Tanzania Oil and Gas Market Report 2018-2032: Field-Wise Production, Refining, LNG, Pipelines, and Strategic Supply-Demand Analysis

Tanzania's oil and gas market has gained strategic importance following the discovery of significant offshore natural gas reserves in the deep waters of the Indian Ocean. With over 57 trillion cubic feet of proven reserves, the country is positioning itself as a major East African hub for liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports. The government views hydrocarbon development as a driver for economic growth, industrialization, and energy security, with a focus on natural gas for power generation, industrial feedstock, and future export revenue. Interest from global energy companies such as Shell and Equinor has been strong, with large-scale LNG project negotiations progressing under a more favorable investment climate fostered by regulatory reforms and political stability under President Samia Suluhu Hassan. Infrastructure upgrades are a priority to support upstream and downstream expansion, enabling Tanzania to capture both domestic and international market opportunities.

The sector remains in an early but promising development phase, dominated by upstream gas exploration and production activities. Offshore deepwater Rovuma Basin projects, led by joint ventures between Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation (TPDC), Shell, and Equinor, are central to the country's LNG ambitions. The proposed onshore LNG terminal at Lindi is advancing toward final investment decisions after years of negotiation. In the midstream segment, planned LNG facilities and pipeline infrastructure are set to form the backbone of export capacity, with potential integration into regional energy networks linking Mozambique and Uganda. The existing Songo Songo and Mnazi Bay fields already supply gas for domestic electricity generation and industrial consumption, supported by transmission lines to Dar es Salaam and other key demand centers. Downstream, Tanzania is expanding domestic gas distribution, exploring small-scale LNG applications, and promoting gas-based power as part of an integrated national energy strategy. While oil production is minimal and refining capacity absent, petroleum product imports currently meet domestic fuel needs, underscoring the opportunity for future sector diversification.
