Aminex and Solo Oil are one step closer to first gas from its Kiliwanit North Development.
The site’s well integrity tests have been concluded and the Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation (TPDC) has provided a revised work schedule. First gas from the Songo Songo Island gas plant is expected in early April.
Aminex chief executive Jay Bhattacherjee said: “The successful conclusion of the well integrity tests and installation of the wellhead control panel finalises the Company’s preparations prior to the commissioning of the new Songo Songo Island processing facilities. Aminex looks forward to the commencement of gas production and revenues from Kiliwani North.”
Solo Oil chairman Neil Ritson added: “Following the signing of the gas sales agreement and the completion of the construction of pipeline and gas treatment infrastructure Solo looks forward to the commencement of commissioning at Songo Songo. Kiliwani North gas will go to the Dar es Salaam market and the KNDL partners will be paid for all production in US Dollars at a rate of $3 per million BTU.”
