Tanzania: Aminex starts up Kiliwani North


Issue 321 - 15 Apr 2016 | 1 minute read

Aminex began gas production on 4 April from the Kiliwani North-1 well, which will deliver gas to the new adjacent Songo Songo processing plant for the local power market. Production is expected to build up to 25-30 mcf/d over the next 90-100 days and initial production rates will be managed to allow for testing and commissioning of the gas processing plant and pipeline. Together with Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation (TPDC), Aminex plans to conduct a well test during the production build-up to determine the optimal flow rate. This will become the commercial production rate and the company intends to flow gas at this rate for as long as possible before a natural decline in production. Aminex signed a gas sales agreement with TPDC in January.
