坦桑尼亚南部Mnazi Bay地区宣布发现一处新的天然气田，这是该国在十多年来的首次此类重大发现 1。此次勘探成果由国有坦桑尼亚石油发展公司（TPDC）与法国石油企业Maurel & Prom共同拥有，具体井位为Kasa-1X ST2 1。根据评估，该气田的储量估计达到2230亿立方英尺（63亿立方米） 1。
该项目预计将于下月初开始生产，以增加国内供应来应对因工业增长而日益增加的能源需求 1。坦桑尼亚能源部长Juma Homera称该发现为该国油气行业发展的重要里程碑 1。他进一步强调：“这一发现对于确保国家以可承受的成本获取可靠、清洁且安全的能源具有重要意义。” 1
背景数据显示，坦桑尼亚现有天然气储量为57.54万亿立方英尺；2024年政府统计显示，天然气占电力生产的近80% 1。
Tanzania has announced the discovery of natural gas at the Kasa-1X ST2 well in the Mnazi Bay region, marking the country’s first major find in more than ten years 1. The resource is jointly owned by the state-run Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation (TPDC) and French oil company Maurel & Prom 1.
Energy Minister Juma Homera described the development as a “major milestone” for the nation’s oil and gas sector, emphasizing its role in meeting growing energy demands driven by industrial expansion 1. He stated that “The discovery is important in ensuring the country has reliable, clean and safe energy at affordable costs,” highlighting the strategic value of the new supply 1.
The estimated reserves amount to 223 billion cubic feet (6.3 billion cubic metres), with production expected to begin next month to boost domestic availability 1. This addition comes alongside Tanzania’s existing natural gas reserves of 57.54 trillion cubic feet, which currently support nearly 80 percent of the country’s electricity generation according to 2024 government statistics 1.
