The award builds on earlier early-works contracts and moves the Coral Norte project further into execution. Technip Energies is working in partnership with JGC and Samsung Heavy Industries on the development.
Coral Norte is designed as a replica of the Coral Sul FLNG facility, which is already in operation offshore Mozambique. The project will use the same feed gas composition and field location while incorporating lessons learned to improve efficiency and LNG output.
The hull launch for the facility took place Jan. 16, 2026, in Geoje, South Korea.
Mozambique Rovuma Venture is an Eni-participated joint venture overseeing the Area 4 gas developments in the Rovuma basin.
Loïc Chapuis, President Project Delivery & Services of Technip Energies, commented: “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.”
Coral Norte represents Mozambique’s continued offshore gas expansion in the Rovuma basin, reinforcing FLNG as a scalable development model for remote deepwater resources.
