INP PROMOTES MOZAMBIQUE’S HYDROCARBON POTENTIAL TO GLOBAL INVESTORS
Houston, USA — The National Petroleum Institute (INP), acting in its capacity as the national Petroleum Regulatory Authority, is participating in the International Meeting for Applied Geoscience and Energy (IMAGE 2026), held from August 17 to 20 in Houston, Texas. The initiative aims to showcase Mozambique’s vast hydrocarbon potential and drive foreign investment into frontier exploration acreage across the country’s sedimentary basins.
The regulator’s presence is anchored in the Global Energy Opportunities Pavilion, where the INP hosts an exhibition stand featuring key geological data, technical promotional assets, ongoing developments, and high-upside exploration opportunities in frontier plays.
No quadro do evento, foi realizada uma apresentação dedicada a Moçambique, subordinada ao tema “Potencial de Pesquisa de Hidrocarbonetos de Moçambique: Das Descobertas de Classe Mundial às Oportunidades Emergentes”.
The showcase illustrated how Mozambique is strategically leveraging its world-class natural gas discoveries while opening new investment frontiers across high-potential, underexplored blocks.
The presentation provided comprehensive technical insights into regional basin geology, resource potential, available acreage, fiscal and investment frameworks, and long-term development perspectives for the national energy sector.
Led by Ezequias Matlava, INP Director of Resource Assessment, the session served as a primary venue for direct interaction between energy operators, global investors, service contractors, key industry stakeholders, and the regulatory authority.
Through its participation at IMAGE 2026, the INP reinforces its mandate to promote technical data-driven opportunities, deepen dialogue with international energy partners, and underscore Mozambique’s commitment to fostering a sustainable, transparent, and globally competitive petroleum sector.
Delegates and industry participants are invited to visit the INP exhibition booth to gain first-hand technical insights into the opportunities defining this new chapter in the nation's energy history.
