據油氣新聞網3月8日報道，坦桑尼亞能源部表示，坦桑尼亞、挪威Equinor公司和英國殼牌公司就建設一座價值300億美元的液化天然氣（LNG）終端的談判已經完成，合同準備工作正在進行中。

由于監管方面的拖延，坦桑尼亞巨大的海上天然氣資源的開發已被擱置多年。

去年6月，三方簽署了一項框架協議，旨在加快該項目建設的啟動。政府的目標是在2025年對該設施做出最終投資決定。

能源部周一晚間在其推特賬戶上表示，部長馬坎巴（Januar Makamba）表示，該液化天然氣項目建設的談判已經完成，現在專家們正在起草合同。在這些合同中，一份是關于東道國政府協議，另一份是加入區塊1、2和4，這將為該液化天然氣項目提供天然氣，但沒有給出何時簽署合同的時間表。

殼牌公司經營著坦桑尼亞的1號區塊和4號區塊，預計可采天然氣儲量為16萬億立方英尺。

挪威石油和天然氣生產商Equinor還運營著2號區塊，?？松梨诔钟性搮^塊的股份，據估計該區塊擁有超過20萬億立方英尺的天然氣。

Equinor和殼牌公司，以及?？松梨诠?、歐菲爾能源公司和Pavilion能源公司，計劃在坦桑尼亞東南部Lindi地區建造液化天然氣工廠。

坦桑尼亞已經將其發現的一些天然氣用于發電和運營制造廠。其還計劃建造一座化肥廠。

截至2022年6月，坦桑尼亞政府估計該國的可采天然氣總量為57.54萬億立方英尺。

Tanzania completes negotiations of $30bn LNG project with Shell, Equinor

Negotiations for the construction of a $30 billion liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal between Tanzania, Norway's Equinor and Britain's Shell are complete and contract preparations are underway, Tanzania's energy ministry said.

The development of Tanzania's vast offshore gas resources has been held up for years due to regulatory delays.

Last June, all three parties involved signed a framework agreement aimed at bringing closer the start of the project's construction. The government aims to reach a final investment decision in 2025 for the facility.

"Minister January Makamba said negotiations on the construction of the LNG project were complete, and now experts are at work drafting contracts," the energy ministry said on its Twitter account late Monday.

"Of these contracts, one is about the Host Government Agreement and another is on joining blocks 1, 2 and 4, which will provide natural gas for the LNG project," it said without giving a timeline for when the contracts will be signed.

Shell operates Tanzania's Block 1 and Block 4, which hold 16 trillion cubic feet (cu ft) in estimated recoverable gas.

Norwegian oil and gas producer Equinor also operates Block 2, in which ExxonMobil holds a stake and which is estimated to hold more than 20 trillion cu ft of gas.

Equinor and Shell, along with Exxon Mobil, Ophir Energy and Pavilion Energy, plan to build the LNG plant in Tanzania's south east Lindi region.

Tanzania already uses some of its natural gas discoveries for power generation and to run manufacturing plants. It also plans to build a fertiliser plant.

The government has put the country's total estimated recoverable gas at 57.54 trillion cu ft, as of June 2022.
