TANZANIA’S LEGAL AND REGULATORY FRAMEWORK FOR OIL AND GAS SEMINARTanzania has a long history with the extractives sector. Blessed with vast mineral resources, Tanzania’s mining industry has long been a critical contributor to the National Gross Domestic Product. In 1974, Tanzania discovered large natural gas reserves in Songo Songo. Only after 30 years did the Tanzanian Government earn its first revenues from the Gas Discovered. Recently, world class discoveries have put Tanzania on the global map. The discoveries will see increased investment in the Country with projections that the natural gas industry will be worth over several billion dollars. This will come after numerous contract negotiations and legal and regulatory angles that present an opportunity for legal practitioners to capitalize and citizens to understand.

For this reason, the Law School of Tanzania, Dr. Eduardo G. Pereira an international law expert and Oil and Energy Services have partnered to conduct a two-day Seminar covering the legal aspects and the expected opportunities for legal practitioners interested in playing a significant role in the oil and gas industry in Tanzania and East Africa.

Attendants will receive certification and earn CLE points.
