Dive into Tanzania’s Offshore Potential at AOW: Energy 2025
Dar es Salam May 6th: At AOW: Energy excitement is building across the network and across the global energy sector as Tanzania commits to deliver insights into the Tanzanian 5th Oil and Gas Licensing Round. CEO of AOW: Energy Paul Sinclair made a clear state of anticipation when we spoke to him “East Africa has long been a hotspot for exploration with huge potential across the Sub-Region and it’s on and offshore. We have seen huge success in Uganda, enormous discoveries in Rovuma and Mozambique continuing its success also.
We believe Tanzania has huge potential, in fact we know Tanzania has vast potential and we continue to support its ambitions and licence round success. I commend my dear friend Charles Sangweni and the PURA team for all they are achieving and welcome them to AOW: Energy 2025”. The statement from Paul Sinclair only strengthens the exploration community’s belief that opening new frontiers for offshore exploration in one of East Africa’s most geologically diverse regions is one of huge excitement and the licence round will continue to unfold at AOW: Energy 2025.
Spearheaded by the Petroleum Upstream Regulatory Authority (PURA) and its dynamic Director General, Mr. Charles Sangweni, this round reaffirms Tanzania’s commitment to attracting world-class investors and operators to unlock its vast energy reserves.
Let’s recap why Tanzania Is a Priority Play for Upstream Investors:
Vast Offshore Potential
With 23 of the 26 blocks located offshore in the Indian Ocean, Tanzania’s sedimentary basins span from Early Cretaceous to Miocene reservoirs. This diversity provides a strong foundation for discovery-driven exploration strategies.
Proven Riches: 57+ TCF of Gas
Tanzania has already confirmed more than 57 trillion cubic feet of recoverable natural gas, with the majority of these discoveries found offshore. The scale of these resources’ positions Tanzania as a cornerstone of East Africa’s natural gas future.
Unmatched Data Access
Through a strategic partnership with TGS, PURA is offering access to over 132,000 km² of 2D and 3D seismic data. This data unlocks critical geological insights and enables prospective bidders to make informed decisions, reducing risk and improving the odds of exploration success.
Ease of Doing Business
PURA has taken bold steps to streamline investment processes, and Tanzania’s regulatory climate is now considered as strong above ground as it is beneath. This includes efficient licensing procedures and a proactive, transparent regulatory authority.
