dc.description.abstractTanzania has been exploring for oil and gas for the past 60 years since 1952. The first natural gas discovery was made in 1974 on the Songo Songo Island (Lindi Region) followed by a second discovery at the Mnazi Bay (Mtwara Region) in 1982. The Songo Songo natural gas was commercialized in 2004 and that of the Mnazi Bay in 2006. The commercialization of the two discoveries propelled further exploration both on- and off-shore In 1999 petroleum exploration in the deep sea commenced with the shooting of speculative seismic survey along the entire East African coastal area after which the deep-sea Tanzania was divided into blocks. In 2005 the first exploration license in the deep-sea was awarded. In 2010, these exploration endeavors culminated in large quantities of natural gas discoveries. Exploration continues and more gas discoveries are anticipated. Over all these years, petroleum exploration and production has been guided by the Petroleum (Exploration and Production) Act of 1980 using the National Energy Policy of 2003 which cater for upstream activities. This Natural Gas Policy has been formulated to rectify the shortcomings in the above mentioned documents and provide guidance to the increasing mid- and down-stream activities in the natural gas industry in Tanzania.en_US
