Statoil: Tanzania find has up to 5 trillion cubic feet of gas

Baada ya serikali kuanza kusomesha wataalamu local wa Mafuta inaficha kila kitu
 
Sasa kama dhahabu twaambulia mashimo ilo wese naona tutaambulia kupigana tuu!
Nao hao jamaa wakishapata wese wako tayari ata kumuweka raisi wamtakae tena wanaweza join up hands na Barrick.
EEE MOLA LISAIDIE TAIFA LAKO HILI!
 
In organic chemistry, a hydrocarbon is an organic compound consisting entirely of hydrogen and carbon.[1] Hydrocarbons from which one hydrogen atom has been removed are functional groups, called hydrocarbyls.[2] Aromatic hydrocarbons (arenes), alkanes, alkenes, cycloalkanes and alkyne-based compounds are different types of hydrocarbons.

The majority of hydrocarbons found naturally occur in crude oil, where decomposed organic matter provides an abundance of carbon and hydrogen which, when bonded, can catenate to form seemingly limitless chains.

Feb 24 (Reuters) - Norwegian oil firm Statoil said its recent gas discovery off the coast of Tanzania has so far proven to hold up to 5 trillion cubic feet of gas, the firm said on Friday. "The well has encountered 120 metres of excellent quality reservoir with high porosity and high permeability. The gas-water contact has not been established and drilling operations are on-going," Statoil said in a statement.
The company first announced the discovery on Feb. 17 but said it was too early to discuss the size of the find.

Statoil Largest Tanzania Discovery May Hold Oil, Opens New Play

By Eduard Gismatullin and Brian Swint - Feb 24, 2012
Statoil ASA (STL) and Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM)'s largest gas discovery off Tanzania may hold crude oil or natural-gas liquids, opening a new "play" in East Africa, Norway's biggest oil producer said.
The partners have drilled the Zafarani exploration well in Block 2, discovering at least 5 trillion cubic feet of dry gas, Statoil said today in a statement. The discovery could be worth $1.2 billion, said Theepan Jothilingam, an analyst at Nomura Holdings Inc.
"We think it's a different play, a different age reservoir compared to what's been proven" in Tanzania and Mozambique so far, Statoil Executive Vice President for Exploration Tim Dodson said in a phone interview. "It's probably an older reservoir than the other discoveries." Statoil plans to deepen the well by "several hundred meters" to test if "there could be some liquid potential as well," Dodson said.
Statoil, based in Stavanger, Norway, plans to focus on exploration off Tanzania and Mozambique, where BG Group Plc (BG/), Eni SpA (ENI) and Anadarko Petroleum Corp. (APC) found more than 70 trillion cubic feet of gas. The Norwegian company is joining the race for gas in East Africa so it can be turned into liquid and shipped to China and India, the world's fastest-growing major economies.
"The Zafarani discovery should be seen as a play-opening well for Statoil in East Africa," Jothilingam wrote in an e- mailed report. He based his discovery valuation on Royal Dutch Shell Plc's $1.6 billion bid this week for Mozambique-focused Cove Energy Plc. (COV) "There is a risk of larger resource numbers" at Zafarani, he said.
Next Target

Statoil operates the license on Block 2 on behalf of Tanzania Petroleum Development Corp. (PETD) and has a 65 percent interest. Exxon holds the remaining 35 percent. TPDC has the right to a 10 percent working interest if the project moves to development.
After completing Zafarani, Statoil plans to move the rig to drill the Lavani prospect in Block 2, the company said. It also plans to drill its first well in the Rovuma basin off Mozambique in early 2013.
Lavani has "quite an interesting potential as well, maybe not quite as much as the Zafarani structure, but quite significant volumes there as well," Dodson said. "East Africa is a hotspot for exploration."
Statoil plans to invest $3 billion in exploration worldwide this year, he said.
The company's shares rose 2 percent, the biggest intraday gain since Feb. 9, to 158.1 kroner by 1:20 p.m. in Oslo.

duu sie zetu kusindikiza tu watu washachukua chao bado wengine tunambwela tu..
 
Kama tungekuwa na viongozi wenye uchungu wa kutaka maendeleo nchini na kutokomeza umaskini unaoitafuna nchi yetu basi hili lilikuwa ni bonge la dili. Hawa StatOil ambao wanatoka Norway (si wezi kama Wa-Kanada), huko kwao sheria ni kwamba akija mwekezaji katika mafuta (kwa maana wana mafuta), mwekezaji anachukua asilimia 49 na serikali inachukua asilimia 51. Kwa maana hiyo kama tungetumia hayo makubalianao wanayoyatumia huko kwao basi tungeweza kuondokana kabisa na utegemezi wa wahisani na nchi yetu kupata maenelao kwa kasi.
 
The statistic could be more than what STATOIL have revealed.They will benefit for sure. The question is, HOW IS OUR NATION GOING TO BENEFIT FROM THE FIND? No wonder Europeans call our President stupid. With all this wealth why does he have to go and ask for donations? Let us make sure that this time whatever resources that are discovered should be utilised to benefit the masses and not just a few MAFISADI.

Let's hope this Black Gold will not be squandered like the Yellow Gold. Let's make sure this is not a curse like it is in many African countries. For this to happen there must be a new Kenya style constitution for checks and balances

Good luck to you guys....i hope they never ever discover that stuff in my country kenya.....
 
Ingawa habari hii ni nzuri lakini inabidi Tanzania ichunge sana. Statoil (Norway) ni kampuni ambayo imehusishwa na hujuma za rushwa kila ilipotia kambi barani Africa, kwa mfano Angola na Nigeria. Sintoshangaa kama kutatokea skandali itakayohusisha hiyo kampuni, kwa sababu utamaduni wa ufisadi umeota mizizi mirefu sana bongo!

Norwegian oil group Statoil and US company ExxonMobil have together discovered a large natural gas field off the coast of Tanzania, Statoil announced on Friday.
The field's gas reserves are estimated at about 140 billion cubic metres, it said.The size of the deposit could turn out to be bigger, since the field's exact contours have not yet been fully determined and exploratory drilling is still underway, Statoil spokesman Bård Glad Pedersen told AFP."The well has encountered 120 metres of excellent quality reservoir with high porosity and high permeability. The gas-water contact has not been established and drilling operations are on-going," the company said in a statement.This is Statoil's fifth major oil or gas discovery in the past year, after large fields were found in the North and Barents seas and off of Brazil.Statoil, which holds the operating licence off Tanzania, owns 65 percent of the field and ExxonMobil 35 percent. Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation will be entitled to 10 percent of the project once it enters into operation, Statoil said.

Kama utaweza kuupata huo mkataba mkuu ni vyema ukauweka hapa ili na sisi tupate nafasi ya kuupitia.

Kwa sababu ya ufisadi, mikataba hiyo ya gesi na wawekezaji itafanyika kimya kimya! Pamoja na utajiri wa namna hiyo, bado watanzania watabaki maskini!
 
Mungu ibariki Tanzania...naomba Mungu tugundue mafuta na sie..
