ENI Launches the Floating of the Hull of the Coral North FLNG VesselItalian major ENI has launched the Hull of the Coral North Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) vessel, a performative event, in line with the project’s schedule. Coral North will be the second next-generation floating LNG facility to be located in the Rovuma basin, offshore Cabo Delgado, northern Mozambique, and will produce gas from the northern part of the Coral field on the Area 4 Licence in deepwater. With a liquefaction production capacity of 3.6Million tonnes per year (MMTPA), Coral North will double Mozambique’s total LNG production to 7 MMTPA. ENI first discovered natural gas in Mozambique’s vast deepwater Rovuma Basin in 2011, five years after it showed up in the country. Coral South, the first gas production project from the Basin, has already successfully delivered over 135 LNG cargoes to the market.
