Uganda: Pipeline progress

Uganda expects to complete front-end engineering design (Feed) work on the oil export pipeline to Tanzania’s Tanga port in the next couple of weeks and take a final investment decision (FID) by year-end or early next year, ready for an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) tender process next year. Acting permanent secretary at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development Robert Kasande told African Energy that Feed for the upstream projects would take a little longer but the ministry was still aiming for FID by year-end and EPC next year.
