Total’s bid for a Tanzania pipeline route rejected

/28 Comments/in /by

 

 

bdsouthsudanoil1Kenya and Uganda have rejected a push by Total France to have a proposed crude oil pipeline, being developed by the two countries, pass through Tanzania.

Total has been on a publicity offensive to have the route changed — from Hoima in Uganda via northern Kenya to Lamu on the Indian Ocean — in favour of another from Hoima via central Tanzania to the port of Tanga on the Indian Ocean.

Industry sources said Total accuses its partner in the Uganda oilfield, Tullow, of having vested interests in the pipeline passing through northern Kenya, where the UK company has prospects of pumping oil.

“The oil companies can have their concerns on the Northern Corridor and agree to develop an alternative route for the pipeline just the same way the two governments had their concerns on the southern routes and agreed on the low-cost, low-tariff route, which is the northern one,” said Bashir Hangi, communications officer at the Petroleum Exploration and Production Department of Uganda’s Ministry of Energy.

Technocrats from the two countries held a meeting in Nairobi last week to plan the construction of the pipeline, agreement of which was one of the key outcomes of a meeting between Kenya’s President Uhuru Kenyatta and Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni last month.

The two presidents directed government officials to fast-track arrangements towards construction of the pipeline.

“Uganda is already engaged in serious discussions with Kenya on the way forward, especially on the conditions given to develop the pipeline,” said Mr Hangi, adding that no oil company had approached Uganda with a proposal for the the southern route.

Media reports had said that oil companies were in discussions with both the Ugandan and Tanzanian governments to have the route diverted to Tanzania.

Total’s corporate affairs manager Ahlem Friga, however, said the company was still evaluating all options — Tanzania being one of them.

Daniel Kiptoo, a legal advisor on petroleum matters at Kenya’s Ministry of Energy and Petroleum, said the two governments could not change the route when discussions had advanced so far.

Two studies — one by Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda and another by the oil companies — were conducted to evaluate which route was the most viable, before the governments opted for the northern Kenya route.

“The findings of the study showed that the northern route was more cost-effective in terms of time and distance than the southern route,” said Mr Kiptoo.

The study estimated that the Northern Corridor route will cost the two governments a total of $4.7 billion while the Southern Corridor route would cost a total of $5.26 billion. In terms of the distance, the 1,500km northern route is shorter than the southern route, which is 1,544km.

It is estimated that oil companies will pay $15.2 per barrel to move the commodity through the 1,500km northern pipeline and $15.6 per barrel on the southern route.

THOUSANDS of residents in Zanzibar will have access to clean and safe water, thanks to the drilling of 100 wells at a total cost of US $5.6 million dollars (about 11.7bn/-) donated by Rak Gas LLC, a company from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) involved in the exploration of gas and oil in the islands.

The company handed over one of the wells at a ceremony graced by Zanzibar Second Vice-President, Mr Seif Ali Iddi, yesterday, in Chumbuni constituency, Urban West region. The water project was undertaken in two phases in which 50 wells were drilled in each constituency by Basix East Africa, a member of Basix International Limited.

“Each of the well has the capacity to produce between 17,000 and 20,000 litres of clean and safe water per day. We have as well installed water pumps at all the wells in addition to the construction of six storage tanks in some areas,” said Basix east Africa Managing Director, Mr Amani Mworia.

In his remarks, Mr Iddi thanked the company for the contribution and urged residents to maintain them, in addition to conserving other water sources in the islands of Unguja and Pemba. “Water is life.

Whoever assists you to get water is a friend indeed. My regards to the leader of Ras Al Khaimah State, Sheikh Saud bin Saqr al Qasimi, for his contribution in the implementation of the project,” he stated.

He said that before the Zanzibar Revolution of 1964 water problems were serious, but the situation had changed gradually as many people now could access the precious liquid.

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Rak Gas Chief Executive Officer, Mr Kamal Ataya, pledged to drill 50 more wells and asked the government to provide it with land to undertake the initiative.

“Once we are provided with land we will immediately embark on the project. Apart from water the company also supports education and health sectors, as well as construction of mosques,” Mr Ataya remarked.

Zanzibar Minister of Lands, Housing, Water and Energy, Mr Abdallah Ramadhani Shabani, was upbeat that water shortage in the islands would soon become history.

“The water wells were drilled in all the five regions of Zanzibar the well we are receiving today at Chumbuni is among those donated by Rak Gas,” the minister explained.

For his part, Zanzibar Water Authority (ZAWA) Director General, Dr Mustafa Ali Garu, said the authority would ensure that the wells were well maintained and protected in order to benefit all the people.
