Jay Bhattacherjeree, chief executive of Aminex PLC (LON:AEX) says he is “excited to be part of the energy solution in Tanzania” after the firm announced first gas production from its Kiliwani North gas field in the country this morning.

First gas at Kiliwani North marks the transition of the company from developer to producer in Africa, and Bhattacherjeree tells Proactive “this is just the first step – we are going to keep expanding off of this and add to that energy mix”.

Production is expected to build up to a production rate of 25-30 million cubic feet per day (mmcfd), or around 4,000-5,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day gross, over the next three months.

“It’s the first step in continuous growth”, the chief executive says, adding that the company will “keep working hard to expand the production base”.
