The desk brief
On 17-18 Sep 2026 Mozambique's National Petroleum Institute (INP) launched a tender to hire consultants to audit recoverable costs for Rovuma Area 1 (covering 2025-2026) and Area 4 (covering 2024-2026), extending regulator oversight to major projects including Mozambique LNG, Coral Sul FLNG and Rovuma LNG.
The INP audit could reduce the amount of costs accepted as recoverable, mechanically increasing the State's share of future production revenue or prompting disputes that delay project schedules and final investment decisions. Verification findings may also affect lender assessments of projected cashflows and government fiscal projections — though any market or financing impact will depend on the audit's scope, timelines and findings.
INP awards the consultancy tender and publishes the audit terms of reference and timeline.
