MRV is a joint venture owned by Eni, ExxonMobil and CNPC.
For Technip Energies, the latest contract builds on an earlier award for preliminary work and confirms the continued progress of the company’s involvement in the project.
The Coral Norte FLNG project follows the replica concept, utilising experience gained from the Coral Sul FLNG facility, which began operations in 2022.
Both projects draw from similar gas compositions and field locations. The hull launch for Coral Norte took place on 16 January 2026 in Geoje, South Korea.

By GlobalDataThe intention is to duplicate and complement Coral Sul’s role by converting gas from Mozambique’s offshore deposits into LNG for global export.
Coral Norte aims to build on proven design methods, incorporating previous operational lessons to improve efficiency and reliability.
Mozambique expects the operationalisation of Coral Norte to support its standing as an energy producer and help supply global energy markets through LNG exports.
Technip Energies project delivery and services president Loïc Chapuis said: “Coral Norte is a clear recognition of Technip Energies’ engineering and project delivery expertise and our ability to replicate proven solutions with discipline and certainty.
“Building on the success of Coral Sul, and together with JGC and Samsung Heavy Industries, this award further strengthens our long-standing partnership with Eni and their Area 4 partners.
“It also underscores our leadership in delivering innovative and complex LNG solutions to support long-term energy supply and security in Mozambique and globally.”
In August 2025, Technip Energies secured an engineering, procurement and construction contract to develop Commonwealth LNG’s 9.5mtpa facility in Cameron Parish, Louisiana, US.
