ITALIAN state company Eni has made what the company describes as a giant natural gas discovery on the Mamba South-1 prospect in Area 4 offshore Mozambique.
This latest East Africa find, said to offer the potential to prove up to some 15trillion cu.ft in size, was made some 40km offshore Cabo Delgado in 1,585m of water.
There is already talk of a major liquefied gas development serving local, regional and international markets.
