Mozambique LNG 2021: The $20B Investment Decision & The Force Majeure Timeline│File 151 T1
Financial Forensics: The Due Diligence FilesShow Notes
Twenty billion dollars of approved investment. Ninety percent of the plant's future output already sold, under contracts running into the next decade. And by the last week of April 2021, the number of company employees physically present on site was zero. This financial autopsy deconstructs the Cabo Delgado insurgency escalation and its direct collision with the multi-billion-dollar Rovuma Basin gas infrastructure development led by Anadarko and Total. 🔴 Every corporate failure leaves behind a pattern. FFL Tools runs a live deal through the same forensic questions behind every case in this feed — 11 dimensions, 55 questions, calibrated to Real Estate, PE, Private Credit or VC — and returns a full Investment Committee Memo, scored against 140 documented collapses.

We trace the mechanical pattern of how an actively accelerating local security trend gets treated inside a traditional financial model as a static country-risk footnote instead of a live, dated variable. The analysis covers the chronological milestones from the initial October 2017 armed attacks near Mocimboa da Praia to the 2019 final investment decision (FID) and Total's subsequent $3.9 billion asset acquisition. We dissect the operational realities of the March 2021 Palma attack, the formal deployment of the April 2021 force majeure clause, the multi-year suspension costs, and the ultimate 2026 project remobilization parameters under regional security support.
