Ophir and its joint venture partners, BG Tanzania (Shell) and Pavilion Energy, have concluded the drilling of two exploration wells offshore Tanzania, safely and on time.

The programme comprised Kitatange-1 in Block 1 and Bunju-1 in Block 4. After evaluation, Shell, the operator of Blocks 1 and 4, has confirmed that good quality reservoir was encountered in both wells, however hydrocarbons were not found.

The Noble Globetrotter 2 rig has been demobilised from site. The two wells fulfil the final exploration commitments as per the exploration licences issued by the Ministry of Energy and Minerals (MEM).

Subsequent to the completion of drilling Kitatange-1, a bridging licence has been awarded for the existing discovery Locations in Block 1.

Active Oil and Gas Companies To Approach In Tanzania

If you’re looking for a job or you want to supply products in Tanzania’s oil and gas industry. The first thing first you should do is to figure out the active oil and gas companies right now that you can approach for supplies or a job.

Identify active companies in Tanzanian oil and gas market is very crucial. Why? Simple. Because there are many companies operating in Tanzania, but you should narrow your target 3 to 4 companies that are active right now.

This will help save you a lot of time, approaching prospect who are not in a position to buy your supplies or hire you.

As we all know you can’t sell shoes to a person who has lost his legs, you can’t sell the business to a person who has got bankruptcy.
The same way you can’t sell products to the companies that have no project right now in Tanzania.
Or approaching a company for a job when such company has no work in Tanzania.So, to stand out you have to pinpoint the active oil and gas companies in Tanzania. Here are those companies

  1.  Pan African Energy Tanzania Ltd
  2. CarOil (T) Ltd.
  3. Maurel et Prom Exploration Ltd
  4. Schlumberger
  5. BG-Shell
  6. Songas limited
  7. Amnenx or Ndovu Resources ltd

 But to know such companies could not lead you to get a work from these companies.

You should know how to approach them, persuade and follow up so as they give out a work or you sell them your products and services

And that will be the next post.

Ntorya-2 drilling operations Start, spudding expected soon

/in /by

ntorya-123-location

Aminex plc, operator of the Ruvuma PSA in Tanzania, has advised that the Caroil-2 rig has been formally accepted on contract following inspection by an independent surveyor and that Ntorya-2 drillingoperations commenced over the weekend.   Spudding of the Ntorya-2 appraisal well is expected in the next few days.

The Ntorya-2 well is planned to be drilled to an estimated total depth of 2,860 metres and is targeting the same sandstone channel complex as found at Ntorya-1, but located further up-dip.

The well location is approximately 1,500-metre southwest from the Ntorya-1 discovery which (as reported in June 2012) flowed gas at 20 million standard cubic feet per day, with 139 barrels of associated condensate, from a 3.5-metre sandstone interval on test.

Aminex plc has 75% interest while Solo Oil has a 25% operating interest in the Ruvuma PSA and in the Ntorya-2 well.

Imminent drilling in Tanzania gives Solo Oil considerable upside potential

/in /by
New drilling in the Ruvuma appraisal and exploration acreage in Tanzania, as well as progress at Horse Hill will provide near-term catalysts for the AIM quoted oil and gas share, according to Shore Capital.

oil drilling onshore

                                 Drilling is due to start in Tanzania before the end of 2016

Imminent new drilling in Tanzania offers considerable upside potential to complement Solo Oil PLC’s (LON:SOLO) new found cashflows in the country, so says Shore Capital analyst Craig Howie.

The analyst – who sees Solo’s value about three times higher than the current price – fully expects the drilling of the Ntorya-2 appraisal well on the Ruvuma project to start within the stated schedule, i.e. late in the fourth quarter.

“With the majority of well services already contracted, a December spud date is being targeted, after which drilling is scheduled to take 45-60 days. We were very encouraged to see rig mobilisation underway and look forward to confirmation of spudding by year-end,” Howie said in a note.

Significantly the analyst highlights that the well has been estimated to have a 60% chance of success and that could go a long way to unlocking the project’s resource potential, estimated at some 1.1 trillion cubic feet of in-place gas across the whole area.

Ruvuma is expected to be complete by the second quarter of 2017.

It will be the first of two planned wells, followed by the unsurprisingly named Ntorya-3, which will be an exploration well designed to test what is thought to be test the thickest part of the main Cretaceous play.

