Tanzania: TPDC requests $4.178/mBtu tariff for Songo Songo

Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation (TPDC) has asked the Energy and Water Utilities Regulatory Authority for a tariff of $4.178/mBtu for gas from the Songo Songo field. TPDC is in the final stages of building a pipeline to transport gas from Mtwara and Songo Songo to two processing plants in Madimba, Mtwara, and Songo Songo Island. A new Chinese-funded pipeline has been built to supplement the old 12-inch pipeline between Songo Songo and Dar es Salaam, which reached its capacity of 140mcf/day around 2007-08.
