The Ugandan and Tanzanian governments have announced that the first exports of crude oil from Uganda’s oilfields via the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (Eacop) will take place in October this year, with the project 79 percent complete as of the end of December 2025.
The two countries’ Energy ministers disclosed this on January 5 during a high-level stakeholder meeting in Dar es Salaam, where they reviewed progress and coordination ahead of Uganda’s first oil exports.
