Could Tanzania’s Gas Lift Citizens Out Of Poverty

/in /by

power

Across Tanzania, the abundant natural gas  is underway. New exploration, new discovery. And Tanzania’s gas have become a powerful magnet for foreign investment. Luck has definitely struck Tanzania. And this represents huge opportunities to improve citizens’ lives.

Tanzania is poised to emerge as a major exporter of natural gas. And the bottom line is that, the region surrounded by countries with heavy energy needs. It is indefensible that Tanzania stands to harvest abundance from its natural gas.

But How can natural gas resources contribute to general citizen uplift and power economic growth.

Natural gas means solving energy’s problem. Electricity to everyone. And clean cooking facilities that  do not pollute household  and change climate through deforestation.

Writer’s recommendation to transform new found resources wealth into permanent breakthrough in human development.

Strengthen transparency.
Transparency is good for business. It reduces opportunities for corruption. Build trust with local communities. And encourage both companies and citizens that system is fair.It encourages long term success because it show companies have nothing to hide and the deal is fair.
Create More Jobs
In reality, oil, gas and mining create a small share of jobs because it is capital intensive. But generate employment is critical issue for Tanzania to reduce jobless growth especially youth unemployment. And bring hope to the future generation. Country could not sustain growth while extractive and exploration projects operate within our border without value added
Tax avoidance:
Either from oil majors or foreign investment. But to tackle tax avoidance is vital as it reduces the loss of money and citizens see the benefit

Conclusion

We have all seen in New petroleum act, Government, requires extractive companies to procure goods and services locally. And commitment from multinational to contribute to society and infrastructure improvement.

In Essence the government cannot resolve all of these challenges on their own, private sectors and stakeholders must also shoulder responsibility.

Managing Gas and Minerals In Tanzania

/in /by

Our concern is not only letting the world understand the huge potential of Africa’s oil, gas and minerals, but also of how to harness them to lift millions of Africans out o poverty.

With limited technical and regulating capacity and weak checks and balances, resource windfalls can act as a catalyst for corruption.
This is why Tanzania Petroleum as a stakeholder in extractive industries, hails EITI’s “Reports to Results”.
This document has helped our focus on highlighting the issues of trust, informed public debate and building better systems and policies.

The milestone is when all countries are obliged to disclose full information about payments broken down by company and revenue stream.

A majority of the reporting companies provide information on production and licenses, which are the underlying components of the companies’ payments.

The latest Reports pay more attention to the disclosure of beneficial ownership.It will be required that all countries made ownership transparent.This is very important especially to the public as it will highlight who stands behind the companies.

Opening up data to a wider audience.Summary data submission and electronic disclosure have improved, making extractive industry data available for further analysis.

Disclosing it as ‘open data’ online enables new groups of users to monitor the use of their country’s natural resources
Ghana; More revenue through fiscal reforms.Ghana’s EITI Report for 2014 shows that revenue reached a record high of USD 1.3 billion with about 75% of extractive sector revenue coming from oil and gas.

Mozambique’s 2013-2014 report captures for the first time revenue transfers from the central government to communities where mining and gas projects are located.

Tanzania in 2013/14 revenue increased by 28% from extractives despite low commodity prices.

Generally, we hail all the efforts towards informing better policies in the extractive sector.
Digging down-disclosure and dialogue at the subnational and local level.

Transparency in commodity trading.
The country experiences of integrating transparency in government and company systems.
Using the information to improve artisanal and small-scale mining sector.
In the end, our goal is to make the most from the extractive sector.

Tanzania:Oil Down, Opportunities Are Up

/in /by

The oil price has been falling since  June 2014. And it continues to hit new bottom every day.

Recent global oil price drop   sign several years of $ 100 per barrel which has led to massive oil production coming online  and supply exceed demand. The low demand is the result of the slowdown in  China’s  economic  activities .And rapid increase in a number of shale wells in the US thanks to  technology’s improvement.

