Signing up a Wealth of Experience!

Io Oil & Gas – Baker Hughes a GE Company – GE Oil & Gas - McDermott


Could this be the team to realise the potential of Aminex?



Aminex announced Appointment of io oil & gas consulting to Conduct Gas Development Study

On 10th July Aminex-PLC stated that they are pleased to report the appointment of io oil & gas consulting, a Baker Hughes, a GE Company, and McDermott joint venture, to prepare a gas commercialisation study to assist with the development of the Ntorya field, part of the Company's Ruvuma PSA acreage in Tanzania. The study is designed to identify gas monetisation options available to the Company including potential early development facilities to supply gas to local market and enable near term revenue generation.

The Ntorya-2 appraisal well was drilled earlier this year and successfully tested in March 2017 at a stabilized rate of 17 million cubic feet per day. The well was suspended for future production. Aminex's management estimates that the Ntorya appraisal area has Pmean GIIP of 466 billion cubic feet.


Gas from longer-term development of the field is
expected to be supplied to the Natural Gas Pipeline and in conjunction with this Aminex is keen to implement solutions for early monetisation of Ntorya gas prior to full field development and construction of associated infrastructure. The Company may explore options to collaborate further in the future with io oil & gas consulting and to leverage Baker Hughes, a GE Company, and McDermott expertise in developing gas infrastructure in Tanzania.
