Anadarko Makes Mozambique Oil Discovery
Anadarko Makes Mozambique Oil Discovery | |
| Tuesday, August 17, 2010 | Printer Friendly Version |
| Anadarko Petroleum, the second-largest U.S. independent oil and natural gas producer, announced the first major discovery of oil off the coast of the East African nation Mozambique. Anadarko's Ironclad well encountered about 125 feet (38 meters) of sands saturated with crude and natural gas, according to Bloomberg News. Texas-based Anadarko (APC) said the find probably will not be commercially developed. The company has been active in Mozambique and announced a major natural gas discovery there earlier this year. Ironclad was drilled to a total depth of about 17,400 feet in 3,418 feet of water and is located about 70 miles south of Anadarko's Windjammer gas discovery, which was announced in February, Bloomberg reported. The oil discovery is believed to be the first documented deepwater oil find off Mozambique's coast. Anadarko said it hopes the Ironclad discovery will provide the company with more data about the potential for additional oil finds in the region. London-based Cove Energy Plc is Anadarko's partner on the project. | |

Mozambique crude oil discovery changes Tanzanian prospects- analysts
The Guardian Reporter
Confirmation of the presence of crude oil in Mozambican deep sea waters, which is only 20 kilometers away from Tanzanian waters, changes prospects in Tanzania, according to analysts.
The nation’s deep sea oil and gas prospecting blocks in the south eastern Indian Ocean which were thought to be gas fields could indeed be crude oil reservoirs, Offshore Magazine has asserted in an article published on August 19.
Cove Energy, the company prospecting for oil and gas in Mozambique in collaboration with the company Anadarko, announced that the Ironclad-1 drilled by Belford Dolphin some 110 kilometers south of the Windjammer gas discovery appeared to be a crude oil discovery in Mozambique.
It is the first documented discovery of liquid hydrocarbons offshore East Africa.
The well penetrated 38 meters of oil and gas saturated sands from an extensive Cretaceous deep water fan complex, the company reported, adding that there were substantial gas shows throughout the 205 meters of Cretaceous. The well was drilled to 5,304 meters depth.
The Windjammer well is about 20 kilometers south of the Tanzanian line. Thus Ironclad-1 looks to be 130 km south of Tanzanian waters. This will encourage the Ophir/ BG Group, in Tanzania’s blocks 1,3 and 4 of the Mafia Deepwater Basin offshore Mafia Island in deep waters as they gather exploration momentum in the area, Offshore Magazine analysts have said.
The Odfjell Drilling Company's dynamically positioned semi-submersible Deepsea Stavanger is expected to arrive on its first Tanzanian location during August. This is a brand new rig built by Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine from South Korea.
Two firm wells are planned with options for a third.
The east coastal region of Tanzania has long been considered highly prospective.
A Western Geophysical high resolution seismic survey conducted prior to Tanzania's licensing round of 2000 identified a number of structures in the Mafia deepwater basin.
Oil seeps exist on Pemba Island and oil appeared in shallow shot holes on Mafia island itself. So a confirmation by the Ironclad-1 wildcat that an oil structure exists is good news indeed.
Although gas and oil can exist in the same area, Tanzania’s south-east offshore license area is known to be a æstrictly natural gas area.
Aminex, the British oil and gas prospecting company working in conjunction with another British company, Tullow Oil Plc to prospect for oil and gas in the Indian Ocean within TanzaniaÆs south eastern territorial waters says the evidence now available proves the deep sea license area to be a strictly natural gas area with oil indications present only on the mainland.
Briefing shareholders in London recently, company officials said data currently available showed oil was present somewhere onshore while evidence indicated the offshore Tanzania license was a gas play.
But the temperature exploration in this area is high nonetheless.
The British company Key Petroleum recently announced they will resume drilling for oil and gas in the offshore Nyuni licence area in December, six years after halting drilling operations there. The exploration license is in the same vicinity as the Tullow-Aminex blocks.
Partners in the Nyuni joint venture offshore Tanzania have opted to drill the Nyuni 2 exploration well in December, where the well will be drilled directionally from Nyuni Island in the northeast of the Nyuni block to a subsurface target 1.47 km (9.6 mi) to the east, beyond the edge of the continental shelf, the company said in a recent press release.
Key Petroleum says the well will test a very large anticlinal closure drilled by the Nyuni 1 well in 2003-04, which discovered a 15-m (49-ft) gas column in Albina-Aptian sandstone. However, the gas-bearing zone could not be flow tested at the time due to operational factors.

