EACOP: East African Crude Oil Pipeline

[Deep Sea]

What is the EACOP?
The East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) is a 1,443km crude oil export infrastructure that will transport Uganda’s crude oil from Kabaale in Hoima district to Chongoleani peninsula near Tanga in Tanzania, for export to the international market.
Uganda's crude oil is viscous, waxy and solidifies at room temperature. To transport this oil, therefore, the crude oil pipelines will be heated at a minimum temperature of 50°Celcius and insulated, in order to keep the crude oil in a liquid state. To maintain this operating temperature, the pipeline will be electrically heated along the entire route. The EACOP will be the longest, buried, electrically heated pipeline in the world, once completed.

Uhunye bungled this deal. Ingekuwa easier ku-extract the Turkana oil with this pipeline running through Ke.

But that failure presents an opportunity for a right thinking president; build a modular refinery at Turkana that can feed Kenya's needs and cushion oil prices from the international market.

Hii huwezi blame mtu mmoja, hata wewe if you were to choose where would you go, To Tz with Magufuli whose word was law or with Kenya with our very funny NLC & Judiciary
Away from that, sahii capital investment yeyote in the upstream oil and gas industry zinachunguzwa mbaya sana. Electric cars and solar have joined the energy matrix, gone are the days where cashflows and profits were guaranteed for such projects. I believe this is whats delaying Final Investment Decision (FID)

To Tz with Magufuli whose word was law or with Kenya with our very funny NLC & Judiciary

You are very right.

Lakini, si this 2010 katiba surdled us with so many more thieves? Tulisahau watu ni wale wale: wezi!

Now they want to elect a thieving crew to state house.

You may build the refinery but you would still have to pay international rates for the oil because it belongs to a private entity.

Minus shipment costs, I suppose.

Ah, I meant a government owned refinery, or a joint venture between the energy sector parastatals.
