Orca Energy Group has announced that on 3 August 2020 it signed a contract with China Petroleum and Technology Development Company (CPTDC) for the design, supply, installation and commissioning of natural gas compressors within the Songas gas processing facility on Songo Songo Island, Tanzania.

The compressors will work in harmony with the previously installed refrigeration to address declining reservoir pressure and ensure maximum production levels can be sustained, subject to demand, through to the end of the Production Sharing Agreement in 2026. The compressors are forecast to cost a total of US$38 million of which circa $6 million was expended in 2019 and US$19 million will be incurred over the remainder of 2020. The compressors are scheduled to be operational by the end of 2Q22.
