In 2021, Mozambique had the highest reserves-to-production ratio in Africa, at 912 years. Tanzania had the second highest ratio on the continent, which was 788 years. A reserves-to-production ratio gives an estimate of how long operational natural gas fields will remain productive, assuming that no new reserves are discovered, and taking into account only the 2021 production rates.
