INP ENHANCES STAFF COMPETENCIES IN INFORMATION MANAGEMENT AND PUBLIC SECTOR CONDUCT

Maputo, 17 July 2026 – The National Petroleum Institute (INP), acting in its capacity as Mozambique’s Petroleum Regulatory Authority, hosted a specialized capacity-building workshop on Friday for its civil servants and state agents, organized as part of its collective legal studies program and activities commemorating International Archives Day.

The initiative was designed to reinforce staff expertise regarding technical, administrative, and ethical procedures governing public service delivery within the regulatory body.

The session was facilitated by Inspector Roque Tembo from the National Commission for the Implementation of State Secrets Norms (CPISE) and Odibar Lampeão, a specialist from the Ministry of State Administration and Public Service (MAEFP).

Featuring interactive discussions and knowledge sharing between participants and facilitators, the workshop addressed critical topics such as records management and the handling of classified information—focusing specifically on state secrecy protocols, confidentiality, professional secrecy, and public sector codes of conduct.

Odibar Lampeão presented the theme "Integrity and Modernization in the Context of Public Administration Reforms, with Focus on Communication", while Inspector Roque Tembo guided the session on "Information Security Culture".

The head of the Human Resources Department of the INP, Ana Injojo, said that the initiative is part of the institution’s business plan for this year and contributes to the compliance with the rules of organization and functioning of the Public Administration, and to the improvement of staff performance. "This training is part of the activities planned for this year and reinforces the INP's commitment to improving the performance of its officials and state agents," said Ana Injojo.

Odibar Lampeão, addressing the participants, left a message of encouragement to the processes of digital transformation underway in the state apparatus. The speaker stressed that State officials and officials should not fear the introduction of new technologies into the institution. "On the contrary, these are solutions with an enormous potential to promote the speed of administrative actions, bringing direct benefits to citizens who use our services," the speaker said.

The proceedings concluded with a call to action for the responsible adoption of digital tools, strict compliance with information security frameworks, and the continuous enhancement of administrative practices aimed at operational efficiency and regulatory service excellence.

AREA 1

Following the 2nd open competition for the granting of areas for the research and production of hydrocarbons, the companies Anadarko Mozambique Area 1 and the National Hydrocarbon Company were awarded Area 1 in offshore environment of the Rovuma Basin. The area is located in the northern part of Cabo Delgado Province, in shallow to very deep waters. The Hydrocarbon Research and Production Areas Grant Agreement (CCPP) was signed on 20 December 2006 and is effective as of 1 February 2007.

PROSPERITY DISCOVERING AREA

Median estimate of 43 tcf (cubic foot trillions) of gas.

4 Transzonal Reservoirs:

  • Upper North Oligocene;
  • Upper South Oligocene;
  • Oligocene Lower;
  • Upper Eocene;

TUBARAN DISCOVER AREA

Median estimate of 3.4 (cubic foot trillions) Tcf of natural gas.

THE AREA OF DISCOVERMENT

Median estimate of 8.4 Tcf (cubulated foot trillions) of natural gas

The Paleocene Reservoirs.

THE AREA OF DISCOVERMENT

Tigris Shark Discovery Area (1254 km2), has 3 reservoirs of the Cretaceous (K1,K2 and K3), the K2 being the best in Orca and Shark-Tigre and has a median estimate of 0.323 Tcf (cubic foot trillions) of natural gas.

UNKNOWN TUGRE AND ORCA (CRETACICO LEQUE 1, 2 E 3), ROVUMA OFFSHORE AREA 1

The complete technical evaluation of the potential of the Cretaceous in Area 1, between the Areas of Discovery Tubarão Tigre and Orca, determined that it contains small, discontinuous and low quality reservoirs, and this would probably present significant challenges in the supply of trade amounts of gas. Of the three reservoirs of Cretaceous (K1,K2 and K3) evaluated, the best is K2 in Orca and Shark-Tiger that has an average resource of 0.323 Tcf (cubic foot trillions) of natural gas.

FOUND OUT ORCA (LECK OF MEDIO PALEOCEN), ROVUMA OFFSHORE AREA 1

This discovery was made in Area 1 by Anadarko in 2013 through borehole Orca-1, whose reservoir is the age of the Middle Paleocene, was subsequently evaluated by the holes Manta-1, Orca-2, Orca-3 and Orca-4.

The discovery is located about 10 km from the coast line, 250 km from the city of Pemba. This reservoir is of Middle Paleocene age and is not shared. The average estimate of resources is about 8.4 Tcf (cubulated foot trillions) of natural gas in situ, according to estimates submitted by Total.

The reservoir in the Orca discovery lies at depths ranging from 4000 to 5000m below the mid sea level, and the water column from about 600m to 1200m. The extension is about 30 km.

UNCOVERED TUBARON (EOCENO), ROVUMA OFFSHORE AREA 1

This discovery was made by Anadarko in January 2011 through the Jaw-1 hole and evaluated by the Shark-2 hole (negative) in 2013. The discovery is located about 25 km from the coast line, 50 Km of the Northeast of the district of Mocímboa da Praia and 200 Km of the Northeast of Pemba City.

The reservoir is completely in Area 1. The average estimate of resources is about 3.4 tcf (cubic foot trillions) of gas in situ.

The reservoir is at a depth of 3500 to 4000 metres below the average sea level. The water column ranges from 800 to 1200 meters. The extent of the Shark discovery is about 20 km east-oriented.
