Aminex PLC (AEX.L), a UK-based oil and gas exploration and production company, announced on Wednesday that its partner, ARA Petroleum LLC (APT), has commenced land acquisition and compensation processes for the Ntorya Gas Development project in Tanzania. This marks a significant step forward in the development of the project, located in the Mtwara region.

The initiative includes acquiring plots for the Chikumbi-1 well and the associated Upstream Processing Facilities.

Additionally, the NT-3 site, previously acquired, is being expanded to facilitate the construction of a camp and storage yard, critical for supporting the project’s operational needs.

Community engagement sessions have been actively conducted in the Ntorya, Namahyakata, Barabarani, and Nanguruwe villages within the Mtwara District.

These sessions aim to involve local communities in the development process, ensuring transparency and addressing any concerns. The Mtwara District Commissioner, Mwanahamisi Munkunda, attended these sessions along with other regional government officials, underscoring the local government’s support and involvement in the project.

Aminex expressed gratitude for the warm reception and support from the local communities, emphasizing the project’s commitment to positive community relations and sustainable development.

The Ntorya Gas Development project is part of Tanzania’s broader efforts to harness its natural gas resources, which are seen as vital to the country’s energy security and economic growth.
