Project Background:
The East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) project includes the construction and operation of 1445 km of insulated 24” inch buried pipeline through Uganda and Tanzania, 8 stations with the first one located at Kabaale, Uganda and a marine export terminal at Chongoleani, near Tanga Port. It encompasses as well block valves, fiber optic cable and high voltage lines to supply power to the various trace heating stations. The pipeline and facilities will be designed to export the Lake Albert crude oil reserves.
A 30m wide pipeline corridor with some temporary work space will be acquired to construct, install and maintain the pipeline and associated facilities throughout its operational phase and land will be acquired to support the development of above-ground installations (AGI).
