NAIROBI – Tanzania plans to offer seven deep offshore blocks and one onshore block in October for oil and gas exploration, state-run Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation (TPDC) said, in a region that has become a hotbed for gas discoveries.
TPDC said in an undated notice on its website that the round was a revival of an auction that was slated for September 2012 but then postponed as Tanzania formulated a new oil and gas policy.
Gas strikes off east Africa’s seaboard have led to predictions the region could become the world’s third-largest exporter of natural gas.
Tanzania, east Africa’s second-biggest economy, estimates it holds over 33 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of recoverable natural gas reserves.
London-listed BG Group and its partner Ophir Energy and Norway’s Statoil and partner ExxonMobil are the latest to strike to gas off Tanzania’s shores.
TPDC said the seven deep offshore blocks – Block 4/2A, Block 4/3A, Block 4/3B, Block 4/4A, Block 4/5B, Block 4/5A and Block 4/5B – have areas of approximately 3000 square km each and are located in waters up to 3,000 metres deep.
The regulator said another two offshore blocks – Block 4/1B and Block 4/1C – would be reserved for the government, which will later seek strategic partners.
The onshore block is North Lake Tanganyika, located on the Tanzanian side of Lake Tanganyika.
The round will be launched on October 25 and will run until May 15, 2014.(Reuters)

Jee watu wa Mtwara wako right kupigania kupata percentage ya rasilimali ya uchimbaji wa mafuta katika eneo lao? kwamtizamo wangu wanayo haki hio, kwani katika nchi nyingi zenye mineral hufanya hivyo kutowa percentage Fulani kwa eneo lenye machimbo. Lakini hapa kwetu Tanzania wafaidikaji wakubwa ni Wageni kwa % 90 na % 10 ni vigogo wenye kuweka pesa huko kwa huko u-Swiss. Ile kusema Mh Kikwete/ Pinda kuwa hatuwezi kutowa percentage na tukawapa Wamtwara kwa vile Rasilimali za Tanzania ni za Watanzania wote. Huu ni uongo wa Watawala ingekuwa angalau ni hivyo kuwa rasilimali za Tanzania zinawanufaisha watanzania wote bila kujali rasilimali hizo zinatolewa eneo Fulani ingekuwa uzuri na sizani kuwa Wamtwara wangekuja juu?. lakini rasilimali zote za nchi huliwa na Wageni wasio Watanzania kwa % kubwa na hicho kidogo hutumbukizwa katika A/c za vigogo U-Swiss. kwahio Tanzania hujengwa na Watanzania lakini huliwa na wenye meno.

Kakke nadhani waliokutuma wameahidi tu kukupa pesa lakini isije kuwa unafanya biashara ya mali kauli. Onayoyaandika hapa ni uchochezi usiku na maana kwani issue ishaeleweka na mradi unaendelea wakati huohuo wawekezaji zaidi wa viwanda wanaingia Mtwara ni nini zaidi unachokitaka au unachotaka wana Mtwara wafaidi zaidi ya ajira ambayo itawasaidia kupata kuinua uchumi wao na kusomesha watoto ambao ndio uwekezaji mzuri zaidi. Wakiizuia gesi hawataila na kushiba
