Force majeure on ONGC Mozambique project lifted

Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) on Wednesday said the force majeure on its Mozambique LNG project has been lifted following a significant improvement in the security situation at the site.

The consortium, led by operator Total Energies, had declared force majeure in May 2021 and suspended construction work that began in 2019 on the 13.12 million metric tonnes per annum LNG project due to a deteriorating security situation. Force majeure refers to unforeseeable circumstances that prevent a party from fulfilling a contract.
