Tullow says Turkana oil project facing delaysTrucks of the first crude oil consignment from Lokichar,Turkana, arrive at the Mombasa's Changamwe KPRL storage facility in Mombasa County on Thursday,07th June,2018 afternoon. Tullow Oil has also pushed forward the date for the export of the first cargo of oil produced under the pilot scheme to September, from the earlier planned date of June 2019. Delay in getting the FID could delay oil production, which is currently expected to start in 2022. A late 2019 FID remains contingent on these key Government of Kenya deliverables,” said Tullow in a statement yesterday. “EOPS continues to truck 600 barrels of oil per day to Mombasa where 80,000 barrels of oil are being stored ahead of export.
