Deep down you know it’s true that Tanzania’s oil and gas is growing at alarming rates. And if you look into industry today you’ll notice three things:
1.Foreign companies Everywhere are scrambling To Tap Opportunities
Major oil players in the world –Shell, Statoil, Exxon Mobil, Ophir energy, Pavilion energy have established offices in Tanzania. Even the Asian oil companies such as China National Offshore oil companies (CNOOC ) that were rarely to see them are now in the region. And more are coming in. Tanzania’s petroleum sector has become a powerful magnet for foreign investors.
2. New oil and gas projects are forthcoming
The Uganda–Tanzania oil-export pipeline projects that will cover 1403 kilometer stand to create over 15,000 jobs. The government plans to build a Liquefied natural gas plant in Lindi southern part of Tanzania. To top it off, some of the local companies are engaging in entire supply chain and supportive services.
3. Abundant oil and natural gas are underway
Tanzania has discovered approximately 57.25 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. 10.17 trillion cubic feet is on land and 40.08 trillion cubic feet is in deep water. But exploration is underway. So more discovery might be forthcoming.
So what does all this mean to you? Simple. All such projects require different local workers.
Sadly, Tanzania faces a serious shortage of local labor with skills and experiences relevant to oil and gas. The shortage of skilled local workforce with skills it threatens the oil and gas economy.
To reap substantial reward from the oil and gas we must have a pool of local workforce who will handle and manage our new found resources wealth.
