Sasol Spuds Third Well in Mozambican Program

Wednesday, November 9, 2016

Sasol has begun drilling a third well in Mozambique under its PSA with the Mozambican authorities. The well is part of the first phase of the Sasol’s field development plan which includes the delineation and initial development of the Temane G8, Temane East, Inhassoro G6, and Inhassoro G10 reservoirs. In total, the company will drill 13 wells during the initial phase. The second-phase program will depend on the results of the first.

Once commercial gas reserves are proven, they will initially be fed to a 400-MW gas-to-power plant to serve southern Mozambique, in a joint venture with the government. The rest of the gas would be sold into the best market. The oil could be either processed and used within Mozambique or exported.

In addition, Sasol is commissioning the $210-million Loop Line 2 project to expand the capacity of the gas pipeline between South Africa and Mozambique.
