Also, you crucially need the guidance of a specialist petroleum industry consultant in Tanzania, such as Hussein Boffu, to help you in implementing this business plan.
Executive Summary
In recent years, due to economic recovery, Tanzania has registered significant growth in the demand for gas. Moreover, increased gas-to-power initiatives, increased industrialization and continued economic activities in the region require growth in gas-delivered volume for supporting economic expansion. Glass supply is so inadequate that current small gas-producing fields can’t cover the growth demand for all power consumers and industrial users. Moreover, the approach used to meet the increased gas demand elsewhere in the world is to encourage and attracting exploration and production companies through bidding around.
Rich Energy Exploration and Production Tanzania Limited is positioned to capitalize on these growing opportunities, that the Tanzanian oil and gas market hold, by playing vital roles in developing a new source of gas supply to ensure the availability of enough gas for power generation, industrial and households use.
The founding team has over 60 years’ experience in aspects of the energy industry including engineering, managerial, researching and marketing. The company will be established on 29th October 2020 to explore, develop and produce natural gas for industrial users and power stations in Tanzania.
Rich Energy Exploration and Production Tanzania Limited expects that approximately 40.4 billion in gas sales will be created annually.

Market Analysis
Tanzania is arguably the most exciting oil exploration region in the world. But it still is the most untapped region. As at the time of this writing, exploration activities confirmed reserves of 57.54 trillion cubic feet of natural gas in Tanzania, and more than 441 trillion cubic feet of natural gas are still trapped underground, solely in the coastal region, according to the US Geological Survey. So, discoveries might be forthcoming. This is why giants like Royal Dutch Shell, Equinor, Total and Pavilion Energy are buzzing around Tanzania like bees do to honey. The big boys won’t lift a finger if there’s no chance big profits could be made. Furthermore, with continued economic growth in Tanzania will come an increased gas demand. These signs indicate that the future for the oil and gas exploration activity is really bright.
Trends
There has been a change in the dynamic of oil and gas exploration and development in Tanzania, driven by the 2014-2016 oil price slump which reflects the global oil and gas industry downturn. The region has also seen takeovers and mergers amongst operating companies. Most noticeable of these were that Royal Dutch Shell acquired BG Group for US $50 million (the takeover gave Shell 60% of BG’s block 1 and block 4 offshore Tanzania in February 2016) and the Indonesian company, Medco Energi’s $539m acquisition of Ophir Energy in May 2019.
Competition
There have been significant onshore and offshore discoveries of gas in the last ten years and it is expected that the development of these discoveries will increase competition in the future.
Pan African Energy Tanzania (PAET), a subsidiary of Orca Exploration Group Inc. (“Orca”), operator of the Songo Songo gas field located in the southern part of Tanzania, has been producing gas in Tanzania since 2004.
Mnazi Bay field started producing gas in 2015 operated by Pertamina-owned Maurel & Prom partnered with Alberta-based Wentworth Resources and the state-owned oil company Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation have a stake in the field.
