  • Why is Mozambique reliant on oil & fuel imports?
  • Mozambique is largely reliant on oil and fuel imports due to lack of domestic refining capacity, and is a net importer of petroleum products. Upstream activities - including exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas - and the liquid fuel sector are dominated by multinational companies.
  • What are the main petroleum products in Mozambique?
  • This report focuses on petroleum products from crude oil, natural gas, liquefied fuels and lubricating oils and greases, and the wholesale and retail trade of these products in Mozambique. It includes information on exploration and production sites, licensing rounds, notable players and developments.
  • Why is Mozambique developing a refinery?
  • Downstream Developments Mozambique is heavily reliant on oil, gas and petroleum derivative imports due to a lack of domestic refining capacity. As a result, the country is constructing its first refinery, to be fed by crude supplies from the Rovuma and Mozambique Basins.
  • Will Mozambique offer new exploration blocks for oil and gas?
  • Mozambique will offer around 12 new exploration blocks for oil and gas early next year, according to government officials. Although a number of gas fields in Mozambique were discovered in the early 1960's by Gulf Oil, they remained unexploited owing to continuing civil war and a lack of major gas consumers.
  • What is the oil industry in Mozambique?
  • The downstream oil industry in Mozambique is relatively small and relies on imports mainly from South Africa. Petromoc is the state owned oil company and controls the major market share. Other companies involved in the industry include BP, ExxonMobil and Caltex. There are three ports in Mozambique - Maputo, Beira and Nacala.
  • What are the non-energy uses of oil in Mozambique?
  • Many of the petroleum products made from oil have non-energy uses, notably asphalt, engine lubricants and raw materials for making plastics. In Mozambique, around 40% of people have access to electricity, through the grid or mini/off-grid systems.
