What happened
Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation received four petroleum exploration licenses covering Eyasi-Wembere, Lindi-Mtwara, West Songo Songo, and Mnazi Bay North. The licenses followed the announcement of a gas discovery at the Mnazi Bay field in Mtwara Region, made at the Kasa-1X exploration well drilled by Maurel & Prom and TPDC. The government estimates the discovery at 223 Bcf, while Maurel & Prom provided a preliminary estimate of about 200 Bcf.
Why it matters
The discovery adds significantly to Tanzania’s total gas resources, which are estimated at 57.5 Tcf. The government stated that these developments aim to strengthen domestic energy security, increase natural gas production, and create opportunities for investment and industrial development. Maurel & Prom now holds 60% of the Mnazi Bay venture, with TPDC holding 40%.
