South Africa's Sasol to Finish Construction of Second Gas Pipeline from Mozambique

Sasol expects to complete this month construction of first phase of the second pipeline to carry natural gas from the Temane Processing Centre in Mozambique’s Inhambane province, said the director of Sasol Petroleum Temane Lda, Mateus Zimba, reports macauhub, a news website.

According to the news report, the 127 km long pipeline will connect Temane to Zivine in the Funhalouro district, where a small junction with the first pipeline is being built. The earlier pipeline supplies natural gas to southern Mozambique and to Secunda in South Africa.

Construction of the new pipeline began in March 2013.

The South African group extracts natural gas from two deposits in Inhambane – Pande and Temane.

Last year Sasol said it will make a decision on investments in developing two more commercial oil and gas fields in Mozambique by early 2015.
