Exxon Mobil Corporation ( XOM - Free Report ) along with partners has submitted development plan for the first phase of the Rovuma LNG project to the government of Mozambique. The Rovuma LNG project will yield, liquefy and sell natural gas from the Mamba fields located in the Area 4 block offshore Mozambique. The plan outlines the design and construction of two proposed liquefied natural gas trains which will each produce 7.6 million tons of LNG per year, which will be undertaken by ExxonMobil. Eni SpA ( E - Free Report ) — on behalf of the joint venture — will manage construction and operation of upstream facilities. During the progress of the project, Mozambique Rovuma Venture will try to create more jobs locally and hire suppliers based in the country. The joint venture partners of Area 4 await a final investment decision in 2019. LNG production from the project is anticipated to begin in 2024. The partners are working on marketing activities, which is in sync with the plan approval process.
