Solo Oil has completed a pipeline to the Kiliwani North gas field in Tanzania.
Work is now taking place to construct the skid metering unit within the boundaries of the KNDL (Kiliwani North Development Lease) prior to tying-in with the Kiliwani North-1 (KN-1) wellhead.
The company said the KNDL joint venture has also been notified by TPDC that pressure testing of the pipeline is expected to commence shortly and the final construction of equipment to connect the KN-1 wellhead is expected within the same timeframe.
When connected to the export pipeline, the well head is expected to produce at least 20million cubic feet per day.
Gas from KN-1 will be processed at Songo Songo and will then join the pipeline to the Dar es Salaam market.
Neil Ritson, Solo’s chairman, said: “As the construction and commissioning of the Dar es Salaam to Mnazi Bay pipeline nears completion and the final stages of construction have begun on the Kiliwani North-1 well, we look forward to first commercial gas production from the field.”
Solo Oil has also confirmed that on final closing of the transaction to acquire an initial 6.5% interest in the KNDL, which is expected shortly, it will become party to the KNDL Joint Operation Agreement and the Gas Sales Agreement which is expected to be signed shortly.
