Total to dictate the direction of Kenya's oil to the overseas market

[joto la jiwe]

On your last point, that is not my school of thought, it's the worldwide oil sector school of thought whose link I gave you. Even your wikipedia source follows the same. So you want to change their thinking and publications? Edit their links? Discredit all research done or what? If Uganda is an anomaly so what? You wanna force Kenya to fit in their narrative despite oil explorers coming with different findings?

And I gave a hint on what to search specifically but bado you want us to go back and forth with this link stuff. OK here they are then. All the major oil firms doing fracking, the most common EOR form

San Joaquin Valley - Wikipedia

I think something wrong here, I have gone through all these links, there is no single line that mention about Tertiary stage of extraction leave alone that they are currently doing it, if you have seen a line in any of this links please send that single link to me and tell me where that line is, I repeat again, I am confident there is no a company with the current price that is performing enhanced stage, you are just assuming.

About Uganda, the same company which are drilling oil in Uganda are the one who are going to drill in Kenya, unless you decide to allow Turkana resident to use local tools to drill your oil, but if you depend on Total, Tullow and Chinese, their technology can catch up to 30%, remember Uganda has six times as much oil as Kenya, if there would be possibility of increasing the volume during extraction, Total wouldn't even care about Kenya's oil, because is too little compared to more than 5B barrels which will be unextracted from Uganda, that means the amount of oil which will remain underground in Uganda is five times of total discoveries of Kenya.

So if you think Total company is fool for not be able to get more than 30% in Uganda, are the same people coming to Kenya, wait and you will see if they can get 50% In Kenya.

They all talk about fracking, the most common EOR method. That's why I asked you to research on fracking. I guess I should have started with a link of fracking. here's one below
Introduction - What is hydraulic fracturing? | What Is Fracking

Then despite me giving you close to 5 links now supporting my argument on recoverable oil, which you're vehemently objecting, you haven't even given one supporting your claim. It's only natural that you reciprocate by giving a link showing that on average, all global oil finds (especially by Total, Tullow and the chinese) only have 30% as recoverable.

Thank you very much for increasing my knowledge on this method, this link just explains what the method is, the same way wikipedia does, but the point remains, which company is performing this method at the current price?, outside of USA which country is doing this?, lets be specific, among those three companies which are going to extract oil in Kenya, ie Total, Tullow and CNOOC, which one in which country is using this method currently?

Those companies which are drilling Uganda oil only can do up to 30%, the same same companies which are going to leave behind 5B barrels in Uganda due to lack of technical know how, will be able to extract your little amount of oil?, my advices;
1)Look for new companies which are willing and able to use this method in Kenya, just to increase volume to reach 1B barrels, these companies are not crazy to concentrate with very very little oil in Kenya while leaving billions of oil underground in Uganda
2)Ask Turkana residents to extract your oil using local tools, hope they can do better tha Total, Tullow
3)Discover more oil because the current deposit is too little to make any economic impact
4)Unless one of the above suggestion is doing, 30% of Kenya oil shall be recoverble, therefore your all calculations must based on that, stop deceiving yourselves with money which you don't have

Yah, the link explains in detail what fracking is. Now the 8 links I gave on my last post, the ones you said ain't talking about EOR show how, when and where the major oil companies are doing fracking. Rudi kwa the previous page uzifungue one by one now that you've got a better understanding on fracking. Itakuonyesha fracking by Total, Shell, ExxonMobil, BP, Rozneft, Gazprom, sinopec na in specific oil fields in the US

Now until you give links showing global oil companies can only recover 30% of all/most of their oil finds globally, I'll consider that as your personal perspective and idea. And since I've given several links supporting my argument and you none, I'll thus rest my case on that. Leta links

Ok, i'll repeat one last time basi hoping you'll get the fact that oil to be extracted and sold in Kenya at current oil prices is 750+m barrels, not your I don't know 200m barrels.

Oil exploration and finds in Kenya were done by Africa oil Corp, Tullow oil and Maersk. The latter's oil exploration branch was bought by Total but the transfer of oil fields in Kenya to Total haven't been approved. Now these 3 companies found the gross oil contingent/3C estimate (oil find) at 1.63bn barrels and the unrisked oil contingent/2C estimate (recoverable oil) at 766m barrels. Their report as presented to the GoK is as bellow, compiled by Africa oil Corp, one of the 3 explorers.

So your talk of sijui 30%, sijui local diggers is ill founded Mumbo-Jumbo and strawman tactics. Leta link showing that they put their recoverable oil estimates at 200m barrels. Leta link pia showing recoverable oil worldwide ranges at 30% of all oil finds. If you can't then accept the facts and let's be done with this.

The oil pipeline through Tanzania may not take off after Total acquired the Maersk interests in Kenya oil porfolio. This means Total will not invest in parallel pipelines heading to Indian Ocean. The best way out is to combine the oil into one pipeline to save on costs and enhance efficiency. The easier way will be through Lamu. Watch this space.

Uganda’s oil pipeline venture fit for export

The project is crucial to kick-start Uganda’s oil industry and a major undertaking in Tanzania

27 OCTOBER 2017 - 05:45 ED STODDARD

Picture: ISTOCK

The design of a planned $3.5bn pipeline to pump Ugandan oil through Tanzania for export will be completed in 2017 and will avoid the ecologically sensitive Serengeti National Park, according to a top Ugandan government official.

The project is crucial to kick-start Uganda’s oil industry and would be a major infrastructure undertaking in Tanzania, one of the world’s poorest and least-developed countries. The Serengeti is famed for its wildebeest migration.

The final costs of the pipeline could be revised after the design is completed and environmental impact assessments have started, Ernest Rubondo, executive director of the Petroleum Authority of Uganda, told Reuters on Thursday.

"The front-end engineering and design [FEED] is being completed soon, and it is the designs that actually give you the cost," Rubondo said.

"The estimate is $3.5bn but the FEED will give a more concrete figure," he said, adding that if the cost estimate was revised, it could also happen before the end of the year and it was unlikely to go higher.

French oil major Total has the lead in the project in partnership with China’s CNOOC, Britain’s Tullow Oil and the governments of Uganda and Tanzania, Rubondo said.

This grouping would form a company next year to see the pipeline through and it would decide "what mix of debt and equity will be used to fund it". Asked about ecological concerns, he said: "There are no environmental concerns that can’t be mitigated."

He said: "What most people worry about is that it is going through the Serengeti, but it is far from the Serengeti National Park."
