Iraq has relaunched a delayed project with Baker Hughes to capture gas at two of its southern oil fields.

Political parties likely to form a new center-left government in Norway differ on how fast and how far the climate pendulum should turn.

After initial hesitation, Mozambique is embracing international military intervention to tackle the ongoing insurgency in Cabo Delgado that is jeopardizing its LNG aspirations. The intervention is having an immediate impact with large swaths of territory recaptured, but security risks will remain elevated as rebels head for the forest, possibly preparing for a protracted guerilla campaign. If the government can hold onto its gains and the improved security environment proves durable, it will likely pave the way for work on critical LNG projects to resume. Risk Research improved Mozambique’s Country Risk Index Security score from 9 to 8 to reflect these developments; further upgrades are possible in the future if these gains prove sustainable.
