The owners of the 1443km East African Crude Oil Pipeline (Eacop) say they want to deliver the project within 15 months.
Eacop is a $5 billion infrastructure project meant to transport 230,000 barrels of oil per day at peak production from oilfields in western Uganda to the Chongoleani peninsula near Tanga Port in Tanzania. Laying of the pipeline is expected to start “this summer”, TotalEnergies said last month.
