MZ-Southern Africa Regional Gas Project

The objective of the Southern Africa Regional Gas Project between Mozambique and South Africa is to initiate the development and export of Mozambique's substantial natural gas resources in an environmentally sustainable manner, thereby contributing towards economic growth and poverty reduction. The Project consists of two distinct but integrated components. The Upstream Component concerns gas fields development in Mozambique's Inhambane Province. It will develop the gas fields and the associated processing facilities, making use of the five previously drilled appraisal wells and develop the Temane gas reservoir first as it has higher pressure than the Pande reservoir. The Central Processing Facility (CPF), part of the upstream component, will be constructed at Temane, and consists of gathering networks linking the wells, drying, compression, and condensate removal facilities. The Gas Pipeline Component consists of an 865-km 26-inches diameter high pressure steel pipeline between the gas fields and Sasol's petrochemical complex at Secunda in South Africa which will be buried at a minimum of one meter below the ground surface. The pipeline design includes five take-off points in Mozambique (at Ressano Garcia/Maputo, Magude, Macarratane, Chigub/ Funhalouro and Temane) to provide for possible domestic use of gas. The Project also includes associated infrastructure, such as roads, utilities, workshops, accommodation units and offices.
