Seismic data interpretation and Resource Evaluation of the extensive 3D seismic survey acquired in 2022 were conducted, driving revisions to the Field Development Plan (FDP) to optimize production potential and identify new areas for drilling of exploration and development wells.

In May 2024, the Government of the United Republic of Tanzania granted a 25-year development license to TPDC, ARA Petroleum and Ndovu Resources in order to proceed with development of the field.

The Ntorya Gas Field will be developed in two phases:

1. Phase I includes production from three wells, namely Ntorya-1 and Ntorya-2 wells, along with Chikumbi-1 well, which is expected to be drilled  later in 2026. This phase targets an initial production rate of 40–60 million standard cubic feet per day (MMscfd) of natural gas.
2. Phase II will involve the drilling of four additional wells to raise production to 140 MMscfd.

A 35 km, 14-inch diameter pipeline will be constructed to connect the Ntorya Field to the Madimba Natural Gas Processing Plant. In July 2025, TPDC awarded the EPC contract to China Petroleum Pipeline (CPP) and China Petroleum Technology & Development Corporation (CPTDC), marking a key milestone. The project has since progressed into the engineering phase.
