Tanzania: BG Group Upgrades Ngisi Gas Discovery

4 JULY 2013

AFRICA-FOCUSED Ophir Energy announced Wednesday that the Ngisi-1 appraisal well, operated by BG Group, has successfully found further gas pay in Block 4, offshore Tanzania.

The Ngisi-1 well was drilled by the Deepsea Metro 1 (UDW drillship) approximately three miles northeast of the Chewa- 1 well. The Ngisi-1 well was designed to appraise the Chewa gas discovery drilled in 2010 and to penetrate the Ngisi exploration prospect.

Ophir reported that gas pay was encountered in the Ngisi prospect within a high net-togross reservoir interval, while penetration into the Chewa reservoir also encountered gas pay as predicted and confirmed widespread, excellent reservoir characteristics.

As a result, said Ophir, the mean recoverable resources of the Chewa-Pweza-Ngisi hub has been increased from 3.7 trillion cubic feet to 4.5 tcf. Ophir added that the drilling result has also further demonstrated the feasibility of drilling highly-deviated wells, which will be incorporated into development planning of the assets.

Ophir and BG Group successfully drilled their first deviated well in December 2012 in the Jodari Field. Ophir CEO Nick Cooper commented in a company statement: "The successful Ngisi drilling results provide critical mass for the aggregation and development of the gas discoveries in Block 4.

These will be piped ashore and combined with the Block 1 resources for Tanzania's LNG development." The Deepsea Metro 1 drillship will now drill the Mkizi- 1 exploration well in Block 1. Mkizi is a 0.6 tcf prospect of Tertiary age.

Mkuu, Chewa-Pweza-Ngisi iko wapi?

Kuna jamaa ananiambia kuwa usikute hawa jamaa washaanza chimba ata Mafuta ila wanazuga wako kwenye utafiti wa GAS.
Na mimeli yao mikubwa kama kisiwa anything can be happening nyuma ya PAZIA

Nilitaka kuuliza hivi huku kote kulikogunduliwa gesi bado mafuta? Geography yangu inanikumbusha kuwa gesi hukaa juu ya mafuta. Sasa mafuta vipi, mbona hakuna kinachozungumziwa?

Kwani mabomba ya gesi hayajaanza kulazwa chini kuelekea DSM?

Mwalimu wetu ili tusije sahau aliwai tuambia ni kama ukikata dafu inatoka GAS then ndo unaanza kuzila zile nyama.
Hawa jamaa wako busy na kuongelea has ilo la WESE wako kimya usikute tunapgwa maana ndo utaratibu wa mabepari huo

Most likely. Sasa nani atafanya uchunguzi ili atujuze?

Kuna mtu mmoja kutoka Mtwara alisema kuwa watu wanakatazwa kutembea usiku ili walaze hayo mabomba. I don't know how true can be.

Njowepo,

..mimi siyo mjuzi wa haya masuala.

..lakini kwa hapa tulipofikia hii gesi tunaweza kuitumia kwa muda gani?

..zaidi, kwanini tusisimamishe huu utafiti, ili tujenge uwezo kwa mapato ya gesi ambayo imeshagunduliwa, ili miaka michache ijayo tuweza kutafita, kuchimba, na kuuza sisi wenyewe??

..nini hasara na faida za kuchukua uamuzi kama huo??

..U know, I keep thinking lini TPDC, STAMICO, Tanesco, watatoka hapa Tanzania na kwenda kutafiti gesi, mafuta, dhahabu, etc etc ktk mataifa mengine?? Lini haya makampuni yetu yatakuwa multi-national corporation??

..ikishindikana at least tuweze kuwa na uwezo wa kuchimba haya madini sisi wenyewe.

..WHAT R WE SUPPOSED TO DO??

Pinda alisema watanzania tutanufaika na hiyo gas baada ya miaka 25. Tanzania ni zaidi ya tuijuavyo

Kwa Tanzania kila kitu kinawezekana na viongozi wetu ni hatari kuliko Mamba. Hawaaminiki katu. Mimi naamini ile mijimeli mikubwa mikubwa inabeba wese na si ajabu jamaa wanajua vema. Siku hizi teknolojia imekuwa simple sana. Pesa za uchaguzi ninatoka hapa hapa kwenye rasilimali zetu. Baadae ukiwabana watasema yalikuwa yanachukuliwa kwa ajili ya kufanyiwa utafiti. Jamani hawa jamaa si watu tuamke na bahati mbaya kwa sasa wametuweka bize kwa kuwapiga wapinzani mabomu wasitambue mambo mengine yanayoendelea. Hii ni mikakati tu! Inawezekana
