Uliasisiwa mchakato wa kitalu cha Ruvuma - Mtwara
23 October 2020
Ruvuma PSA consists of two blocks, Mtwara and Lindi, and is spread over an area of 6,079 sq km. About 80% of the area is onshore, while the remaining 20% is offshore. Exploration and appraisal have been ongoing since 2005.
Over the past 12 months, Aminex has obtained a $3 million advance and $2 million loan from ARA Petroleum LLC (ARA), which has now been repaid by means of a $5 million cash consideration payable on completion of the farm-out. The security over the advance, loan, and associated interest put in place by Aminex will be released and discharged.
The farm-out includes full carry for a minimum work program, including drilling and testing of the Chikumbi-1 well, acquisition of 3D seismic over a minimum of 200 sq km within the Ntorya area, and further production wells and infrastructure as required to increase estimated P50 production to about 140 MMcfd (gross project levels).
APT now owns 75% of the PSA and is operator. Aminex holds the remaining 25%.

Wentworth Resources to Acquire 25% in Ruvuma Gas Asste for USD 16 Million JUNE 28, 2022 3 MINUTE
READ Natural gas production company Wentworth Resources has recently announced that it has reached an agreement with Scirocco Energy to acquire its non-operated working interest in the Ruvuma gas asset in Tanzania.
Ruvuma Gas Asset Scirocco Energy holds a 25% working interest in the Ruvuma Petroleum Sharing Agreement (PSA) in southeast Tanzania covering an area of 3,447 km2 of which approximately 90% lies onshore and the rest offshore where very substantial gas discoveries have been made offshore in recent years.
Gas has also been discovered onshore and along the coastal islands at Ntorya, Mnazi Bay, Kiliwani North, and Songo-Songo. The Ruvuma PSA was granted in 2005. The original PSA comprised two licences, Lindi and Mtwara, and covered an area of over 6,079 square km, around 80% of which is onshore, in the Ruvuma Basin.
Following several statutory relinquishments, the Ruvuma PSA is now composed of only the Mtwara Licence which contains the Ntorya Appraisal Area over the Ntorya gas condensate discovery. The Ntorya gas-condensate discovery, made in 2012 and operated by Aminex, represents the most immediate commercialization opportunity in the Ruvuma PSA.
The project is ideally located with access to a major onshore gas pipeline that connects the Ruvuma PSA to Tanzania’s main economic center, Dar es Salaam, allowing for the commercialization of gas from Ntorya.
A work program for Ruvuma is in place that will target a plateau rate of 140MMcf/d of gas from the Ntorya field. Scirocco has been through a period of consolidation and rationalization of its historic portfolio to focus on its core natural gas and helium assets in East Africa. The company is focused on growing its portfolio in the European energy market.
RELATED: Equinor Shell and Tanzania Sign Framework Agreement for LNG Plant Wentworth Resources is a leading domestic natural gas producer in Tanzania and is currently the only onshore domestic gas license with the Tanzanian government as a partner.
The company holds a 31.94% stake in the Mnazi Bay Gas Development adjacent to Ruvuma. The asset is operated by Maurel & Prom which holds a 48.06% stake, with the Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation (TPDC) holding 20%.