Kiliwani North providing cash flows

Howie also highlights that Solo and its partner are now generating cash from Tanzania, following the recent start-up of the Kiliwani North gas field. He notes that the single well operation has been producing since mid-year at under commissioning conditions, ahead an official declaration that commercial production is underway.

“We understand that KN-1 (which originally tested at 40mmcfd) has continued to produce steadily at rates exceeding 15mmcfd and has been producing condensate at up to 150bcpd,” Howie notes.

Condensate production is going into storage, Howie points out, as the partners finalise offtake arrangements.

“In the meantime, although TPDC has yet to arrange a letter of credit and declare commercial operations, we understand that it has been relatively prompt in paying for Kiliwani North gas,” he added.

Horse Hill go-ahead expected in early 2017

Shore Capital anticipates a decision on planning permission for the next phase of work at Horse Hill, near Gatwick airport, will come in early 2017.

Solo has a 6.5% interest in the project, where the next phase is intended to include an extended production test on the most recent well, in addition to a side-track on the existing well and a separate new well.

The idea for this programme is to confirm commerciality and to establish the initial development for the field’s production operation.

Initial appraisal represents the immediate catalyst.

“Appraisal of the project and the generation of near term production revenues are contingent on a successful planning application, but we would highlight the successful receipt of approvals for earlier work (including drilling and flow testing) and the fact that feedback from a public consultation process has already been incorporated into the partners’ plans,” Howie said.

“We are therefore confident that the relevant planning approvals will be received and look forward to the confirmation of this prior to the commencement of the next phase of ground operations.”

Solo’s valuation seen as a multiple of current share price

Shore Capital gives an 0.8p per share valuation for Solo Oil, which compares very favourably with the AIM oil and gas firm’s current price of 0.26p.

The valuation is based on Kiliwani North producing at an average rate of 17.5mln cubic feet over the second half of this year and at the same rate through 2017 – as such it implies re-rating potential once ‘commercial production’ and a ramp-up in volumes materialises.

Based on the current assumptions Solo will, according to Howie, be generating £1.1mln of revenue from Kiliwani North in 2017.

“However, it remains the case that results from Ntorya-2 will be the principal share price driver in the shorter term, in our opinion.”

Other catalysts identified by the broker include the third Ruvuma well and an anticipated revision to the Kiliwani North reserves report.

Howie highlights that Solo’s stake in the Ruvuma project could be seen as ‘overweight’ and as such he sees good scope for industry deals which would boost the company’s financial position.

ATA PETRODYNE FARM-IN BEHIND SWALA, OTTO ENERGY DISPUTE IN TANZANIA

/in , /by

A simmering  dispute between two Australian companies Swala and Otto Energy in Tanzania could have emanated from a failed joint farm-down by Tata Petrodyne Limited.

According to Swala Energy in it latest presentation to shareholders the two joint venture partners had earlier agreed on a joint farm-down by Tata Petrodyne Limited where it would get equity in both the Pangani and Kilosa-Kilombero licenses from both partners.

However the operator said it assessed that a joint farm down would add additional complexity resulting to a new agreement between the then JV partners that the Indian company would farm into just Swala’s 25% which it did in June 2015 with the $5.7 million transaction completed in the following October. There were discussions regarding Otto then farming down 12.5% to Swala.

Swala however blames Otto Energy for not going ahead to pursue the matter even after holding initial discussions around a draft farm-in agreement.

Thereafter in early February 2016 Swala blames its Australian counterpart of delaying drilling at Kito prospect located in the Kilosa-Kilombero license with the backing of the new entry partner Tata which has now been pushed to 2017. The operator argued the delay to the commitment well on technical and financial grounds and Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation (TPDC) also declined to allow the request

“On the 22nd February 2016 Otto’s lawyers contacted the Chairman of Swala Energy Limited (Australia) (SWE) demanding payment for the (incomplete) Pangani farm-down – coincidence that this was done 6 days after not getting their own way on Kilosa-Kilombero?. We discussed possible mechanisms to progress the farm-in, but Otto presented obstacles,” says Swala CEO David Mestres Ridge.

Swala claims that Otto’s argument is flawed as its assertion that the directors of SWE had controlled the actions of the board of Swala is wrong as there are just two directors and four ‘independent’ directors.

