The Tanzanian Ministry of Energy & Minerals has called for the delay until the parliamentary session in October 2012, when the government will be presented with the natural gas policy.
The move will allow the policy to be ratified before the start of the new roadshow schedule, which is anticipated to start again soon after the Parliamentary ratification.
The bid round data package will be available for review and purchase by September-end.
IOC and other potential Investors in Tanzania will get more time period to evaluate the technical data and assess the prospectivity of the nine blocks on offer.
TPDC is a key player in consultation and preparation of the natural gas policy document.