Mozambique: Oil in Rovuma Basin - Guebuza Urges Citizens to Remain Calm
Mozambique: Oil in Rovuma Basin - Guebuza Urges Citizens to Remain Calm
17 August 2010

Windhoek — Mozambican President Armando Guebuza on Tuesday urged all Mozambicans to remain calm following the news reporting the discovery of oil in the Rovuma Basin, in the northern region of the country.
Guebuza, who was speaking to Mozambican reporters in Windhoek, the Namibian capital, on the sidelines of the just ended 30th Ordinary Summit of Heads of States and Governments of the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC), said that Mozambicans must remain calm and wait for more detailed information on these findings.
"The first thing I would like to say is to advise people to remain calm until we have more information on the discovery," said Guebuza.
According to Guebuza, even if oil is found in commercially viable amounts, people should never set aside other means of livelihood, such as agriculture.
On Monday, Mozambique's Minister of Mineral Resources, Esperanca Bias, announced in Maputo that the US oil company Anadarko has found oil deposits in the Rovuma Basin.
Bias, who was speaking during a press conference, explained that it is still a technical presence of oil, because there is still a long way to go for the evaluation of its commercial viability.

Oil was found at a depth of 5100 meters, with the Minister claiming that it is the first time that oil was found off shore in the East African region.
In 2006, Anadarko signed a contract with the Mozambican government for the drilling of six exploratory wells in the Rovuma Basin.
Last February, Anadarko announced that the Windjammer exploratory well, off the coast of Cabo Delgado province, encountered more than 480 net feet of natural gas pay in high-quality reservoir sands, with a gross column of more than 1,200 feet.
Apart from Anadarko there are another three companies prospecting hydrocarbons in the Rovuma basin, including ENI from Italy, Petronas (Malaysia) and Statoil (Norway).

Maputo — The Mozambican Government might cancel the project to build an oil refinery in the district of Nacala-a-Velha in the northern Nampula province, according to the paper "O Pais".
Energy Minister Salvador Namburete lamented that no construction work has taken place since the signing of the agreement to build the refinery in October 2007. The minister assumed that this was due to the world financial crisis, which affected the banks that would fund the 5 billion US dollar project.
According to the minister, "what we know and hear from investors is that financing was secured by commercial banks. However, because of the financial crisis, they have had difficulties".
Namburete said that the decision is imminent because the largest shareholder in the project, Ayr Logistics, has not shown signs of going ahead with the project.
"There are rules laid down in law. We have been a little tolerant, because we have been following the international crisis. But the company that signed the accord with the government has not been meeting deadlines".
The minister stated that the proposed Oilmoz oil refinery near Maputo is also under threat of cancellation. Oilmoz needs to raise 8 billion US dollars for constructing the refinery, which would produce 350,000 barrels of fuel a day.
The threat to cancel the proposed oil refineries coincides with the discovery by the American company Anadarko of oil in the Rovuma basin.
Mozambique: Nacala refinery becomes increasingly unlikely

NewsMaputo, Mozambique, 22 May – The construction of a refinery in the Mozambican district of Nacala-a-Velha, in Nampula province, appears to be an increasingly unlikely prospect due to investors giving up on the project and difficulties securing the US$5 billion needed for its construction, Mozambican newspaper Notícias reported.
The paper added that due to financial constraints Five International, which in partnership with Air Logistic had set up the consortium responsible for construction of the refinery, recently announced it was withdrawing from the project and put up for sale its shares in the project.
Francisco Mcanhela, the permanent secretary of Nampula province, told Notícias that the dynamism that characterised the project in its initial phase of execution had died away recently, particularly as of the time when the impact of the financial crisis also began to be felt in the country.
According to Mucanhela the banks with which the consortium was working had also been affected by the crisis, which was another factor that had affected the normal progress of the project.
In mid 2008 Air Logistic and the Five Internacional group met with the district government to define the guidelines for the physical implementation of the refinery, and it was agreed at the time that the consortium would pay compensation due to the population resident in the approximately 800-hectare area of the project.

