A gas pipeline has now been completed to connect Solo Oil (LON:SOLO) and Aminex’s (LON:AEX) Kiliwani gas project to a processing plant.
The pipe to the Songo Songo facility has been completed to within 20 metres of the production well head, Solo said in a statement.
It is the latest step in the companies’ achieving first revenues from Tanzania.
The pipeline will shortly be hooked up and commissioned, and in the meantime discussions continue with the authorities over a gas sales agreement.
"As we reach the point of gas commercialisation we are naturally tracking the process very closely and shortly expect to see final hook-up and pressure testing get underway,” said chairman Neil Ritson.
“With the imminent hook-up we also remain extremely confident that the GSA will be signed in time to commence exports of gas from the field as soon as the facilities are complete."
