BVI-registered Orca Exploration Group Inc. published an operational update on its current activities in Tanzania. According to the released information, company’s additional gas sales increased in August 2019. In September, Orca Exploration signed agreement with the Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation to increase the maximum daily quantity of Additional Gas that can be supplied under Orca’s Gas Sales Agreement.
The BVI company is actively seeking for new sales opportunities in Tanzania, assisting the government to evaluate the potential to supply large volumes of natural gas to partners in East Africa. Also, Orca is discussing the expansion of its existing compressed natural gas business with commercial fuel distributors and other potential customers. Also, Orca is close to completion of the front-end engineering and design for compression for the Songas facility.
CEO of Orca Exploration Nigel Friend said in his comments: “The Government of Tanzania is actively looking at ways to utilise its significant indigenous natural gas resources to fuel industrial and economic growth for the benefit of the country and the wider East African region. We are encouraged by this increased activity and, in conjunction with our partner, TPDC, are evaluating the options to increase production from the Songo Songo field to ensure that natural gas is available to support the Government’s objectives in a timely manner”.