DNO Inhaminga block
Mozambique has issued an international tender for oil and gas exploration in the central province of Sofala, the state-run daily newspaper Noticias has reported. The paper said the search for hydrocarbons, including oil and natural gas, in the Inhaminga block would cover the districts of Cheringoma, Caia Park and Maringue and that the winning bidder would be announced in December. It said the bidder would acquire 600 sq kms of 2D seismic areas and would have to start drilling wells early in 2010 under the supervision of a Norwegian multinational company, which was not named.
Mozambique has major proven gas reserves, but does not have the technical and financial capacity to exploit them. Gas was discovered in Mozambique in 1962, when Gulf Oil drilled a successful well in the Pande field in the southern province of Inhambane, but 17 years of crippling war which ended in 1992 had prevented further investment. DNO International has an 80% interest in the Inhaminga block, which covers an area of 21,400 sq kms and is located some 200 kms from Sasol’s development of the Pande and Temane gas fields. DNO is the operator of the block and has established an operations office in the city of Beira, close to the area of operations.
DNO may drill two more test wells as part of its oil and gas surveys in the Inhaminga block, a source from Mozambique's National Oil Institute (INP) has told reporters this week. Three wells have so far been drilled in the Inhaminga oil block since DNO was granted the concession, although the source gave no details of investments made so far. 'They are working in the field, they are carrying out the seismic survey and based on that they may drill two more wells,' the source has said. The first two wells, according to the source, provided negative results and, currently findings from the third well are under analysis. The Inhaminga block, located in the central province of Sofala, is made up of a vast area that includes the districts of Cheringoma, Caia, Gorongosa and Marínguè.
No one from Mozambique's hydrocarbons agency, ENH, was immediately available for comment and DNO did not have an immediate comment to make about the tender.

