Natural Gas found in Kajiado Kenya

[Jay456watt]

Residents in Kajiado County have accidentally discovered a mysterious odourless gas during a borehole sinking project.

The contractors drilling for water discovered the gas at a depth of 200 meters.

Experts are yet to collect samples to ascertain the identity of the gas but the residents are upbeat that the flammable gas could change their fortunes.

The gas accidentally discovered at Inkorkirdinga Farm at Kipeto village is suspected to be Methane gas which is generated by rotting vegetation.

The residents are hopeful that the gas will be viable in energy production and turn around their fortunes.

Kenya has had various natural gas discoveries through exploration by companies like Tullow oil in places like Lamu, Turkana and Marsabit.

In May this year, Kenya struck a second fresh oil find in Turkana fields taking the country closer to hitting a billion barrels of recoverable reserves.

The accidental discovery in Kajiado however remains a mystery as experts are yet to visit the site to ascertain the identity of the gas.

Sure but a feasibility study must be conducted prior to commercialization if any...we must know how much gas there is first...

I understand that....I am hoping there is a lot that can generate power to serve a large region...Any form of energy deposit that is usable uplifts the economy of a region...lets hope for the best...if it happens not to be the case we shall move on...
