Oil and gas companies under the consortium of Tanzania Liquefied Natural Gas Plant Project (TLNG) have donated 1.9m US dollars (about 4bn/-) to beef up employment opportunities for the youth through vocational training in natural gas in the twin southern regions of Mtwara and Lindi.

TLNG is composed of five partners–BG/Shell Group, ExxonMobil, Ophir Energy, Pavilion Energy and Statoil.

The assistance is to be used to implement Phase II of the Enhancing Employability through Vocational Training (EEVT) project, an ambitious scheme implemented by the Vocational Education and Training Authority (VETA), Voluntary Services Oversees (VSO) and GIZ through its Skills for Oil and Gas Africa (SOGA) initiative.

The EEVT project aims at improving the employability of young men and women in Mtwara and Lindi regions with a focus on the growing demand for skilled labour in the extractive industries–mining and natural gas and related services.

Deputy Minister of Education, Science and Technology, Eng Stella Manyanya, officially launched project’s second phase at an event held at VETA Mtwara yesterday.

""

Speaking at the project’s launch, a representative of the TLNG Plant Project, Kate Sullam, said that the commitment to extend further support came after realising remarkable achievements during the first phase.

Phase one of the programme was implemented between 2012 and 215 by VETA in collaboration with VSO. Minister Manyanya commended partners for supporting skills development and urged more companies to lend a helping hand. She urged Mtwara and Lindi residents to take an active part in vocational training in order to benefit from emerging job opportunites in the two regions.

“Vocational training has been a stimulant of sustainable development in many countries. Many developed countries made emphasis towards vocational training. Japan, for instance, is the country that hasn’t much natural resources, but invested in human resources through training, something that made it become the second largest economy in the world,” she said.

VETA Acting Director General Geoffrey Sabuni said that the EEVT project was one of the outstanding projects which contributed to achieving the organisation’s goals 1 and 2 focusing on improved equitable access to vocational training education and improved employability of VETA graduates respectively in a special way through the government’s spirit of involving all relevant partners.

 

In her presentation on the project, VETA Director of Vocational Education and Training, Leah Dotto, said that phase one of the project benefited 477 youth (103 girls and 374 boys) over and above the initial 280 target of the project.

She mentioned other notable achievements of the project as 51 per cent of graduates got employment within six months of their graduation and 93 per cent were awarded internationally recognised certificates in vocational training after they passed the UK’s City and Guilds Institute, examinations.

She said the first phase of the project involved six trades of welding and fabrication, carpentry and joinery, plumbing and pipe fitting, electrical installation and maintenance, food preparations and motor vehicle mechanics.

The second phase project will add scaffolding and rigging, industrial painting and heavy duty equipment operation on top of the phase one trade.

New Tanzania Oil and Gas Report 2016

/in , /by

Eagle-Ford-600x400

Energy Boardroom recently releases a new report on the Oil and Gas sector in Tanzania, ‘Inside Oil & Gas Tanzania’.

Huge 55tcf gas discoveries have turned Tanzania from what was once an oft overlooked backwater in terms of hydrocarbons investment into one of the hottest properties in global energy. Multinationals are now jostling for position to capitalize on the wealth of opportunities in the country.

The report is an authoritative and up-to-date assessment of the major sector in this strategically important oil and gas producing country. Themes covered include

  • Tanzania in East Africa

Neighboring Mozambique and Kenya also possess the potential to develop into regional energy heavyweights. We assess Tanzania’s strengths and weaknesses compared to its East African neighbors and the importance of the contract to transport landlocked Uganda’s oil to the coast.

  • LNG: A Game Changer?

After years of bureaucratic delays, Tanzania is finally poised to build an LNG plant in the Southern port of Lindi and begin to capitalize on its gas reserves through export to international markets. We take a detailed look at this project and its potential to transform Tanzania.

  • Regulatory Reform

2015 was a big year for Tanzanian oil and gas, with the election of President John Magufuli and the roll-out of the Tanzania Petroleum Act. We assess the impact of Magufuli’s early tenure on the industry and introduce the reformed constellation of actors created by the new legislation.

  • The Big Scramble

Our in-depth cover story, ‘Braced for the Big Scramble’ examines the international oil and gas operators, large and small, making moves in Tanzanian oil and gas. We look at their respective strategies, successes, and failures, to paint a detailed picture of the opportunities in Tanzania.

Energy Boardroom‘s Tanzania Oil & Gas Report features in-depth interviews with:

  • James Mataragio, TPDC
  • Jamidu Katima, EWURA
  • Øystein Michelsen, Statoil
  • Neil Ritson, Solo Oil
  • Salim Bashir, KPMG

Quotes

“We have, to date, barely explored half of the country, yet from what we have witnessed so far, the potential is absolutely enormous”

  • James Mataragio, TPDC

“We are witnessing the dawn of a brave new economic trajectory for our country. There is much to be optimistic about. The future of the Tanzanian oil and gas industry is unquestionably bright!”

  • Jamidu Katima, EWURA

“[The LNG plant project in Lindi] is emblematic of the dawning of a new era in East African gas and of the resolve to make Tanzania an important player in the gas space.”

  • Øystein Michelsen, Statoil

“There’s a real race underway to become Africa’s newest LNG exporter and each side is on the lookout for any possible advantage they can gain.”

  • Ronke Luke, Oilprice

Muhongo said that the development will assist in growing the economy at a faster pace. (Image Source: jpenrose/Pixabay)

 

The Tanzanian minister for energy and minerals, Sospeter Muhongo, has announced that the government will invest at least US$30bn for the construction of a gas processing plant in Lindi region

Speaking at the official launch of the Nanenane exhibitions in Lindi, Muhongo said the government is already embarking on the grand plan and that Lindi residents and Tanzanians in general should expect economic revolution in a few years to come.

Muhongo pointed out that for the gas plant, the government will be required to construct about 200 km of gas pipes from the sea to the plant. Given the large scale of the project, the project requires huge amount of investment, high skilled and experienced personnel as well as good supervision and is likely that it will take many years to complete.

According to the minister, upon completion of the project, the government will be able to process gas and thus boost the country’s economy.

The project is expected to increase earnings for the government through consumption of natural gas while at the same time provide opportunities to improve such sectors as health, aviation, sea ports among others.

Muhongo also added that since the discovery of natural gas in Tanzania, the economy has witnessed tremendous growth, with 70 per cent of power generation coming from gas, which is currently serving more than 30 industries in Dar es Salaam.
