Background
The Mozambique-South Africa Pipeline is operated by the Republic of Mozambique Pipeline Company (ROMPCO), a joint venture of South African Gas Development Limited Company (iGas), Companhia Mocambiçana de Gasoduto (CMG), and Sasol Gas Holdings.[5] The pipeline went into service in 2004 with a capacity of 170 megajoules (MJG).[6] In March 2015 a 128 km loop line was completed parallel to the pipeline, raising annual capacity to 188 MJG.[6] In February 2017 an additional 127 km loop was completed parallel to the pipeline, raising annual capacity to 212 MJG.[7]
In July 2020, Sasol Gas Holdings announced that it would be selling its 50% stake in the Mozambique-South Africa Pipeline to help reduce the company's debt burden.[4]
