Solo Oil signs SPA for Kiliwani North, Tanzania

Solo Oil has concluded a deal with Aminex plc to acquire a further 3.825 percent interest in Tanzania’s Kiliwani North Development License for a total cash consideration of $2.16 million. As part of the agreement, Solo’s interest will increase through three payment tranches to Aminex, linked to project milestones, for the total agreed cash consideration.

An initial investment of $566,802 for an additional one percent interest was made upon the signature of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, increasing Solo’s total interest from 6.175 percent to 7.175 percent.

A second investment of $708,502 for a further 1.25 percent interest will be made within 15 days of the first US dollar payment being received for gas from Kiliwani North-1. Solo’s total interest will increase to 8.425 following this transaction and a third payment of $892,712 will be made for the final 1.575 percent interest within 15 days of the commercial operations date being declared, taking Solo’s total and final interest to 10 percent.

If any payment is missed then that payment option, and only that option, will be automatically cancelled. Payment of the second and third investments will require further funding from cash flow or otherwise to be arranged by Solo. The KN-1 well, which is ready to begin production, has been ascribed gross contingent resources (2C) of gross 28 billion cubic feet by LR Senergy and Solo expects to book reserves from the well by year-end.

Solo Oil Chairman Neil Ritson commented in a company statement: “Solo is delighted to increase its exposure to the KNDL project with commencement of production imminent. The project offers a revenue stream that will increase through the commissioning process and into commercial production under the GSA which has take-or-pay provisions and is paid in US dollars guaranteed by a consortium of banks. By linking the acquisition of our additional interest to project milestones we have been able to further de-risk the investment.” –

Tanzania:Oil Down, Opportunities Are Up

 

1047938_560685760756522_6397019510313873266_o

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.

Tullow Oil Gives Kenya’s Oil and Gas Industry $ 150 Million Development Boost

                    A worker at the Ngamia 1 oil rig in Turkana County

Kenya’s oil and gas industry received a boost after explorer Tullow Oil said it would spend part of the Sh15 billion ($150 million) earmarked for the region on local development, even as the firm reported losses.

 

Tullow Oil said Kenya and Uganda would benefit from the expenditure, which includes coming up with a plan on how resources in the two countries can best be developed into sellable commodities.

“The draft Field Development Plan was submitted to the government of Kenya in December and will inform discussions as we progress towards potential Final Investment Decision (FID) of both the Kenya and Uganda upstream development projects in 2017,” said the company when it released its end of year results.

Tullow reported losses of Sh102 billion ($1 billion) after tax for 2015 which is an improvement from a loss of Sh158 billion ($1.55 billion) posted the year before.

The falling price of oil on the international market has been the biggest contributor to the loss.

Oil prices are at the $30 (Sh3,052) per barrel level, which is a 12-year low and has discouraged investment in exploring new territories.

Currently Tullow is drilling the Cheptuket-1 well in Kerio Valley which should be completed by February as it works on how best to utilise its other resources.

In August last year the Kenyan and Ugandan governments agreed that a pipeline would be best suited to transport oil from northern Uganda and Tullow said concerned ministries in both countries are working on the development plan.

“These conditions, which include ensuring that this is the lowest cost route, are being worked on by both governments in conjunction with the Kenyan and Uganda upstream parties,” said the explorer.

Last year, oil firms in Uganda led by Total hinted that they preferred a pipeline going through Tanzania to one going through northern Kenya.

Tullow’s partner Africa Oil is also optimistic that prices of the crucial commodity will improve and has been raising funds for further exploration on its northern Kenya and Ethiopia blocks.

“We are very pleased to have completed the Kenyan portion of our farm-out to Maersk. We feel Maersk will be an excellent partner in terms of technical and financial strength and experience critical to moving the development project forward.

“This transaction puts Africa Oil in the enviable position of not requiring any additional equity financing prior to first oil and will allow us to weather the current difficult oil price environment should it continue into 2016,” said Africa Oil chief executive Keith Hill after the firm completed selling part of its interest to Maersk.

Africa Oil received $427 million (Sh44 billion) from Maersk after selling its stakes on its northern Kenya and Ethiopia blocks.

Workers on steps at chemical plant

Oil and Gas industry is the most rewarding career rights out of the college, fresh graduates make way up $120,000 annually which is approximately 252,000,000 Tshs

Earlier last week The larger oil company( Schlumberger )which hire large share of Tanzanians exposed to cut 10,000 jobs which are similar to 25 percent of its workforce when you plus 34,000 jobs which have cut since the losing of oil price in June 2014

And the most serious details are this, The duration of this oil prices downturn is still uncertain, financial professionals say it may proceed to continue to persist until 2017 and may be beyond
How Low Oil prices are dangerous to Tanzanian Graduate and student. Here’s how
International oil organizations especially service companies(such as Schlumberger, Bake Hughes Halliburton) are the one offer many jobs To Tanzanians than you have ever regarded possible. Unfortunately enough, in respond to low oil price, these firms has decreased applicant choice process. Why? Because they cut cost.

It hurts me to say that many Tanzanian Graduates who were in need of oil and gas jobs are currently roaming in the street anticipating at some point oil will recover.

On the opposite, Tanzanian students will be affected in regards to getting industrial practical training. Because many oil organizations would wait for around cost-effective commitment venture in Tanzania that will require much time to accomplish instead would go to accomplish projects that have less technological threat and it might take the more lightweight period of time.

Who would offer you in Mtwara for industrial practical training verifying problem no oil organization working there?
