π Tender Overview
Scope :
The governments of Tanzania and Uganda have signed an agreement to undertake a feasibility study for the construction of a gas pipeline connecting Tanzania's gas fields to Uganda. The MoU related to the pipeline construction from Tanzania to Uganda due to the former making large gas discoveries in the deep sea and land. These two countries have agreed to do feasibility work together to facilitate project evaluation and provide a guide to the feasibility of the project, including the project structure, gas requirements, pipe size and other important information about the project for decision-making. Tanzania discovered significant amounts of natural gas, around 57.54 trillion ft3.
However, due to increasing demand for natural gas both domestically and internationally, the government is looking to explore various locations including Eyasi Wembere, Songosongo West, Lake Tanganyika and deep water in the ocean to increase production.
Tanzania is seeking potential strategic partners to research and develop oil and gas sources in collaboration with the Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation. The pipeline will transport gas from the proposed USD 42-million Tanzania LNG project that looks to unlock confirmed offshore gas deposits of 57.5 tcf.
The proposed facility will be located in Lindi on the southern coast of Tanzania adjacent to the offshore fields.
