French oil company TotalEnergies CEO Patrick Pouyanné met with Mozambique President Daniel Chapo to discuss a controversial liquified natural gas (LNG) project that has undergone multiple delays, according to Chapo's social media.

TotalEnergies has again delayed the restart of its $20 billion LNG project in Mozambique due to ongoing security issues and political instability.

TotalEnergies has further delayed its troubled $20bn liquefied natural gas project in Mozambique as security concerns and political uncertainty dog one of Africa’s biggest energy investments.

TotalEnergies chief executive was due to convene with Daniel Chapo shortly after early October election, but months of political violence forced a delay

TotalEnergies SE hired a Washington lobbyist to help approve key export financing in an effort to revive its Mozambique liquefied natural gas project, which has been on hold for years due to security threats.
