Exxon Lifts Force Majeure on Giant Mozambique LNG Project

Exxon Mobil Corp. lifted a force majeure on its Rovuma liquefied natural gas project in Mozambique as security concerns subside, a key step toward sanctioning the development and committing construction funds.

The force majeure was put in place after Islamic State-affiliated militants carried out an attack near its operations in northeastern Mozambique in 2021. Ending the force majeure will allow work to resume and is a crucial step toward Exxon making a final investment decision on the project, which is expected next year.
