Very interesting, I've always suspected them having trouble getting their licence renewed, Orca's relationship with the Tanzanian Government over the years has not been without disputes. Yes like you say their PSA licence is not a conventional one and would seem to favour Orca, its going to be interesting to see what happens now.
Not my find Crusty, just passing it on, thanks should go to a mr (B) I believe, 🙂, a member of the Telegram group.

Maybe the problem with RoJo is, that he can't read. Lol,
Well they have compensated all the land owners for the pipeline already and a company has been contracted for the detailed design of the pipeline, also the GSAhas been issued, so I would suggest that the decision to develop Ntorya has already been made, and no doubt we'll find out soon enough when they issue the development licence.
Yes I'm inclined to agree, but whether it's corruption or simply incompetence I wouldn't know, but the two ministers that were dismissed from there jobs last year, would suggest a need for improvement within these Ministry bodies. So hopefully after the shakeup last year we will see improvement in efficiency this year. The growing need for Ntorya gas still exists.
"Â It is expected that a drilling rig contract for CH-1 and NT-1 will be finalised in the coming months. Further announcements will be made in due course."
Because the market demands them, but in saying that, every workstream or licence award, is issued by the term of expectation, which does not imply certainty.
Well, that's not too bad RoJo, all considering
What is your break-even price RoJo?
Yes, I have RoJo, well lets see what news we get in say in a month
"Aminex now anticipates early issue of the Development Licence which will allow the award of a rig contract and enable the drilling of Chikumbi-1 and the workover of Ntorya-1. The testing of Ntorya-2 is now scheduled for mid-year using an in-country mobile test unit."
At this moment in time, 2.5p would be great 🙂😀
Well, I'll wear that as a badge of honor rojo
Which one ? Lol 😂
That's not fair, why am I only in sub set 1 and Cperkin in 5 : (
And where do you lie RoJo.
"I can see him now, all dandied up "
Ah RoJo, and I can see you now, In some seedy boiler room typing your posts and being given tea by a sad old boiler. Lol 😀😅
Glad you see it as positive news RoJo, 🙂
"TPDC MD Mussa Makame added that the completion of the project would enable the development of other natural gas activities to be carried out, such as the construction of infrastructure to collect gas from wells and for preliminary cleaning, the provision of water and the construction of a 34 km pipeline to transport natural gas to the processing plant located in Msimbati, Madimba in the Mtwara region."
