Mozambique - Oil and gas operations regulations

By Decree no. 34/2015, of 31 December, the Mozambican Government approved the Oil and Gas Operations Regulations ("OGOR") and, as a consequence, Decree no. 24/2004 of 20 August was revoked.

The OGOR establishes the rules for awarding the right to carry out oil and gas operations under a concession contract. A concession contract is an administrative contract under which the State grants Mozambican or foreign entities the right to carry out oil and gas operations - as long as they are registered in the Mozambican jurisdiction.
