DAR ES SALAAM - Construction of a pipeline connecting Tanzania’s Ntorya gas field to the Madimba gas processing plant will begin this month, with completion scheduled for July 2026, Aminex PLC announced Thursday.
The Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation (TPDC) formally notified the field operator, ARA Petroleum Tanzania Limited (APT), about the pipeline construction timeline last week, according to a company press release. The Ntorya-2 well is expected to provide gas once the pipeline is commissioned.
Additionally, APT presented a tender strategy to the Petroleum Upstream Regulatory Authority (PURA) earlier this week for contracting a rig to drill the Chikumbi-1 well and perform workover operations on the Ntorya-1 well. Once PURA approves the strategy, APT plans to issue the rig tender and other necessary service tenders by mid-August 2025.
Aminex holds a 25% non-operated interest in the Ntorya Development Licence area, which is located near major LNG projects extending from offshore Tanzania into Mozambique waters. The company is carried through the ongoing work program to a maximum gross capital expenditure of $140 million ($35 million net to Aminex), covering costs until commercial gas production begins.
The joint venture partners plan to direct Ntorya gas to Tanzania’s domestic market. Charles Santos, Executive Chairman of Aminex, stated that "gas from the first phase of development will be staying in Tanzania to help power homes, boost industrial development and the regional economy and replace dirtier fuels."