The price slump  hurt exporting countries but for Tanzania as an importer, it  brings prosperity.

In the positive sense,

Cheap price  minimizes the living costs. And  Tanzanians are more likely to use  kerosene, diesel and cooking  gas in place of firewood and charcoal that are popular with low-income earners.

However, it  reduces  transportation costs. Less costly  foods.  And low living costs for average Tanzanians.

Most importantly, production costs decrease. Many people available globally at low  costs than ever. Pipelines firms are in need of work. Major construction organizations  have little tasks.So the project should get low investment  costs than similar projects from 2-3 years in the past.

In the context of low price, upstream activities are decreased and there’ll be easy availability of  drilling rigs  and other supporting activities with cheap costs.

 

In the negative side.

Undermine investment: Exploration  and production companies cut  costs range. So, going into the new finding works won’t be of interest in their strategy. And they’ll  be wanting to postpone important investment project, which will take years to show valuable earnings.  If the project has a risk, It might be better to get the same cash in a known project field, than try to create in a new, unknown field  with lots of business risks.

However, some exploration and production companies  such as BG and Swala energy claim that the drop in costs is a short-term issue and won’t considerably impact their  investment plan in Tanzania.

Australia based  oil and gas exploration firm  (Swala energy) lately stated that it’ll continue with its exploration projects across Tanzania in 2016 despite the fall in oil price. Also low-level prices are damaging Tanzanian  Graduates who strategy career in oil and gas sector. Sadly,  Tanzanians  get laid off as the  oil firm’s strategies  to deal with a price drop.

Conclusion

The price has fallen dramatically and some supply  will go off-line finishing the gap until the price improves again. But the time of that process is incredibly uncertain and is expected  to persist in 2016 and maybe beyond. But for policymakers in Tanzania, the fall in oil price provides a period to execute economic plan and structural changes as well as finance social program.

Tanzania Agrees With Uganda to Run Oil Pipeline to Its Coast

/in , /by

11791424644_a70189e37f

Tanzania and Uganda’s leaders agreed to build a crude pipeline linking their countries, connecting landlocked oilfields to the Indian Ocean, Tanzanian President John Magufuli said.

Statements issued after Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni and his Tanzanian counterpart John Magufuli met on Tuesday did not mention the fate of the Kenyan oil export pipeline plan.

Uganda, which has yet to start oil production, raised the possibility of a Tanzanian pipeline route last year.

France’s Total, one of the oil firms developing Uganda’s fields, had raised security concerns about the Kenyan route. A Kenyan pipeline could run near Somalia, from where militants have launched attacks on Kenya.

But industry officials have also said connecting Kenyan fields, which are also yet to start production, with those in Uganda would make the pipeline project cheaper as costs would be shared.

“The two countries are planning to build an oil pipeline between Tanga (in Tanzania) and Uganda covering a distance of 1,120 km,” the Ugandan presidency said in its statement. “Magufuli said this is projected to employ 15,000 people.”

Tanzania, which also has large offshore natural gas reserves, issued a similar statement.

Uganda’s Museveni has strong ties with Tanzania as he launched the rebellion that brought him to power in 1986 from Tanzanian soil.

Uganda’s statement quoted Magufuli saying that Uganda’s decision was “reciprocating” Tanzania’s past role.

Museveni and Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta had made a joint call in August to implement a pipeline via Kenya’s northern region “without further delay”.

But that statement was followed by other Ugandan comments saying the Tanzanian route was being explored as a possibility.

Resolving the pipeline route is vital in helping oil firms involved in Uganda and Kenya make a final investment decision on developing oil fields.

Production start dates have repeatedly been postponed, partly over pipeline considerations but also because of low oil prices.

Other investors in Uganda include China’s CNOOC and Britain’s Tullow Oil. Tullow is also is working in Kenya.

