Just as Kenya is gearing up for the start of its early oil pilot scheme (EOPS) in September, a civil society platform on oil and gas, KCSPOG, has called on the government to cancel the EOPS. The reasoning behind the request to stop the EOPS is that it would result in the loss of revenue for Kenya.
KCSPOG said the implementation of the government’s plan would cost public coffers around $39 million. The group told local media, The Star, that the pilot scheme was a risky and uncommon practice in the industry.
The pilot scheme was originally to start last month, however the government delayed the process of producing 2,000 bpd for export by truck and rail until adequate legal framework is in place.
