Tanzania says it has added to its natural gas bounty with a new discovery. According to the Energy and Minerals Minister, Sospeter Muhongo, an additional 2.17 Tcf has been discovered, this time onshore.
Local media reported that Muhongo said that the onshore discovery had been made in July, although the official announcement was delayed due to the political transition, as well as the oil and gas revenues management Act 2015 not being operational. The Minister said the discovery was made at the Ruvu Basin onshore block by the Dodsal Group.
“We have learnt that there are huge potentials of hydrocarbons in Tanzania. We expect to have more gas discoveries in the near future,” Dodsal Hydrocarbons and Power (Tanzania) Ltd. said.
The discovery made by Dodsal onshore Tanzania adds to the reserves discovered offshore the country by BG/Ophir Energy and Statoil/ExxonMobil.
