Kenya will start the construction of an 865-kilometer (538-mile) crude oil pipeline linking fields in its northern region to a new port being built along its Indian Ocean coastline within two years, a government official said.
The government is evaluating bids for the pipeline’s design and will award a so-called front-end engineering design contract in October, Ministry of Energy and Petroleum Principal Secretary Andrew Kamau said.
