LNG

ExxonMobil Seeks to Lift Force Majeure for LNG Project in Mozambique - Exxon Mobil Corporation (Spring, Texas) is looking at lifting force majeure on a US$30 billion LNG project in Mozambique as security conditions in the country improve, CEO Darren Woods told investors on Friday during an earnings call. "Total[Energies] just lifted their force majeure, and we're looking at, and are in the process of, trying to do the same," Woods said, referring to the French energy firm that is developing a related project nearby. ExxonMobil was unable to make a final investment decision on its project, called Rovuma LNG, until TotalEnergies resumes work after it lifted a separate force majeure that first resulted from an Islamist-linked insurgent attack four years ago. ExxonMobil is affected by the TotalEnergies project because they share facilities.
