Mr. Zhang Jichang, Vice President of China Petroleum Pipeline Engineering Corporation (CPPE-AD) met with Mr. Ernest Rubondo, Executive Director of the Petroleum Authority of Uganda during his supervisory tour of the East African Crude Oil Pipeline construction in Uganda and Tanzania. Welding activities have started in both Uganda and Tanzania. 8 welders from Uganda and Tanzania are in China for a 4-month specialised training in pipeline construction. On 30th September, Uganda received 9 trucks of coated line pipes at MCPY 4 in Kyotera District for the East African Crude Oil Pipeline section. Mr. Rubondo praised the progress while emphasising the importance of involving Ugandan companies in the project for skills development and long-term contribution. #CreatingLastingValue #UgOilJourney

Another milestone in the construction of the East African Crude Oil Pipeline has been reached with the first delivery of nine trucks loaded with coated line pipes at Main Camp and Pipe Yard (MCPY) 4 in Kyotera District, Uganda. The coated line pipes will be transported to designated storage sites and laid along the 1,443-kilometer heat-traced crude oil pipeline. The East African Crude Oil Pipeline will transport Uganda’s crude oil from the Hoima Terminal in Uganda to Tanga Port in Tanzania, where it will be exported to international markets. To date, the project has received 800 kilometres of line pipes, which are currently undergoing coating and insulation at the Nzega Coating Yard in Tanzania. Mr. Ali Ssekatawa, Director, Legal and Corporate Affairs at the Petroleum Authority of Uganda highlighted the significance of this development, stating that the arrival of the pipes marks a key milestone in the construction of the East African Crude Oil Pipeline. Civil works are well underway, including pumping stations, main camps, pipe yards, and storage facilities along the route. Plus, the Nzega Coating Plant is now fully operational! 🚧📷 Excitingly, the Ugandan section will be 100% carbon neutral, powered by 80MW of solar and hydro energy! 📷📷 Efforts to establish similar renewable energy capacity in Tanzania are also in progress. #CreatingLastingValue #UgOilJourney