Tanzania Make New Natural Gas Discovery In Ruvu Basin

/in , /by

Feb 25 Tanzania has discovered an additional 2.17 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of possible natural gas deposits, raising the east African nation’s total estimated recoverable natural gas reserves to more than 57 tcf.

The onshore reserves were found at a field licensed to the United Arab Emirates’ Dodsal Group located at Ruvu basin in Coast region, near the country’s commercial capital..

“We have learnt that there are huge potentials of hydrocarbons in Tanzania. We expect to have more gas discoveries in the near future,”  CEO of Dodsal Hydrocarbons and Power (Tanzania) Ltd, as saying.

East Africa is a new hotspot in hydrocarbon exploration after substantial deposits of oil were found in Uganda and major gas reserves discovered in Tanzania and Mozambique.

Dodsal Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Mr P.K Surendran made the announcement during a meeting bringing together investors in the gas and oil industry, which was convened by the Minister for Energy and Minerals, Professor Sospeter Muhongo.

Prof Muhongo confirmed the discovery, which he said was made in July last year, but was quick to add that the government delayed to make the announcement due to new requirements of the Petroleum Act 2015.

“The new legislation requires that before the responsible minister makes the pronouncement of a new finding he/she should be guided by the Petroleum Upstream Regulatory Authority (PURA).

“My ministry has been in contact with the Attorney General’s Chambers since then and the good thing is that PURA started operations yesterday (Tuesday).

We, therefore, hope that the official announcement will be made in a few days to come,” Prof Muhongo explained. The Petroleum Act 2015 repealed The Petroleum (Exploration and Productions) Act, 1980 and The Petroleum Act, 2008.

Apart from the new finding, gas reserves have as well been discovered in Songo Songo Island in Lindi Region, Mnazi Bay in Mtwara and Mkuranga in Coast Region.

Mr Surendran said the company signed a Petroleum Sharing Agreement (PSA) with the Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation (TPDC) in 2007 after which it started a seismic study of the licensed block. Dodsal Hydrocarbons and Power Tanzania Limited is a subsidiary of Dodsal Resources based in Dubai.

So far, the firm has drilled three wells at Mbuyu, Mtini and Mambokofi in the exploration area in Coast Region. “Exploration is still ongoing and we are optimistic of striking more natural gas reserves in the Ruvu Block.

We used local talents and resources in the search and the success is beyond our expectations,” he later told ‘Daily News’ on the sidelines of the meeting.

He was more positive of reliable market for the hydrocarbons given the fact that Ruvu is just 17 kilometres away from Dar es Salaam city, which is the major market of the resource for electricity generation, industrial production and domestic use.

The Chairman of Dodsal Group, Dr Rajen Kilachand, said the company is currently planning appraisal and development activities to bring the gas to the market for the benefit of the people.

“At this moment of success, I wish to sincerely thank the Ministry of Energy and Minerals and TPDC as well as other stakeholders for the cooperation and support rendered to us,” Dr Kilachand said in a statement read by the CEO.

Earlier, Prof Muhongo directed companies engaged in the oil and gas industry to present to the ministry with practical work plans on how they will play a part in boosting power generation to meet the target of 10,000MW by 2025.

“The gas economy should make us graduate to middle-income economy by 2025 as stipulated in Tanzania Development Vision 2025. This will be possible when we have adequate and reliable electricity in the economy,” the minister stressed.

He thus urged the companies to present the plans to the ministry by June 1 this year, noting that the aim is to enhance power per capital to between 2,000 and 3,000 per annum from the current 180 units.

Prof Muhongo noted on the other hand discussions with a consortium planning to set up the 60 billion US dollars were well underway

Most of the gas discoveries in Tanzania were made in deep-sea offshore blocks south of the country near the site of a planned liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant.

BG Group, acquired by Royal Dutch Shell, along with Statoil, Exxon Mobil and Ophir Energy plan to build the onshore LNG export terminal in the southern Tanzanian town of Lindi in partnership with state-run Tanzania Petroleum Development Corp (TPDC).
