What is happening
Aminex (CDI): Ntorya gas field development – Revised programme agreed; execution pending. ['Revised programme agreed; execution pending']
- In short
- Ntorya development has been in dispute since Ndovu's notice over APT not implementing the approved 2026 budget. A government-backed schedule on 26 August kept first gas in December 2026 and preserved CH-1. The half-year report confirms the programme, with the pipeline about 95% laid and up to US$75m gross budgeted. The 2027 programme still needs TPDC and PURA approval, and the interim report says the programme must be judged on delivery.
