The project has 22 of its planned 31 wells ready, with some extending more than seven kilometres underground. The wells are at different stages of completion and perforation, while pumping and flowback activities continue.

The proposed Tanga Regional Energy Hub will serve as a centre for petroleum storage, refining, logistics, trading and distribution, while complementing Uganda's planned 60,000-barrel-per-day Hoima refinery. It is also expected to strengthen regional energy security, expand fuel exports and boost cross-border trade throughout East and Central Africa.

“Jobs will not be a problem. In our refinery in Nigeria, we employ people from many nationalities, and East Africans will also benefit from this project,” Dangote noted.
