TechnipFMC has announced its winning of an EPCI contract from ENI for the Coral Norte gas development in the Area 4 concession in the Rovuma Basin offshore Mozambique.
The technology provider will manufacture and install flexible flowlines and risers, as well as install subsea manifolds and umbilicals for the Coral Norte floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) vessel, the second such project offshore Mozambique, in water depths of approximately 2,000 metres.
The value of the contract is between $250Million and $500Mllion, and will be tallied under Q2 2025 orders, the company indicated.
ENI took a Final Investment Decision (FID) on the Coral Norte development in October 2025, six months after the Mozambican government approved the 3.5Million tonnes per year (3.5MMTPA) project.
Production is expected to commence in 2028.
“We are excited to once again work with ENI and their consortium partners in Mozambique”, TechnipFMC says of the award. “We will leverage our experience gained from the successful delivery of Coral Sul —the world’s first FLNG project in ultradeep water—by replicating our proven playbook with an enhanced approach.”
ENI’s partners in the Coral Norte development are China’s CNPC with a 20% interest, Korea’s KOGAS with 10%, Mozambique’s national energy company ENH with 10% and ADNOC’s investment arm XRG with 10%.
