mozambicans will vote in presidential and legislative elections on Oct. 9 that are almost certain to extend the ruling Frelimo party’s half century in power, as it battles a long-running Islamist insurgency in one of Africa’s largest gas fields.<\/p>\n
Pouyanne added that 70% to 80% of a $14 billion financing package underpinning the project has been reconfirmed by financiers.<\/p>\n
“We are waiting on the green light on financing from three credit agencies, some are in Western countries where rules on gas have changed … as soon as that is in place we will move,” Pouyanne said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
