ADDIS ABABA, March 27 (Reuters) - Ethiopia expects to start producing and exporting natural gas from under-developed reserves in its southeast by 2017, Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn said on Friday.

Several firms have already acquired licenses to explore more than 40 blocks throughout Ethiopia in the past four years, the vast majority of them in the southeastern Somali Region.

"Studies show the existence of natural gas reserves in several places, and they will all be gradually developed," Hailemariam told a press conference in the Ethiopian capital.

Officials from the mines ministry say the Calub and Hilala fields in the Ogaden Basin have deposits of 4.7 trillion cubic feet of gas and 13.6 million barrels of associated liquids, both discovered in the 1970s but not yet exploited.

"For the time being, a Chinese firm is carrying out activities on the Calub and Hilala reserves," Hailemariam said. "In the next two years, we plan to start exporting and using the natural gas from these areas."

Hailemariam did not give further details, but China's GCL-Poly Petroleum Investments signed a production sharing deal with Ethiopia's mines ministry in late 2013 to develop both fields.

The prime minister was speaking a month after the Horn of Africa country signed an agreement with neighbouring Djibouti to construct a pipeline stretching from the same region to the Red Sea state's port.

"GCL-Poly Petroleum Investments will fund the pipeline that will transport the Ethiopia gas to Djibouti for a total cost of more than $4 billion, of which $3 billion will be invested in the Djibouti section," said Mohamed Nour, a communications adviser at Djibouti's energy ministry.

A number of firms have filed requests to explore oil and gas in the country's Abay, Mekelle, Metemma, Gambela and the Southern Rift sedimentary basins in addition to the Ogaden, including Tullow Oil and SouthWest Energy.

Ethiopia's Somali Region used to be plagued by security concerns, with the Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF) waging a low-key struggle for independence.

Analysts say the rebels have been severely weakened over the years by government forces, but warn they can still hamper development with hit-and-run attacks. (Additional reporting by Abdourahim Arteh in Djibouti; Editing by George Obulutsa and Crispian Balmer)

Kenya has inked a deal with Ethiopia to construct a crude oil pipeline to run from the coastal town of Lamu to Addis Ababa months after Uganda chose to export her oil through Tanzania

President Uhuru Kenyatta made the pact with Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn in Nairobi as part of joint infrastructure projects to integrate the region under the Lamu Port-Southern Sudan -Ethiopia Transport (Lapsset) corridor.

Ethiopia is eyeing gas production and exportation starting next year following discoveries.


“The two leaders witnessed the signing of bilateral agreements including a pact on the oil pipeline that will run from Lamu to Addis Ababa under the Lapsset project,” a statement from State House said.

Uganda had initially expressed interest for a joint pipeline with Kenya but later opted to take its oil to overseas markets through Tanzania’s Tanga port.

Kenya is set to start construction of the $2.1 billion crude oil pipeline to be completed in 2021, according to Ministry of Energy and Petroleum.

Overall, Kenya and Ethiopia entered into five pacts, including cooperation in sports, cross-border livestock, health and education.
