Kenyan Development Plans Progress

Monday, August 3, 2015

Africa Oil Corp. and its partner in Kenya, Tullow Oil, are making progress in drafting a field development plan for their discoveries in the South Lokichar basin. Africa Oil said discussions are under way with the government regarding the submission of a draft and are progressing positively.

There is also progress being made on the East African pipeline route to export oil from Lake Albert in Uganda and the South Lokichar Basin in Kenya. The company said progress has gained pace in recent months. The governments of Uganda and Kenya are working closely together and the pipeline studies undertaken by a joint government-appointed independent technical consultant have progressed well.

The government’s decision on the pipeline route is expected in Q3 2015. The overall ambition is to achieve a combined project sanction of the export pipeline and Kenya upstream projects by the end of 2016.
