The South African coal-to-oil firm Sasol announced on Tuesday that it had concluded a deal with the United States corporation Enron to consolidate their natural gas and pipeline rights in Mozambique, media reports said.
According to Sasol, part of the deal would see the construction of a single pipeline to transport natural gas from the Pande and Temane fields in the southern Mozambican province of Inhambane. The pipeline will service South Africa’s industrial heartland of Gauteng and outlying areas.
Sasol said the agreement, which has yet to be formally approved by the Mozambican government and which is subject to technical reviews, combines and aligns the interests of the two companies, which will result in the construction of a single pipeline from central Mozambique to Maputo and the South African markets.
