Three logistics companies namely Prime Fuels, Multiple Hauliers, Oilfield Movers have been awarded the early oil pilot scheme logistics contract that will see them truck 2000 barrels a day of crude oil to the Kenya Petroleum Refineries based in Mombasa.<\/p>\n

The three companies will each be involved in the EOPS programme with Prime Fuels leasing out insulated containers<\/a>\/tanktainers each having a minimum fluid capacity of 25,000 litres while Multiple Hauliers and Oilfield Movers will transport <\/a>the crude oil to Mombasa starting June making Kenya the first oil exporter in East Africa.<\/p>\n

The programme is under the Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) which in March signed a 3 year lease agreement<\/a> with Kenya Petroleum Refineries Limited (KPRL allowing Kenya Pipeline to use the facilities of KPRL for the Early Oil Pilot Scheme Project.<\/p>\n

The project has been criticized<\/a> as a mere public relation exercise by pundits due to its loss making status although the government has defended the decision saying<\/a> it will provide much needed technical well data\u00a0 ahead of the full field development stage.<\/p>\n

The award also follows the signing of an agreement<\/a> between the Kenyan government and the joint venture partners namely Tullow Oil, Africa Oil and Maersk Oil and Gas in March.<\/p>\n

The three firms will over a three year period transport over two million barrels of oil from Lokichar via road with the three year contracts valued at an estimated 1.5 billion shillings.<\/p>\n

Trucking is expected to commence later this month with the first offloading for export expected in Mid June.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
