"#Tanzania's largest #onshore #gas development has just gotten bigger! The latest 3D #seismic #data for our #Ntorya gas discovery has significantly increased the most likely gas initially in place estimate to 3.45 Tcf, revealing a potential within our licence of 16. 4 Tcf. "@AP

How much is a 1 trillion cubic feet of natural gas worth?

"It depends on a number of factors, including quality, location, contract delivery terms, etc.
In the U.S., the value at the wellhead is about $3.00 per million BTU, which for 1,000 BTU gas is the same as $3.00 per thousand cubic feet.
One trillion cubic feet would therefore be worth $3 billion at the wellhead (i.e., to the producer), which is kind of nonsensical because it will take a while to deliver that quantity.
If youโre contracting for delivery of LNG by tanker, youโre probably going to pay a higher price, probably one based on the energy content on a barrel of oil equivalent basis.
That would be a price closer to $9.00/mcf. The value of a 1 TCF contract delivered over a several year term would be $9 billion to the purchaser.
The cost of processing, transporting, and liquefying the gas is considerable."
