The drilling works will be carried out on a part of the extensive Songo Songo natural gas field, located about 15 km from mainland Tanzania and more than 200 km south of the country’s largest city Dar es Salaam.

The 2021 workover program, estimated at a gross cost of $21.4 million, will increase the production potential from the world class Songo Songo reservoir and ensure the Company remains the leading gas supplier in Tanzania.  The Company supplies gas to over 40 industrial customers in Dar es Salaam and is responsible for the production of approximately 60% of gas generated power in the country.
