Analysis of Oilbi gas block reservoir and key features

Geological Characteristics

Tanzania's offshore gas fields are located thick sedimentary basins that were shaped by a series of tectonic events, including the breakup of Gondawana and the development of the East Africa Rift.

Drilling and Exploration Success

  • Exploration and drilling activities offshore Tanzania have consistently achieved high success rates, primarily due to advantageous geological settings and well-sealed sedimentary layers.
  • These geological advantages make Tanzania's offshore gas sector a highly attractive area for future development and investment.
