Mozambique Rovuma Basin LNG Regulatory Compliance Playbook

This playbook addresses the intricate regulatory framework governing LNG project operations within Mozambique's Rovuma Basin. It examines the core legislative instruments—Lei dos Petróleos, Petroleum Operations Regulations, and specific legal mandates under Decreto-Lei n.º 2/2014. Special emphasis is placed on compliance with Exploration and Production Concession Contracts (EPCC), the strategic involvement of the national concessionaire ENH, and the compulsory domestic gas allocation. Operators are advised on meeting local content, exchange control, capital repatriation statutes, and stability protocols for security alignment, with acute awareness of fiscal exposures and strategic regulatory interfaces critical for compliance and operability.
