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
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
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.
