The licenswell heade contains the large Songo Songo gas field which is positioned on and slightly offshore Songo Songo Island. The main reservoir is developed in Lower Cretaceous aged Neocomian to Albian sandstones (Neocomian), while Upper Cretaceous aged Cenomanian sands that lie unconformably on the Lower Cretaceous provide additional reservoir when developed.
Orca operates a gas processing facility on Songo Songo Island on behalf of Songas Limited, the gas processing facility owner, on a no loss, no gain basis. The plant supplies natural gas to a 25 km 12” marine pipeline and a 207 km 16” land pipeline that extends north along the coast to Dar es Salaam. Songo Songo is Tanzania’s first natural gas development.
