Namibia sees 1st gas from Kudu field by 2013

CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - Namibia plans to produce the first gas from its Kudu offshore field by 2013, more than three decades after it was discovered by U.S oil major Chevron, the country's petroleum commissioner said on Wednesday.

"There is definitely a new impetus... 2013 is the date (we are targeting) for first gas to be produced," Immanuel Mulunga, Namibia's petroleum commissioner in the Ministry of Mines and Energy told Reuters on the sidelines of an African energy conference.

Mulunga said the governement was considering selling the gas exclusively to raise money on royalties and taxes, if an ambitious $1 billion Kudu-gas-to-power project failed to be commercialise soon.
