The Mozambican Petroleum Industry in South Africa 2017
NEW YORK, Dec. 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The Mozambican Petroleum Industry:
Mozambique is a net importer of refined petroleum products with the state-owned oil company, Petróleos de Moçambique SARL (Petromoc) and its subsidiary, Importadora Moçambicana de Petroleos (IMOPETRO), handling virtually all fuel imports. Petrol and diesel, kerosene, paraffin wax and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) are the petroleum products currently imported into Mozambique. According to the World Bank's 2017 Economic Update, the value of fuel imports, excluding LPG, totalled US$192m in the first quarter of 2017, up 57% compared to the same quarter the previous year.

Current Conditions:Currently the Mozambican upstream segment is involved mainly in exploration. The discovery of the Coral natural gas field offshore in the Rovuma Basin, which contains approximately 16 trillion cubic feet of gas and has reserves of an estimated 100 trillion cubic feet, has the potential to turn Mozambique into a major liquefied natural gas (LNG) producer. However, the civil war that began in 1977 two years after the end of a 20-year war for independence that freed the country from Portuguese rule resulted in the destruction of infrastructure and means of production, effectively decimating the Mozambican economy. Only once the development stage is complete and the necessary infrastructure has been constructed can LNG production start.
