GlobalData expects that an average capital expenditure (capex) of $3bn per year will be spent on eight oil and gas fields in Mozambique between 2018 and 2020. Capital expenditure on Mozambique’s oil and gas projects will add up to $9.1bn over the three-year period to the end of 2020.

Ultra­-deepwater projects will be responsible for over 65% of upstream capex in Mozambique, or $6.2bn by 2020. Deepwater projects will account for 25% of upstream capex with $2.3bn by 2020, while onshore projects will require $600m in capex over the period.

GlobalData expects that Eni and Exxon Mobil will spend the most in Mozambique, each investing $1.4bn into the country’s upstream projects by 2020. China National Petroleum Corporation will follow with $1.1bn investment into its Mozambique projects between 2018 and 2020.
