Potential customers
Sasol Petroleum Mozambique is the operator of the PSA. It covers three fields: Inhassoro, Pande and Temane. Work consists of growth wells and a processing facility. The Instituto Nacional de Petróleo (INP) has reported the PSA discoveries have fuel in place volumes of around 2.5-3 trillion cubic feet, with recoverable volumes of 1-1.5 tcf. Sasol has additionally discovered 30-40 million barrels of liquids.
The Temane energy plant will supply power to Electricidade de Moçambique (EDM) beneath a 25-year contract. Sasol and Globeleq closed the financing for the challenge in December 2021. EDM has been in discussions with a number of potential prospects. These include Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority (ZESA). EDM has raised the potential for increasing energy exports to Zimbabwe from January 2025, when CTT begins up. The Mozambique firm has also mentioned supplies from CTT to Eswatini and South Africa’s Eskom.
