A discovery can be plugged into the new gas pipeline.

Aminex plc (LON:AEX) said a drill rig has now been mobilised following the completion of civil works at the Ntorya-2 site in Tanzania.

Around 1.5km from Ntorya-1, the second well will target 153bn cubic (BCF) feet of gas.

Aminex, which owns 75% of the Ruvuma acreage that is host potentially to significant accumulations of gas, sees Ntorya-2 as a low risk appraisal project.

Work will begin late this quarter and is expected to take between 45 and 60 days.

The original well, completed more than four years ago, flow tested at 20mln cubic feet of gas a day with 139 barrels of gas condensate.

Ntorya-2 well is being drilled into thicker part of the sand body located on the seismic data in 2014.

Aminex’s partner is fellow AIM explorer Solo Oil PLC (LON:SOLO).

The area in question lies just 20 kilometres from the Mtwara to Dar es Salaam gas pipeline which was commissioned in late 2015.

It is transporting gas from various fields, including the Kiliwani North Field, operated by Aminex and where Solo holds just over a 7% stake.

“Advancing the Ntorya appraisal and its commercialisation is now a key objective for Solo and we are pleased that rig mobilisation is now underway,” said Solo chairman Neil Ritson.

“The discovery of gas in high quality Cretaceous sandstone reservoirs in the onshore portion of the Ruvuma Basin represents very significant value and we look forward to confirmation of the spud date in due course.”

CGG has announced it has been awarded an extensive multi-client program by the Instituto Nacional de Petroleo/ Institute of National Petroleum of Mozambique  (INP) to acquire seismic data offshore Mozambique a multi-survey program designed to improve industry insight into the region’s geology and provide oil and gas companies with a greater level of understanding of the country’s prospectivity.

The program includes a 2D survey of over 6,550 km in the offshore Rovuma basin, including blocks R5-A, R5-B and R5-C, and a large 3D survey over the Beira High in the Zambezi Delta. The 3D survey is expected to be up to 40,000 km², subject to pre-commitment.

It will cover blocks Z5-C and Z5-D and surrounding open acreage in this deltaic area which is believed to be prospective.

CGG has also been awarded an onshore airborne gravity and magnetic survey in the Southern Mozambique Basin.

The proposed multi-client seismic program in the Mozambique Zambezi region will form part of a comprehensive, fully integrated geoscience package that will give participating companies a better overall understanding of the region.

Marine gravity and magnetic data will be acquired simultaneously with the seismic to aid regional interpretation.

The interpretive phase of the program will benefit from the full range of geoscience expertise from CGG’s Geology, Geophysics & Reservoir businesses including geological and remote sensing expertise from Robertson and NPA Satellite Mapping.

“As our first multi-client projects in Mozambique, these awards fit well with CGG’s long-term multi-client strategy to provide our clients with the most advanced understanding of the subsurface across the world’s key basins. The 5th License Round award process undertaken by the INP in 2015 saw a high level of interest in the Zambezi region and we believe our multi-client projects will highlight the exploration upside potential,” says Jean-Georges Malcor, CEO, CGG.

Get in touch with contractors participating in a LNG plant construction project.

If you’ve limited capital to buy and sell products and services into oil and gas industry , affiliate services are the best way to earn money in Tanzania’s gas sector.

And here’s how it works. You introduce oil and gas products and services to Tanzanian consumers or operating companies in Tanzania.

If it happens they make a purchase as a result of your introduction you get a commission as Thank you. The commission rates depend on your agreement and responsibilities

       Tips to succeed in this model.
Write timeless topics. For example, if you create a book that just explain opportunities in Uganda-Tanzania pipeline. You’ll never make it in the future.

You’ll make money from oil and gas companies who want to put their advertisement in your show or magazine. The best part is oil companies have a huge advertising budget .

New Tanzania Oil and Gas Report 2016

/in , /by

Eagle-Ford-600x400

Energy Boardroom recently releases a new report on the Oil and Gas sector in Tanzania, ‘Inside Oil & Gas Tanzania’.

Huge 55tcf gas discoveries have turned Tanzania from what was once an oft overlooked backwater in terms of hydrocarbons investment into one of the hottest properties in global energy. Multinationals are now jostling for position to capitalize on the wealth of opportunities in the country.

The report is an authoritative and up-to-date assessment of the major sector in this strategically important oil and gas producing country. Themes covered include

  • Tanzania in East Africa

Neighboring Mozambique and Kenya also possess the potential to develop into regional energy heavyweights. We assess Tanzania’s strengths and weaknesses compared to its East African neighbors and the importance of the contract to transport landlocked Uganda’s oil to the coast.

  • LNG: A Game Changer?

After years of bureaucratic delays, Tanzania is finally poised to build an LNG plant in the Southern port of Lindi and begin to capitalize on its gas reserves through export to international markets. We take a detailed look at this project and its potential to transform Tanzania.

  • Regulatory Reform

2015 was a big year for Tanzanian oil and gas, with the election of President John Magufuli and the roll-out of the Tanzania Petroleum Act. We assess the impact of Magufuli’s early tenure on the industry and introduce the reformed constellation of actors created by the new legislation.

  • The Big Scramble

Our in-depth cover story, ‘Braced for the Big Scramble’ examines the international oil and gas operators, large and small, making moves in Tanzanian oil and gas. We look at their respective strategies, successes, and failures, to paint a detailed picture of the opportunities in Tanzania.

Energy Boardroom‘s Tanzania Oil & Gas Report features in-depth interviews with:

  • James Mataragio, TPDC
  • Jamidu Katima, EWURA
  • Øystein Michelsen, Statoil
  • Neil Ritson, Solo Oil
  • Salim Bashir, KPMG

Quotes

“We have, to date, barely explored half of the country, yet from what we have witnessed so far, the potential is absolutely enormous”

  • James Mataragio, TPDC

“We are witnessing the dawn of a brave new economic trajectory for our country. There is much to be optimistic about. The future of the Tanzanian oil and gas industry is unquestionably bright!”

  • Jamidu Katima, EWURA

“[The LNG plant project in Lindi] is emblematic of the dawning of a new era in East African gas and of the resolve to make Tanzania an important player in the gas space.”

  • Øystein Michelsen, Statoil

“There’s a real race underway to become Africa’s newest LNG exporter and each side is on the lookout for any possible advantage they can gain.”

  • Ronke Luke, Oilprice
