The long talked about Kenya/Uganda pipeline could have a route mapped out by the middle of July. The pipeline route will allow for a number of milestones to take place in the upstream sector of both countries, such as FIDs on discoveries made.
Two possible routes for the pipeline have been discussed, one would take it through northern Kenya to the coast at Lamu, or the other would see it follow the route of an existing products pipeline further south that would run to the port of Mombasa.
“We told the contractor to do a thorough analysis of the two routes and when it has done the analysis we will be able to meet and make a decision,” Joseph Njoroge, the principal secretary at Kenya’s energy ministry was cited by Reuters as saying.
Njoroge said the analysis by Japan’s Toyota Tsusho should be completed in about two weeks, and a decision by Uganda and Kenya could happen a week or two later.
