Mozambique’s fifth oil and gas bid round has been delayed from its April 30th deadline.
The government did say why the deadline had been extended to a later date of July 30th.
There are 15 exploration blocks on offer, including three new areas of the northern Rovuma Basin.
Both Anadarko Petroleum and Eni are currently developing a multi-billion dollar LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) export projects in the region.
The most recent bid has been delayed a number of times.
The country is hoping to harness the natural gas reserves in the country, with a view to becoming the world’s third-largest LNG exporters, behind Qatar and Australia.
