Tbh. I think RNS could have been more enthusiasm for the process of RFP.

[maverick247] 13/8/2018 12:35

Great news

[wheniamfree] 13/8/2018 12:35

And a voice from the gods.

RNS in and all happy with points clarified, the submission is going ahead.

Drilling begins in the coming weeks.

Game on.

pre tender meetings are a standard good practice. this does not avoid poor submissions being made or issues arising.Hopefully lessons learned though given the short time frame for this attempt.

[ftangftang] 13/8/2018 07:57

yes a positive move by the Bots government to call a meeting and make sure there is no chance that the requirements for the tender could be misunderstood

shows that the gov want to get this process moving without a hitch
imo

Don’t be so hasty - if that were the case I suspect the share price would show trending.

[wheniamfree] 13/8/2018 06:19

Well no RNS to confirm of any issues with the submission process so it looks all good for game on in the coming weeks.

There are World Bank and IFC surveys and then there is reality on the ground... This doesn’t read like a country at peace with itself. I believe I said before Khama’s 8 years were not good for the country....

Napoleon, already have done as the very occasional post that adds value is drowned out by the donkey and friends farce. Recommended.

[donkey40] 12/8/2018 14:00

Why don’t you post some comments then - rather than criticise me and the rest. The respective agenda’s here are obvious to anyone with a brain: one side talking nothing but over-exhuberant rubbish interspersed with a few valid comments. The other side trying to keep them in check and a degree of 2-sides discussion equally interspersed with a few valid points.

At least on advfn there is 2 sides being put forward. LSE is 100% pure cheerleading, which given the way things have turned out is simply ridiculous.

And in case you didn’t already know, or are not part of it, they have their own Twitter group reaching out to new followers all the while. The agenda is obvious; social media marketing and hyping at its worst !!

I'm on the verge of filtering those who acknowledge donkey's existence.
Staving him out is the only solution,
& I find equally annoying having to skim over the responses to a waste of time.

Great find; great article. Tlou would have us believe they are the only gas play in Southern Africa. This lets us know there is lots of gas - all around.

Southern Africa: SADC Explores Use of Natural Gas for Regional Development
By Kumbirai Nhongo
Southern Africa is exploring ways of harnessing the potential of the massive reserves of natural gas that exist in the region.

Chairperson of the SADC Energy Ministers, Hon. Jeff Radebe told a recent Ministerial Workshop on the Regional Gas Infrastructure and Market Development that harnessing natural gas would improve the energy situation in the region, and contribute to the regional energy mix, which is dominated by coal.

Southern Africa has some of the largest deposits of natural gas in the world.

Angola has natural gas reserves estimated at 11 trillion cubic feet (tcf), while Mozambique has more than 180 tcf of gas discovered and there is potential for this to be doubled by 2030.

The United Republic of Tanzania has made significant gas discoveries and currently has more than 57 tcf of proven gas reserves.

In Namibia, there is about 1.3 tcf of proven gas reserves with an estimated potential of 9 tcf.

Development of the Kudu gas project is expected to address some of the energy challenges in Namibia.

Gas produced from the Kudu field will be transported through a 170-km pipeline to a power station that will be built and situated at Uubvlei, approximately 25 kilometres north of Oranjemund in southern Namibia.

The National Petroleum Corporation and its partners including NamPower will be responsible for the drilling of production wells, installation of sub-sea equipment and the floating production system, and gas production, as well as conditioning and transportation of the gas to the power plant.

Botswana, South Africa and Zimbabwe have unconventional gas reserves in significant quantities in the form of coal-bed methane and shale gas.

To fully realize this potential, there is need for SADC to develop innovative methods of exploring the resource.

"The natural gas reserves within the SADC region present a significant opportunity for industrialisation that can boost economic growth, create much needed jobs and attract new investments in the region and increase significantly energy access," Radebe, the South African Energy Minister, told a regional workshop held in June in Johannesburg.

"This enormous opportunity can only be realised if the region develops the requisite gas processing, transportation and distribution infrastructure to supply the regional market so that SADC will not only limit itself to being a gas exporter."

