Last week, US oil company ExxonMobil announced an agreement with Chart Industries to supply IPSMR liquefaction technology for the Rovuma LNG project, in the Rovuma basin in northern Mozambique, the portal "Gas World“.

It is a technology that provides significantly better efficiency and performance than other comparable technologies, making it possible to optimize liquefaction systems in a wide range of local conditions.

The Rovuma LNG project is operated by a joint venture that includes ExxonMobil, Italy's Eni and the China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), with each company holding an equal stake.

The project is located in the Palma district of Cabo Delgado province, a region with significant natural gas reserves. With a total projected capacity of 18 million tons of liquefied natural gas (LNG) per year, Rovuma LNG aims to liquefy natural gas extracted from the Area 4 block.

On the occasion, Chart Industries CEO Jill Evanko expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, emphasizing the importance of technology for the efficiency and economic viability of Rovuma LNG. "Chart's IPSMR technology was chosen for its ability to increase reliability and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, in line with the project's sustainability goals," explained Evanko.

With the implementation of the IPSMR, the project is expected not only to expand LNG production, but also to lower the capital costs of the facilities, contributing to Mozambique's position as a strategic hub for natural gas in the region and promoting economic development in the Palma district and Cabo Delgado.
