#OilFacts Did you know that once completed, the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (@EACOP_ ) will be the longest buried, electrically heated pipeline in the world? Stretching a distance of 1,433km from Hoima in Uganda to Chongoleani peninsula in Tanzania, the pipeline will cover ten districts in Uganda and will go through 8 regions (24 districts) in Tanzania. It will be electrically heated, insulated and maintained at a minimum temperature of 50°Celcius to transport Uganda’s waxy crude oil in a liquid state. Design and construction of the Pipeline will take 36 months to complete after the Final Investment Decision (FID). #EACOP #PipelineFacts

📍 Where will the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (@EACOP_ ) pass? Stretching from Hoima, Uganda, to Tanga, Tanzania, the @EACOP_ will cover a total distance of 1,443km across two countries. 🇺🇬 In Uganda, the pipeline will span 296km, passing through 10 districts: Hoima, Kikuube, Kakumiro, Kyankwanzi, Mubende, Gomba, Sembabule, Lwengo, Kyotera, and Rakai, covering 25 sub-counties. 🇹🇿 In Tanzania, it will extend 1,147km, traversing 8 regions: Kagera, Geita, Shinyanga, Tabora, Singida, Dodoma, Manyara, and Tanga, and passing through 24 districts. As one of East Africa's largest infrastructure projects, EACOP is designed to facilitate crude oil transportation while contributing to socio-economic development, local employment opportunities, and enhanced cross-border cooperation between Uganda and Tanzania. #EACOP #UGOilJourney #CreatingLastingValue

🇺🇬 Why is Uganda building BOTH a Refinery and the @EACOP_ ? Uganda’s oil plan is about balance: refining oil at home and selling crude abroad. 🔹 The Refinery (Hoima, 60,000 barrels/day) Provides fuel for Ugandans Creates jobs & supports local industries Cuts the money spent on importing fuel 🔹 The @EACOP_ (Hoima–Tanga, 219,000 barrels/day) Opens Uganda to international markets Brings in revenue for the country & investors ⚡ Together, they make Uganda’s oil sector stronger: If one project pauses for maintenance, the other keeps production steady. Uganda benefits both at home and abroad. 👉 In short: Refinery = energy security. Pipeline = global profits. Uganda wins on both fronts. #CreatingLastingValue #PAUAt10 #UGOilJourney

Waste management innovation: Albertine Waste Management company says that exposure to oil and gas has improved technology and processes, especially in hazardous waste handling and legal risk management, turning some waste into value. #NCC2025 #CreatingLastingValue #UGOilJourney @Comrade_Otoa

🚨 Field Visit to the Tilenga Project Area 🚨 The @PAU_Uganda successfully coordinated a field visit for Dr. Kabagambe Kaliisa, Senior Presidential Advisor on Oil, Gas, and Minerals, on March 25th at the Tilenga Project Area. The visit aimed to assess operational readiness ahead of Uganda’s first oil. PAU also hosted @postbankug MD, Mr. Julius @JKakeeto , and a delegation from @SGS_Uganda during the tour. 📍 Sites visited: ✅ JBR 02 (rig onsite) ✅ Nile Crossing site ✅ Tilenga Industrial Area ✅ Bugungu Camp ✅ Water Abstraction Point, Buliisa Dr. Kaliisa commended the significant progress made and expressed confidence in the project's overall trajectory.

Milestone Achieved: @EACOP_ Secures First Tranche of External Financing The East African Crude Oil Pipeline (#EACOP) has successfully closed its first tranche of external financing, backed by a syndicate of financial institutions, including @afreximbank , @StandardBankZA , @stanbicug , @kcbbankug , and @ICDdubai . This milestone underscores the strong support for the project and its shareholders: ✅ @TotalEnergiesUG – 62% ✅ @UNOC_UG – 15% ✅ @TPDCTZ – 15% ✅ @CNOOCUgandaLtd – 8% With construction progressing steadily in Uganda and Tanzania, the project is set to surpass 50% completion by the end of 2024. Key impacts so far: 🔹 8,000+ Ugandan & Tanzanian citizens employed 🔹 400,000 man-hours of training provided 🔹 $500M+ spent locally, driving economic growth A major step forward in the region’s energy infrastructure! ⚡ #EACOP #UGOilJourney #CreatingLastingValue

"The National Oil and Gas Policy aims to create lasting value for society using Uganda’s oil and gas resources. While much focus has been on revenues from oil sales, this conference highlights the significant value already being achieved—skilled Ugandans, empowered enterprises, local employment, and businesses providing sector services. Here, these benefits are evident and celebrated." — @ErnestRubondo, ED @PAU_Uganda #NCC2024 #UGOilJourney #CreatingLastingValue

"The implementation of Uganda’s oil and gas projects offers immense opportunities to fast-track national development through Ugandan participation in providing goods and services—what we call National Content. Key focus areas include employment, capacity building, enterprise development, use of local goods and services, and technology transfer, all driven by collaboration with the private sector and development partners." — Hon. @NankabirwaRS , Minister @MEMD_Uganda #NCC2024 #CreatingLastingValue #UGOilJourney

Another milestone in the construction of the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (@EACOP_ ) 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 @EACOP_ 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. @SsekatawaAli , the Director Legal and Corporate Affairs at the @PAU_Uganda highlighted the significance of this development, stating that the arrival of the pipes marks a key milestone in the construction of the @EACOP_ . 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
