Tanzania plans to complete Uganda oil pipeline in 2020
Dar es Salaam: Tanzania plans to complete construction of a crude oil pipeline from Uganda in 2020 at an estimated cost of $3.5 billion, its energy ministry said on Monday.

Uganda said in April it would build a pipeline, to ship out crude from its fields in the Albertine rift basin, through Tanzania rather than Kenya, which had wanted to secure the export route.

Picking a route is vital for oil firms to make final investment decisions on developing reserves found in Uganda and Kenya, which are among a string of hydrocarbon finds on Africa's eastern seaboard. Tanzania has found natural gas offshore.

"The pipeline will have a length of 1,443 kilometres... and is expected to be completed in 2020," Tanzania's ministry of energy and minerals said in a statement.


Tanzania said three oil firms operating in Uganda - London-listed Tullow Oil, France's Total and China's CNOOC - have all agreed to participate in the construction of the pipeline, with building work scheduled to start in June 2017.

Land-locked Uganda found crude oil reserves estimated by government geologists at 3.5 billion barrels in Hoima near the border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) in 2006 but production has repeatedly been pushed back.

The jointly developed pipeline will carry Ugandan crude oil to Tanzania's Indian Ocean port of Tanga for export.

2020 for a pipeline,,,,, huko ntakua nilioa , 2020 is the expected year to start exportation, if no hoccups or delays happen, Ug discoverd oil 2005, starts to export by 2020 throu an already existing port in tanga.

Kenya discovers oil in 2011, starts building a birth in 2013 expected to be complete 2018, builds a road where there was non , and starts exporting via road at least by 2018 as they look for the pipeline option??????? I feel lucky and I like my option, we still got the edge in this region, whether you discover enough LPG for a life time, whether you build a pipeline.... we will trmp you at every turn

Acha kufananisha mambo ya maana na ujinga wenu, Uganda will be able to export zaidi ya 200,000 barrels/day while Kenya will barely be exporting 2000barrels/day.

u build 'birth' nowadays in kenya? No wonders Uganda left u people...kwa uwongo mmezidi and yet in 2016 no berth existed at Lamu! Ama monsoon winds iliezua na upepo hiyo berth?

Hii pipeline ya Tanga itaanza lini?

Jombaa unataka kuimba taarabu au?
Unataka tulinganishe completion ya project zenye ukubwa tofauti namna hii, kwa lugha rahisi ni Kenya hadi 2018 hatakuwa na miundombinu yoyote ya maana ya usafirisha wa mafuta ghafi kwa ujazo mkubwa wakati Uganda hadi 2020 atakuwa miundombinu ya kutosha kusafirisha mafuta ghafi nje ya nchi.

Usiendelee kufananisha vitu vya maana na upuuzi, Uganda watakuwa na uwezo wa kusafirisha nje ya nchi 200 times of what Kenya will be able to do.

Wake me up when construction begins

soma hio aya ya mwisho hapo ujaribu kuelewa where am driving this argument...

umeona hapo nimenza na kupeana maika toka ug ipate mafuta na muaka inaexpect kuanza ku export..... if you read between the lines you will get that my point wasnt even about how much oil or what capacity or not even about how much oil......... am merely stating that we still maintain the edge when it comes to taking and turning oporrtunity into something productive within a very short time as kenyans, so am still feeling lucky (like how a gambler feels lucky) as a kenyan, you can discover all the oil you want, you can discover all the LPG gas you want........ and you can have mega projects for those discoveries and take your time in turningthem to productivity, but the day Kenya makes her own discoveries, you will sieze to exist because we move like the wind once we start
..... and even if we never make any significant discoveries, you better make very good use of your discoveries cause kenya has learnt the art of staying ahead and still maintain an edge in this region, musishangae siku moja mkapata nyinyi mko na gas, sisi tina import na bado matumizi ni sawasawa

Hebu tuelewesheni..Tanzania ndo tunajenga ? Au bomba litapita Tanzania na wajenzi ni wenye bomba Uganda?
