Over the past decade, Mozambique has quietly emerged as one of the most promising players in the global energy landscape. With the discovery of vast natural gas reserves off its northern coast, the country is attracting serious attention from major global oil and gas players — and with it, a wave of investment, infrastructure development, and job creation.

From multinationals to regional operators, Mozambique is now on the map as a key frontier for Africa’s energy future.

🚀 The Numbers Behind the Boom

Mozambique’s offshore fields, particularly the Rovuma Basin, are home to some of the largest natural gas discoveries in the world — with estimates suggesting reserves exceeding 100 trillion cubic feet.

Key projects include:

• Coral South FLNG: Led by Eni, this project began production in 2022 and marked Mozambique’s entry into the global LNG market.

• Area 1 & Area 4 Projects: Operated by TotalEnergies and a consortium including ExxonMobil and CNPC — these developments could make Mozambique one of the top five LNG exporters globally within the next decade.

• Mozambique LNG: A multibillion-dollar project poised to bring long-term growth and revenue to the nation, despite some delays due to regional security issues.

💼 What This Means for Global Business

The boom is creating enormous demand for:

• Skilled contractors in engineering, geoscience, project management, logistics, and compliance

• Service providers in everything from accommodation and catering to telecoms and environmental management

• Workforce solutions that can operate across borders, quickly and compliantly

In short, Mozambique is not just a hotspot for energy extraction — it’s a full-fledged ecosystem of opportunity.

🌍 Navigating the Challenges: Why Compliance Is Key

With opportunity comes complexity.

Mozambique’s regulatory environment is strict and highly structured, especially in sectors tied to natural resources. To operate legally and effectively, companies must navigate:

• Labour laws governing local and foreign hires

• Work permit requirements and quotas for expatriates

• INSS (social security) obligations

• Wage regulations and employment contracts

• Local taxes and benefit schemes

Failure to comply can result in penalties, delays, and even removal from project sites — risks no global operator can afford.