Oil and Natural Gas in Mozambique

History of Petroleum Exploration in Mozambique
Natural gas production: 80 million cu m (2004 est.)
Natural gas proved reserves: 127.4 billion cu m (1 January 2005 est.)
Exploration for hydrocarbons in Mozambique goes back to 1904 when the early explorers discovered thick sedimentary basins onshore Mozambique. Poor technology and lack of funds halted those early exploration attempts.
From 1948 onwards international oil companies moved into Mozambique and carried out extensive exploration, mainly onshore with limited activity offshore. As a result the Pande Gas Field was discovered in 1961 by Gulf Oil (now part of Chevron) followed by the gas discoveries of Búzi (1962) and Temane (1967).
Exploration activity declined in the early 1970’s due to political unrest.
New activity was established in the early 1980’s with the enactment of law 3/81 and creation of ENH. In the following years extensive work was carried out to map and appraise the Pande Field.
A breakthrough was made in 1993 when it became clear that the Pande Field could be mapped using direct hydrocarbon indicators (DHI) from seismic data and it turned out that there was a giant bright spot at the top of the reservoir. The method was later also used to map the Temane field with good result.
From 1970 to 1980 there have only been drilled 6 wildcat wells in Mozambique – 3 of them offshore.
An extensive drilling campaign conducted by Sasol in 2003 which included exploration and production wells in the Pande/Temane Block allowed the expansion of gas reserves and the discovery of Inhassoro Gas Field, making total of 5,504 trillion cubic feet (TCF). (Source: National Petroleum Institute)
Hydrocarbon Potential & Occurrences
There are four proven gas fields in Mozambique: Pande,Temane, Buzi, Inhassoro. 22 other wells drilled to date showed gas, asphalt and traces of dead oil, and surface gas seepages occur at Inhaminga, Cundue Creek, Ponta Uifundo, with oil seepages at Lake Nhangela, Angoche, Pemba, Ponta Uifundo.
The Rovuma Basin is about 400 km long by 160 km (250 by 100 miles) and is centred on the Rovuma Delta near the border between Mozambique and Tanzania. The basin occurs both onshore and offshore. Nearly 73 000 sq. km (29 200 sq. miles) of the Rovuma Basin lies within Mozambique.
A number of oil and gas seepages have been identified in both the Mozambican and Tanzanian part of the basin, proving active petroleum systems.
It has been suggested that the Rovuma Delta Basin is geologically analogous to some of the great delta systems being developed today, such as the Niger Delta, Mahakam Delta and the Gulf of Mexico.
Rovuma Basin Concessions
Sasol Petroleum International is exploiting the Temane Gas Field and the first gas was put into the gas transmission pipeline at the central processing facility on the Feb 18, 2004 and delivered to Sasol's Secunda plant in South Africa on the February 21, 2004. A total of 2,618,894,658 Nm3 of gas and 619,440 bbls of condensate were produced up to August 2005.
- Artumas Group Inc is exploring the Rovuma on-shore block concession.
Principal Area of Operation
- In February 2005, Mozambique launched its second offshore licensing round for blocks in the northern Rovuma basin.
- Norsk Hydro has been awarded offshore Areas 2 and 5 in May, 2006.
- In June 2005, the Mozambican Empresa Nacional de Hidrocarbonetos (ENH) and the South African petrochemical company Sasol signed an agreement with the Mozambican government for Blocks 16 and 19 off the southern coast of Mozambique. Seismic studies and exploratory drilling on the blocks are expected to cost $7 million.
- PETRONAS has been awarded offshore Areas 3 and 6.
- Eni SpA has been awarded Area 4, located in the deep waters of the Rovuma Basin, covering an area of 17,646 square km and at a water depth of 2,600 metres.
Mozambique Oil
Mozambique is a rapidly growing country, but its people are still amongst the poorest in the world. When Mozambique received its independence in 1975, it was one of the most poverty stricken countries in the world. For example, inflation was reduced substantially during the 1990s, but it rose once again during the time span of 2000 to 2006. Once 2007 arose, Mozambique’s GDP growth reached a healthy 7.5% and inflation fell to 8%.
In attempt to maintain the countries’ growth rate on a constant rise, the Mozambique government has chosen to explore in the oil exploration and refineries industries. These two vastly different avenues have the potential of producing a large about of revenue for the country as a whole. Oil exploration, if successful, will create an oil export industry that is currently nonexistent for Mozambique.