In this regard, one of the plans being explored by SADC is the possibility of establishing a SADC natural gas industrial complex designed to interconnect the gas production value chain in the region.

This will involve making significant investments to set up gas processing, transportation and distribution infrastructure that would efficiently link gas production centres to local and regional energy markets.

Examples of successful regional gas projects in Africa include the gas pipeline from Mozambique (Temane/Pande) to South Africa (Secunda) as well as the West African Gas Pipeline, involving Nigeria, Benin, Togo and Ghana.

In addition to developing a natural gas industrial complex, there is need for SADC to put in place viable and vibrant "policy and regulatory frameworks to make the development of this infrastructure a reality as well as attract investment.

"The economic benefits of gas extraction, infrastructure and market development in the SADC region is to stimulate productive activity and contribute positively to gross domestic product (GDP)," Radebe said.

The energy ministers noted that exploitation of the vast reserves of natural gas, shale gas and coal-bed methane that are available in SADC Member States would result in significant job opportunities and contribute billions of dollars to the regional GDP per year.

Natural gas has various potential uses in SADC. It can be used to generate electricity or as chemical feedstock in industrial processes or as fuel for vehicles. Another potential use of gas is in the production of fertilizers.

Therefore, the exploration of natural gas, presents a significant opportunity for SADC to address its energy challenges and move forward the industrialisation agenda and deepen integration.

One of the key advantages of gas it that is has a low carbon emission profile, making it a cleaner energy source when compared with other fossil fuels. In addition to this, it is also affordable, secure and reliable. SADC Today

“This is a big deal for the Bots Gov to break the current BPC monopoly and is a chance to genuinely light the blue touch paper for them economically by taking control of their own power generation and encouraging some healthy capitalism.

I believe if we can respect due process and hold our nerve the result will be a great one for all involved on all sides.

Good luck to Tony and team, TLOU and Botswana - we’ve got the power ;)“

How sweet. I pretty much puked on reading this.

Some people will understand the relevance of this; others will think it is Donkey seeking attention. Donkey suspects this has still a long way to run, sadly. The cheerleaders think the Govt is supportive, corrupt free, on-side and fast tracking CBM. Guess time will tell chaps ....

“On ascending the presidency on April 1 this year, Masisi inherited a deeply criminalised government and his attempts to decriminalize it are being fiercely resisted by senior BDP figures who fear that the net is closing in on them as the new president wages a massive anti-corruption crusade. Such crusade is so extensive that some ministers are said to be subjects of criminal investigations being undertaken by the Directorate on Corruption and Economic Crime. An anti-Masisi faction, with tentacles that reach as far as parliament and cabinet itself, has emerged from within the BDP itself. Its short-term goal is to resist Masisi’s aggressive reform agenda and its long-term one is to oust him as the party presidential candidate for the 2019 general election. Opposition Umbrella For Democratic Change operatives have reportedly been roped in to help get rid of Masisi under the guise of doing legitimate opposition politics by using legitimate parliamentary and legal processes. In the case of the MP in question, this plot takes the form of him using parliament as a launching pad to attack, armed with information supplied by his BDP handlers and working towards ousting Masisi from office.“

PS the purpose of filtering someone is so you don’t read what they post and you don’t get bothered by them.

So you keep saying you have filtered me, yet you keep replying to my posts, or other people posts that reply to my posts, saying either you have filtered me or saying don’t listen to him as he has multiple alias and multiple bans. Which makes nonsense - coz you filtered me and don’t want to read my comments.

So come on lad, get consistent.

In any event, I know you don’t have me filtered coz you are too worried about what I am going to say next. No way are you going to give me free reign to ‘corrupt’; other posters re your beloved Tlou.

You and Buzz have a thing going on to make sure if I post, you both post back trying to drown me out. It is so obvious to me and everyone - so come on, stop being a silly child. Man up, admit you look forward to our daily sparring...., I sustain you during the days, you need me and filtering me out and not reading my posts would leave a gaping hole in your very existence.

We are joined at the hip, you and I - one of us will be right and the other will be miserable - I know where the smart money is currently invested .....
