Another story on BP in tanzania

http://oilprice.com/Energy/Natural-Gas/BP-Makes-Play-for-Tanzanian-Gas-Assets.html

Tanzania is such a hot place for gas these days that even oil-focused major BP Plc (NYSE: BP) is being lured to the East African country to invest in natural gas exploration.

In late February, BP execs descended on Tanzania with a request to pursue natural gas investments and try their luck in a venue that has become one of the biggest gems in the region.

Tanzania is open to the request, of course, but made it clear that the competition is pretty high. Total SA of France is also in line for Tanzanian gas exploration license. Norway’s Statoil is also shopping in Tanzania.

Recent offshore discoveries of some 33 trillion cubic feet of gas put Tanzania on the map, and the risk is relatively low. Tanzania has a natural gas processing plant on Songo Songo Island, with a 70 million cubic feet/day capacity. It is also planning an LNG terminal.

Tanzania is already using some of its natural gas to produce electricity and to power industries. Between 420 and 450 MW of electricity in the country is generated by natural gas while the actual installed capacity for gas-to-electricity generation stands at 575.5MW.

Tanzania has started putting up the infrastructure for commercial distribution of natural gas, including signing of US$1.2 billion loan agreement with China for construction of a 532km pipeline from Mtwara to Dar es Salaam. The World bank suggests that the gas could boost the country's exports by as much as 3 billion US dollars a year, once the gas comes on stream.

Tanzania is also in the process of restructuring its state-run petroleum regulator and put a gas policy in place soon.

London- based BP Plc (BP/) is doubling exploration drilling this year and is stepping up spending on projects in Angola, the North Sea and the Gulf of Mexico.

Thanks for that update

Ruvuma Farm-out Update


Aminex PLC, ('Aminex'), a London and Dublin premium-listed oil and gas company with assets in the emerging hydrocarbon province of East Africa, announces that it has extended the bidding period for its proposed farm-out of an interest in the onshore Ruvuma Basin, Tanzania, where it made a discovery of natural gas and condensate in 2012. This extension is being made at the request of several interested parties which have already visited the data room. The bidding process is now likely to be completed in March and the market will be updated in due course. Aminex has a 75% interest in the Ruvuma Production Sharing Contract and the remaining 25% is held by Solo Oil PLC.



Aminex Chairman, Brian Hall, commented: "We are very pleased with the strong interest shown in our Ruvuma PSA and have decided to keep the farm-out process open for longer than originally anticipated to accommodate a number of interested parties. I look forward to updating the market in due course."

if this is LNG, then watch out as there are grave problems with the proposed Lindi development and even doubts that there will be the money for it to be constructed at all

By Malcolm Graham-Wood | Mon, 27th June 2016

More good news today from Aminex (AEX), which is slowly but surely proving the pessimists wrong and building a decent business in Tanzania. It has announced a one-year extension of the Mtwara licence in the Ruvuma PSC, which was due to expire in December this year.

Secondly, the company has, with the support of the Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation, transferred drilling obligations in North Lindi to the southern Mtwara licence, which contains the Ntorya discovery.

After drilling the Ntorya-2 appraisal well and depending on success, the company plans to apply for a 25-year development licence. Finally, the company has received an 18-month loan extension with no change to its terms

heaven forfend that i should be the harbinger of gloom, and suggest you go to ippmedia.com and search "Lindi"

Well planning and design for the Ntorya-2 and Ntorya-3 wells are being conducted by Norwell Engineering Ltd and operationally the Company remains on track to spud Ntorya-2 during the Q4 2016.
