Eni Kicks Off Coral North FLNG Drilling Campaign Off Mozambique

Eni and its Area 4 partners have launched a drilling and completion campaign for the Coral North floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) project offshore Mozambique, ahead of its planned start-up in 2028.

The campaign, expected to last approximately 10 months, will be carried out by ENH-Saipem Drilling Company using Saipem’s SAIPEM 12000 drillship.

Coral North is located in the northern part of the Coral reservoir in Area 4 of the Rovuma Basin, where Eni is developing the project alongside China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), ENH, KOGAS and XRG.

The drilling program marks the first time a company with Mozambican participation has assumed a direct operational role in offshore drilling, through the ENH-Saipem joint venture.
