Ntorya pipeline moves ahead as East Africa’s largest onshore gas project takes shape
Aminex has taken to social media to underline just how far things have come in the last six months — and just how close we are to seeing first gas. The company’s latest update highlights the transition from preparation to delivery, with Ntorya now firmly in construction.
Construction Under Way
The award of the Ntorya-Madimba pipeline contract is the pivotal milestone. Procurement has already begun, groundworks are scheduled for early 2026, and commissioning is targeted for mid-year. This isn’t planning on paper — it’s execution on the ground.
As Aminex noted:
“The Ntorya Gas Development has now advanced definitively into its construction phase… This milestone has in turn catalysed wider activity on the ground and across the project.”
An Expanded Vision
In parallel, operator APT has submitted a revised Field Development Plan. This is no small tweak. It lays out:
-
A 35-year production horizon
-
A phased development approach
-
A materially higher long-term gas plateau than previously envisaged
The scale is transformative. Ntorya has the potential to deliver more gas than Tanzania currently produces as a nation, underpinning power generation, industry, and economic growth for decades to come.
From Restructure to Revenue
The past few years were about restructuring and positioning. That stage is now complete. Aminex is entering the second half of 2025 with:
-
A clear pipeline construction schedule
-
Strong operator and government support
-
A free carry through development to material revenues
The focus is now squarely on delivery and value growth.
Ntorya: A Central Role in Tanzania’s Future
As Aminex put it:
“As the largest onshore gas development in East Africa, supported by a stable regulatory environment, expanding domestic demand, and long-term licence tenure, Ntorya positions Aminex to play a central role in Tanzania’s energy future.”
That’s the big picture. Aminex isn’t simply progressing a gas project — it is part of a national transformation.
