Tanzania to pump gas to Uganda

In a move to boost energy cooperation, Tanzania has decided to build a pipeline to pump natural gas to Uganda.
Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation (TPDC) said that the pipeline would start from its capital, Dar es Salaam, then pass through Tanga port on the Indian Ocean and to Mwanza, a port on Lake Victoria before crossing the border to Uganda.
It said it was looking to hire a contractor to conduct a feasibility study to determine current and future natural gas demand “by identifying all potential customers”. It did not give an estimated volume.
The study would also establish the most economically viable route for the pipeline, it said.
Tanzania boasts estimated recoverable natural gas reserves of more than 57-trillion cubic feet (tcf), mostly in offshore fields in the south of the country.
In 2016 the two countries agreed to develop a crude oil export pipeline to help transport land-locked Uganda’s crude reserves from fields in the country’s west to offshore markets.
