"It provides tremendous opportunities to grow our operations in the region."

"As the only subsea production systems supplier in-country and in East Africa, it provides tremendous opportunities to grow our operations in the region and it further underlines our commitment to drive productivity and cost-efficiency improvements for global projects by building long-term relationships with industry players in place of more outdated transactional approaches." 

GE Oil & Gas president and CEO of Sub-Saharan Africa Ado Oseragbaje said: “With the award of this project in Mozambique following the recent OCTP Project in Ghana, with first oil delivered ahead of schedule and in record time-to-market, GE reaffirms its subsea leadership in Africa, operating in all the major oil basins and with all international and national oil companies.

“GE is committed to building capacity in Africa and with the Mozambique project, like we have already demonstrated in Nigeria, Angola and Ghana, we will continue to invest in the years to come, developing a local highly skilled and motivated workforce.”

The Coral South FLNG project will be installed with an FLNG facility having a capacity of around 3.4Mtpa, and fed by six subsea wells with expected production of up to five trillion cubic feet of gas after an anticipated start-up in mid-2022.
