I didn’t start Tanzania Petroleum because I thought the world needed another research company.
I started it because I kept seeing how difficult it was for people to make business decisions when they didn’t have a clear understanding of the market.
When you want to launch a project, enter a new market, expand your business operation, or pursue a new opportunity, you have many questions.
- Is there really a market?
- Who are the customers?
- Who are the competitors?
- Where is the opportunity?
- What could go wrong?
- What are the regulatory requirements?
- What are the costs?
Sometimes the information exists.
The problem is finding it, bringing it together and understanding what it means.
That is what first interested me.
My background is in Petroleum Geoscience, and my interest gradually moved beyond the technical side of petroleum into the business and market side of energy.
I started Tanzania Petroleum as a publication to make useful information about Tanzania’s petroleum industry easier to find.
But as I worked with more businesses and investors, I realized something: People don’t just need information. They need understanding.
They need someone who can help them look at the market, connect the information, examine the opportunity and make sense of what it means for their business.
That became the direction of Tanzania Petroleum.
Today, we provide market intelligence, research, feasibility studies, business planning and strategic advisory for businesses and investors in Tanzania and East Africa’s energy markets.
But the work goes beyond producing reports. We help people make sense of the market before they make important decisions.
I believe that better understanding can give a business owner the confidence to take the next step, help an investor see an opportunity more clearly, and help a company avoid making an expensive decision based on assumptions.
That is why our purpose is: To turn uncertainty into understanding, so people and businesses can move forward and grow.
I’m still building Tanzania Petroleum.
And I believe there is a lot more to understand, build and grow across Tanzania and Africa’s energy markets.
Understand. Compete. Grow.
