Exxon ‘mulls Rovuma LNG FID delay’ as militants seize town near LNG site

摘要

ExxonMobil is looking to defer a final investment decision (FID) on its Rovuma LNG project in Mozambique in response to the coronavirus pandemic and crude price plunge, according to reports. Adding to headwinds is the deteriorating security environment in northern Mozambique, with Islamist insurgents on Monday seizing control of a town and military base close to the Rovuma LNG project site, the country’s police force confirmed.
