Tanzania, the future LNG exporter, and neighbour Uganda are making progress on oil and natural gas projects and the first shipment of 100 kilometres of line pipe as just arrived at the Tanzanian Port of Dar es Salaam, signalling the start of the main construction phase for the region’s first major cross-border pipeline project.
Expro Group Holdings, the global energy services provider, has been awarded a five-year well intervention and integrity contract with French major TotalEnergies in the East African nation of Uganda and covering the multi-well Tilenga project.
The East African nation of Tanzania said it signed a framework agreement with Norwegian energy major Equinor and UK-based Shell to intensify studies on a new LNG export project.
Equinor of Norway, the largest natural gas producer in Western European fields, said it was selling its assets in the oil-rich Bakken shale formation in the US states of North Dakota and Montana as it reported quarterly and annual losses and wrote-down assets by almost $1 billion on the Tanzania LNG project.
