Tanzania LNG Site Selected

Oil and gas companies working on a project to build an LNG export plant in Tanzania have selected a site location, Tanzania’s energy minister Sospeter Muhongo said.

The government of Tanzania has asked the companies to make their plans public as early as next week, according to the minister.

“The location of the plant will be left to the companies – BG, Statoil and their partners Exxon Mobil and Ophir,” he told Reuters on Friday.

“They have now selected one site and we’ve told them to make an announcement, and I’m hoping they’ll do it next week,” Muhongo added.
