Uganda is taking a closer look at sending its crude oil through Tanzania after stepping back from an accord to run a pipeline through Kenya as the landlocked East African nation searches for the cheapest export route.
The government signed a memorandum of understanding with the Tanzania Petroleum Development Corp. and Total SA’s exploration and production arm to study an alternate route for the pipeline, Uganda’s Energy Ministry said in a statement. “The objective is to select a route that will result in the lowest unit transportation cost,” according to the statement published Monday.
