Tanzaniapetroleum's core objectives include the acquisition of latest information on Tanzania's exploration and production activities,gain exposure to the latest trends and development in the East African market and to keep abreast of geopolitical,industrial and technological developments.
Articles 10 and 109 of 2010 mining Act Stipulate that exploration firms must make provisions for local ownership in areas where they are active.
Therefore as active players in the industry we are committed to act as a check and balance against other players as we move closer to commercial production.
Some of the prevalent concerns include,transparency in revenue management,sharing of royalties with local communities,access to information,environmental degradation and lack of consultation with communities in oil-rich regions.
Lastly is to highlight the secrecy in public sharing contracts that the government has with oil,gas and mining companies.
