Sasol obtains approval for Mozambique field development plan

Energy and chemicals group Sasol has obtained approval from the Mozambique Council of Ministers for its field development plan, which would see further hydrocarbon resources developed to support Southern Africa growth. To be developed in phases, the first phase of the production sharing agreement licence area development proposed an integrated oil, liquefied petroleum gas and gas project adjacent to Sasol's existing petroleum production agreement area, where natural gas from the Pande and Temane fields were produced and processed in a central processing facility, before being transported through an 865 km pipeline to gas markets in Mozambique and South Africa.
