Aminex plc has submitted its development plan for the Ntorya field, located onshore Tanzania’s Ruvuma Basin, to state-run oil and gas firm TPDC for approval. The company said the development plan is a key step towards obtaining a development license and the commercialization of the resources from the Ntorya appraisal area.
The development plan, which incorporates the findings from io oil and gas consulting’s Gas Commercialization Study, is a comprehensive review of the existing data and includes the findings of recent mapping and the upgraded unrisked resource estimates of approximately 1.3 TcfPmean GIIP.
It also takes into account several options for gas monetization including CNG, gas-to-power, and directly connecting the gas produced from the Ntorya field to the Madimba Plant in south-eastern Tanzania via an approx. 35 km spur line. The company has applied for a staged development of the field to allow for an early production system with existing wells and a program that drills further development wells based on demand.
