French engineering and technology company Technip Energies has been awarded a significant contract for preliminary activities on a Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) unit in Africa. The contract, valued between €250 million and €500 million, is expected to be effective until September 30, 2025, and will be recorded in the Project Delivery segment's backlog in Q3 2025. This award marks Technip Energies' fourth FLNG project worldwide, with a total capacity of 8.2 million tons per annum.

The contract is part of Technip Energies' ongoing efforts to expand its presence in Africa's energy sector. The company is set to advance the development of a FLNG vessel for the $7.2 billion Eni-led Coral Norte project in Mozambique, following an April 2025 approval by the Mozambican government. The FLNG unit, with a capacity to produce 3.55 million metric tons of LNG per annum, is anticipated to achieve first production by the second half of 2028 [1].

In addition to the Coral Norte project, Technip Energies is also providing front-end engineering design (FEED) services for ExxonMobil’s 10 million tons per annum Rovuma LNG project in Mozambique under a contract secured in September 2024. The company is committed to local content development and sustainable growth in African energy markets, as evidenced by its memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Namibia’s national oil company, NAMCOR, to collaborate on LNG, carbon-free energy, decarbonization, and skills and technology transfer [1].

Technip Energies' expertise in FLNG technology is further demonstrated by its recent achievements in commercial operations for the floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) vessel deployed at the bp-operated Greater Tortue Ahmeyim (GTA) gas project offshore Mauritania and Senegal. Built in China, the FPSO is equipped with eight processing and production modules and measures 270 meters in length, 54 meters in width, and 31.5 meters in depth. It is designed to accommodate 140 personnel and process up to 500 million standard cubic feet of gas per day, enabling the production of 2.3 million tons of LNG annually during Phase 1 [1].

This latest contract for the FLNG unit in Africa is a testament to Technip Energies' growing role in the global energy sector. The company's commitment to innovation, sustainability, and collaboration with key stakeholders is driving its success in the continent's energy transition.
