Last year it had been confidently expected that the Italian hydrocarbon company ENI, which is the operator in Offshore Area 4 in the Rovuma Basin, would make its Final Investment Decision on plans to run a Floating Liquefied Natural Gas plant. However, there is still no FID.
In addition, Anadarko is still some way off making its FID on its planned onshore LNG plant which will process natural gas from Offshore Area 1.
This document looks at the delays after seeking opinions from Mozambique’s experts.
We also attach the announcement from the Ministry of Mineral Resources and Energy regarding the awarding of natural gas from the Rovuma Basin for use in the domestic market.
This interview took place on 9 February with an official in the

For example, the Anadarko project takes into account the number of tomato plants you have on your field, the number of fruit trees, the number of chickens, goats and so on. The same happens with the fishermen. Anadarko takes into account the expected revenue, the number of boats and all the details related to the fishing activities and revenues expected to calculate the compensation payment.
To prevent problems in the future, Anadarko will sign a contract with every single resident living in the affected area.
One thing that is worth mentioning is that when we ask the residents about how much they would like to receive as compensation money they are unable to say. They just don’t have any idea of how much they would like to be paid.
Resettlement is not expected to be a major issue for the ENI project because this company is going to use a FLNG plant offshore.
I am concerned about ExxonMobil delaying the project. Those guys from ExxonMobil have already approved their investments plans and capex for this year. These were approved in August, September and October last year. So where in the hell are they going to get money for Rovuma this year?
If they enter into the game they might delay the project another one of two years at least. The problem is we are dealing with billions of dollars and not millions. It is a lot of money at stake.

One of these is that this pipeline will be among the largest in America. Yet the oil that flows through it will not be used in the US, but sent to Asia to compete with our own exports. The next is the accident rate in North Dakota is extremely high. There have been massive leaks, and spills all throughout the state, yet the companies are in bed with the politicians, and end up pay fractions of what they should. The most disturbing is that OSHA only has 9 inspectors between North and South Dakota. This lack of supervision and accountability contribute helps to one death once every six weeks. Since the big oil companies use subcontractors they cannot easily be sued for injuries, or deaths. As usual legalized corruption has a massive effect on policy, and regulation. The politicians turn a blind eye, while everyone else is
The pipeline is about 75% done but has been stop because of the the Standing Rock Sioux Indian tribe. The pipeline is supposed to go under the cannonball river and
The federal government has stopped the pipeline company from crossing the river. The reason, the Army Corps of Engineers is reviewing approvals that was previously given for the project. It’s uncleared if the Crops will allow or block the pipeline. Its anyones guess when the final decision will be

Healthcare, vocational training and work opportunity, pentagonal of sexual abuse from staff, alcohol and drug use and problems relating to their children.
Will the Keystone XL Pipeline undercut the United States efforts to be a leader in climate change and environmental initiatives?
Because of this very reason, many citizens, especially passionate environmentalists, have taken interests on this matter because it jeopardizes our environmental welfare in exchange for mere money. This claim is actually possible concerning that nothing can really be perfect; that this pipeline will eventually have problems that can significantly affect us. As said before, professionals have worked and are currently working on this pipeline plan. Trusting someone who is credible enough to be a specialists on something is better than judging based on one’s unproven probability. Since the US Army Corps Engineers, the federal government, and oil company who is in charge for this claim that DAPL, “ will be among the safest, most technologically advanced pipelines in the world,” and still pushes for this project to continue, when the worst actually happens they can be sued for the infringement of: National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, Clean Water Act of 1972, Endangered species act of 1973, National Environment Policy Act of 1969, and Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974 (“Checking the Facts Once Again”). Knowing that they will be facing these charges if,
It has positive, and negative sides to the project. I know that it will bring eighty five thousands jobs according to the video on their website, and a billion dollars worth of wages. It will bring economic stability to thousands and that part of the pipeline
This is not a guarantee the KXL project will go forward, as the fate of the pipeline is still subject to state, local, and tribal approvals in addition to other obstacles (BBC News, 2017).
From extensive research, using a variety of relevant and credible resources, there are three compensation systems that should be considered:
But this project is severely criticized by the aboriginals and many non-governmental organizations. Many groups have organized campaigns against the project because they consider it as a environmental crime. Even though Enbridge is trying to make a lot of efforts and constantly changing proposals for it to get approved but till now all of them have gone in
On september 9,2016 Jack healy and John schwartz wrote in the new York time that, The U.S has temporarily suspended a part construction of the pipeline in North Dekota. Due to many protest made by thousands of native American for the violation of their tribal water supplies and ancestral cultural

It is unclear how long the delay will last and whether it will survive under the Trump administration. Trump’s financial disclosure forms show he has
Recent spike in US and Canada shale gas production have reduced the prices in the region to historical minimum of less than $4/MMBtu, a half of the price for Europe and five times less the price for China or Japan. This difference in prices has raised huge interest to export of LNG from USA to Asian market. Out of country’s total 11 LNG