“Those SWE directors had removed ‘Otto’s money’ from Swala and sent it to SWE (actually, we sent $2.51 million and retained $3.2 million in Swala); and – Therefore (so the argument) the SWE directors should, through their insurance, reimburse Otto for a transaction that Otto has chosen not to complete – it has had 14 months to transact,” Ridge adds.

Otto in May commenced a legal action against against Swala, current and certain former directors seeking to recover a gross amount of approximately US$1,000,000 plus alleged damages in relation to the Pangani licence of which the partners have told the TPDC of their desire to relinquish  after the technical review of the licence showed no structures of commercial interest. Swala Energy said they intended to defend such legal action with vigour and, having taken initial legal advice, were of the opinion that Otto’s claim had no legal merit.

Otto Energy has also gone ahead to push for the removal of Swala as the operator after defaulting in various cash calls.

These notices relate to:

  1. defaults in relation to non-payment by SOGTP of cash calls and associated interest accrued under the JOAs;
  2. claims by Otto Tanzania for payment of interest accruing under the JOAs as a result of SOGTP’s defaults, amounting to approximately US$360,000; and the removal of SOGTP as Operator of the Kilosa-Kilombero licence area following SOGTP’s failure to satisfy the joint venture partners that it is not insolvent.

Otto Energy has since reached a farm-down agreement with MV Upstream Tanzania Limited (MV Upstream), a joint venture between Vegas Oil & Gas Limited, (Vegas) and Motor Oil Hellas SA (MOH) in respect of the assignment of a 25% participating interest in the Kilosa-Kilombero Licence onshore Tanzania.

The matter now being progressed in the Australian courts

NOBLE GLOBETROTTER II

                     Drilling Ship  NOBLE GLOBETROTTER II



Despite the low oil prices, oil and gas projects are progressing in Tanzania.
We see Amnex company has contracted a drilling ship called Caroil rig 2, and now they are drilling in southern part of Tanzania

Also, Shell and its co-partners, has announced to start drilling of two exploration wells since the end of October.

And the drilling company  that has contracted for this project is called Noble Globe Trotter 2.
So what does all this mean to you? This living testimony that opportunities are immense in the oil and gas sector in Tanzania.

And you can take part of this booming sector in Tanzania by offering products and services to the companies operating in Tanzania.

But, what are these companies buy? And when they buy products and services? Relax! Because In the next few minutes, I will list the products and services you can supply to these projects. Why is this article essential for you?

Because it will help you to find your fit in the Tanzania’s oil and gas supply chain and reap substantial reward from this booming industry. So stick with me all the way to the end of this article.

Technically speaking these drilling programs that shell and Amnex are doing, they are grouped in upstream business of the oil and gas supply chain. So what is upstream? Simple.
To be clear, upstream is the part of oil and gas sector that cover everything from finding oil and gas resources and drilling them so as they can be transported to the place where they can be refined or converted into finished products for consumers.

So the kind of things these oil and gas companies buys in these upstream projects or when they are in drilling stage of natural gas wells in Tanzania include the following

1. Logistics and transportation
In order for these oil and gas companies to be able to drill such wells, they require moving a lot of people, equipment to the workplace
2. Food supplies
Drilling operations that shell and its joint venture partners, Ophir Energy and Pavilion  energy will take place in deep water. People there has to be fed, so food has to get there.
3. Engineering and Construction Services

4. Maintenance services

5. Fabrication services of various types for the equipment

6. Electrical and Instrumentation services. As all of you know for the deep sea or offshore projects is huge of mechanical and electrical equipment.That’s why electrical and instrumentation services are in dire demand

7. Drilling fluids and Chemicals. So thinks like bentonite, sodium chloride, calcium chloride, fresh water system is considered in this stage

8. Human resources services: This includes supply of temporary and permanent labors, such as technicians, engineers, welders etc

9. Safety materials: All safety products from Gloves, Helmets, coverall, Safety shoes, up to goggles

So if you are offering  such products and services, think about approaching these oil companies that currently have projects in Tanzania. And with a good approach, you’re smiling at your bank account with huge cash.

Be warning, If you’re outside Tanzania, end you really want to benefit from this supply chain, partnering with local companies is the way to go. Because they know the local business and culture. That way, you build a business relationship with local companies that result in the win-win situation.

If you have anything feel free to get in touch with me at Hussein.Boffu@Tanzaniapetroleum.com or 0655 37 65 43. And I will be glad to answer you.
Good luck to you: spend wisely because the oil and natural gas will never last forever in our country
