Mozambique LNG: TotalEnergies Entrusts Jean-Christophe Rufin with an
Independent Mission to Assess the Humanitarian Situation in Cabo Delgado
Province

 

Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and CEO of TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE)
(NYSE:TTE), visited the Cabo Delgado province of Mozambique today to review
the security and humanitarian situation. He visited the Afungi industrial
site, the resettlement village of Quitunda, the towns of Palma and Mocimboa da
Praia and met with President Filipe Nyusi to discuss the security and
humanitarian situation in Cabo Delgado province, where the Mozambique LNG
project is located.

During this visit, Patrick Pouyanné said he has entrusted Jean-Christophe
Rufin, a recognized expert in humanitarian action and human rights, with an
independent mission to assess the humanitarian situation in Cabo Delgado
province. This mission will also evaluate the actions taken by Mozambique LNG
and will propose any additional actions to be implemented, if required. The
report of this mission will be delivered at the end of February and its
conclusions will be shared with all Mozambique LNG's partners, who shall
decide whether the conditions are met for resuming project activities.

On April 26, 2021, considering the evolution of the security situation in the
north of Cabo Delgado province, Mozambique LNG had decided to withdraw all
project personnel from the Afungi site. This situation also led the Mozambique
LNG project partners to declare force majeure.

“Since 2021, the situation in Cabo Delgado province has improved
significantly, thanks in particular to the support provided by the African
countries that committed themselves to restore peace and security, said
Patrick Pouyanné, CEO of TotalEnergies. The lifting of the force majeure and
the resumption of activities at the Mozambique LNG project site require, in
particular the restoration of security in the region, the resumption of public
services and the return to normal life for the people of the region. The
mission entrusted to Jean-Christophe Rufin should enable Mozambique LNG's
partners to assess whether the current situation allows for a resumption of
activities while respecting human rights.”

Mozambique LNG is the first onshore development of a liquefied natural gas
(LNG) plant in the country. The project includes the development of the
Golfinho and Atum fields located in Offshore Area 1 and the construction of
two liquefaction trains with a total capacity of 13,1 million tons per annum
(mtpa).
