Overview

Oilbi holds 100% exploration and operation rights for offshore Blocks 2R and 3R in southeastern Tanzania. These exclusive rights will be further secured by the imminent signing of the Production Sharing Agreement(PSA).

Gas Blocks Overview

Block Status

Block 3R (Papa Field)

Active

The Papa field was discovered in 2012 by a consortium of BG Group and Ophir Energy. This significant discovery marked a major milestone in Tanzania's offshore gas exploration and established the potential for large-scale LNG development.

Proven Reserves (P1) 3.5 Tcf
LNG Output Potential 70M tons
Production Period 26-27 years
Probable Reserves (P2) 18.2 Tcf

Block 2R

Ready for Development

Block 2R represents significant exploration potential with geological characteristics similar to the proven Papa field. Our comprehensive geological analysis indicates substantial gas reserves waiting to be developed.

Probable Reserves (P2) 17.8 Tcf
Exploration Status Ready for Development
Block 2R

Geological Excellence

Superior Geological Characteristics

Offshore gas fields of Tanzania have shown a relatively high success rate in exploration and drilling due to their promising geological characteristics. Our blocks are located in one of the most prospective areas of the East African margin.

  • Excellent reservoir quality and thickness
  • Stable geological structure with minimal faulting
  • Proven source rock with high organic content
  • Optimal depth for efficient extraction
  • Close proximity to existing infrastructure
