Uganda, Tanzania, oil firms sign accords to build $3.5bn pipeline

Oilfield
13-04-2021
Uganda, Tanzania and oil firms Total and CNOOC on Sunday signed agreements that will kickstart the construction of a $3.5 billion crude pipeline to help ship crude from fields in western Uganda to international markets. 

France’s Total and China’s CNOOC own Uganda’s oil fields after Britain’s Tullow exited the country last year. 
The signatories have now agreed to “to start investment in the construction of infrastructure that will produce and transport the crude oil”, said Robert Kasande, permanent secretary at Uganda’s ministry of energy. 

Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni and Tanzania’s new leader Samia Suluhu Hassan attended the signing ceremony. 

Uganda discovered crude reserves in the Albertine rift basin in the west of the country near the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2006. Government geologists estimated overall reserves at 6 billion barrels. 

However, the landlocked east African nation needs a pipeline to transport the crude to international markets. 

The planned East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP), with a length of 1 445 kilometres (898 miles), will run from the oilfields to Tanzania’s Indian Ocean seaport of Tanga. 

Uganda’s crude is highly viscous, which means it needs to be heated to be kept liquid enough to flow. 

Total said EACOP could potentially be the longest electrically heated crude oil pipeline in the world. 

The pipeline has met resistance from environmentalists who argue it will threaten ecologically sensitive areas along its route, including wildlife reserves and water catchment areas for Lake Victoria. 

About 263 non-governmental organisations (NGOs) from around the world have urged the chief executives of 25 banks not to extend loans to fund the pipeline. 

The project, they say, would pose immense threats to local communities, water supplies, and biodiversity in Uganda, Tanzania, Democratic Republic of Congo and Kenya.