- Mozambique Oil Exports – 0bbl/day (2005 est.) - CIA – The World Factbook
In a quest to find oil, Mozambique is promoting foreign investment to fund oil exploration inside its country’s borders.
- Mozambique to spend $1.4 billion to find oil, gas by 2011 – Reuters Africa
- Mozambique to issue $68 million oil exploration tender – Policy.org.za
In an effort to rebuild Mozambique’s damaged agriculture based economy which was a result from the country’s civil war that led to its independence from Portugal in 1975, the government eyes oil as a potential solution to the problem. As stated before the bulk of the funding for oil exploration will be generated by foreign investment.
- Mozambique’s national hydrocarbons company, Empresa Nacional de Hidrocarbonetos’ CEO, Nelson Ocuane, stated that 14 foreign companies are already searching for oil in Mozambique.
Also, the creation of oil refineries in Mozambique will drastically improve the economy.
- The Mozambican Council of Ministers has approved the construction of an oil refinery, valued at more than $1.3 billion - Bloomberg
- The project is set to create about 450 jobs, and generate extra tax revenue for the Mozambican government. With an installed capacity of about 100 000 bbl/d, most of the product will be exported to Malawi, Zimbabwe, and Zambia. – Engineering News
Mozambique government is taking a step in the right direction by creating a stronger oil industry for its country.
Mozambique Oil & Gas
Overview
After many years of civil war and political instability, Mozambique is returning to a state of normality and consequently its upstream oil and gas industry is of growing importance in the region. Mozambique's upstream potential appears to lie in natural gas rather than oil. The critical factor in the future exploitation of the country's gas, however, is the emergence of sound commercial criteria for the establishment of a south-east African gas-gathering network capable of serving developing markets in the region.
Substantial reserves of natural gas have been established and Mozambique is likely to become a major producer of gas in the area in the medium term. There are three onshore gas fields, Pande, Temane and Buzi-Divinhe. Pande has reserves estimated to be in excess of 2.1 Tcf,, Temane reserves in the order of 1.0 Tcf and Buzi has recoverable reserves in the order of 10Bcf. Actual gas production is limited to an insignificant amount from the Pande gas field that supplies the needs of local villages.
Mozambique launched its First Offshore Licensing Round on 31 March 2000. This bidding round is offering 14 blocks mainly in the Mozambique Basin covering the shallow and deep Zambezi delta area.
The main players in the upstream industry include: Enron Oil and Gas Resources Inc, Energy Africa, Sasol Petroleum International, Leopardus Resources Limited, Zarara Petroleum Resources, TotalFinaElf SA, Trefoil Ltd, and Lonrho de Provuma Petroleum. BP, Elf and Western are involved in geophysical surveys of offshore areas.
The downstream oil industry relies on imports, mostly from South Africa. Distribution and marketing of fuel products and lubricants is carried out by the state owned oil company Petromoc. Other companies include BP, Mobil, Caltex.
There are three ports in Mozambique, Maputo, Beira, and Nacala which offer an economic supply corridor to neighbouring landlocked countries.
A major project is being negotiated between ENH, the state oil company, Sasol Petroleum International and Enron Oil and Gas to construct a pipeline that will transport gas from both the Pande and Temane gas fields to the Gauteng area in South Africa. The pipeline between Beira and Harare has been extended and is operating close to full capacity even with an expansion through the addition of pumping stations.
The Government's Department of Mineral Resources and Energy regulates the industry.
Control of the country's upstream oil industry rests with the parastatal upstream oil company, Empresa Nacional de Hidrocarbonetos de Mocambique (ENH) which has exclusive rights to explore for and develop petroleum in Mozambique, and is permitted to exercise these rights in association with foreign investors.
Upstream
Although a number of gas fields in Mozambique were discovered in the early 1960's by Gulf Oil, they remained unexploited owing to continuing civil war and a lack of major gas consumers. Gas reserves have been found both offshore and onshore. The further discovery of large reserves (estimated at more than 60 bcm) of commercially exploitable natural gas in the Pande gas field in Inhambane province and the possibility of utilising natural gas in regional industrial growth has brought renewed interest in Mozambique's upstream prospects by foreign oil companies.
There is no commercial production from Mozambique's fields yet. The Pande fields produce insignificant amounts of gas that are utilised by the villages in the area. There are plans to develop the fields Pande, Temane and Buzi-Divinhe.
The Temane, Sofala and M10 blocks cover a combined area of about 21,500 square kilometres.
The Mozambique national hydrocabon exploration company, Empresa Nacional de Hidrocarbonetos de Mocambique (ENH), is involved both as a licensor on behalf of the government and as a participant in some of the fields.
Downstream
The downstream oil industry in Mozambique is relatively small and relies on imports mainly from South Africa.
Petromoc is the state owned oil company and controls the major market share. Other companies involved in the industry include BP, ExxonMobil and Caltex.
There are three ports in Mozambique - Maputo, Beira and Nacala. There is an existing pipeline between Beira and Harare. Enron and Sasol will be co-operating on the construction of a single pipeline from central Mozambique to Maputo and the South African markets.
Malawi, Zimbabwe and Mozambique are planning a joint fuel refinery in Mozambique with a capacity of 10,000 bpd. The project is to be funded by the Iranian government.
