Shell in Tanzania

Currently, Shell and its partners are working

with the Government through Tanzania

Petroleum Development Corporation (TPDC) to

find the most cost-effective and efficient way to

develop a multi-billion-dollar Liquefied Natural

Gas (LNG) project. LNG means taking natural

gas and cooling it from the gaseous state to

liquid form (at about -160 degrees Centigrade)

so that it can be easily transported to different

global markets. When LNG reaches its

destination, LNG is turned back into gas.

The Tanzania LNG project is at the foundation

stage requiring multiple agreements between

the International Oil and Gas Companies

(IOCs) and the Government.

As Tanzania strives to become a middle-

income nation with an industry-driven economy

by 2025, the integrated gas and LNG project

will be an important vehicle to support the

country to achieve this vision. Once this

ambitious scheme begins production, the

country will see immense benefits.

Over $2 billion invested

18 wells drilled, 16 TCF of Natural Gas discovered

Shell’s activities in Tanzania began in the 1930’s with fuels and lubricants as the main business. In 2016, the company expanded its presence through the BG Shell combination as operator, of two offshore blocks (Block 1 and Block 4) in the southern region of Tanzania, together with its partners, Ophir Energy and Pavilion Energy. After extensive exploration activities in the two blocks, 18 wells were drilled, 16 Trillion Cubic Feet (TCF) of recoverable natural gas discovered, and over $2 billion invested to date.

Shell is keen to make powerful contribution to the country recognise the need to develop skills in order to harness the potential employment and business opportunities that the oil and gas value chain in Tanzania could generate. Our SI themes are designed to respond to gaps in different skills levels beginning from core education all the way to vocational, technical and higher education. The design also seeks to support programs in institutional capacity building, science promotion (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics - STEM) and livelihood development. The following are some of our SI Programs:
