Bro we have our own refinery for local use at Changamwe. Oil is only exported as crude oil.This way it is cheaper to transport than if its purchased in different products.Its upon the buyer to go and process it

[@jembekali5928]

Low Sulphur content but high wax content making it require a heated pipeline. This is such a capital intensive and high operating cost venture, that I wonder who will be ready to put money into it. Might take the next 50 years for this to be a reality. By the way, it is in the open that the initial batch of mined (~200,000 barrels) was sold to ChemChina at a value of KES 12B. Whoever gained from it, is another question.

[@Ukversuskenya]

OK, checks done..Tullow are from Ireland UK.. question every Kenyan should be asking now is : what is Kenya gaining? After seeing what happened to West Africa, I want to know how this will benefit Kenya. Why export crude oil..People are asking...instead of refining it and selling it as so. Can citizen tv please answer these queries? C'est tout.

[@mimi21746]

You need to develop refinery, it doesn't fall down from heaven. Have you asked yourself if Kenya has the right capacity to build and maintain a refinery. I mean Kenya has such a bad business environment and everything gets politicized that even that refinery building process can not happen.

[@josephmark9944]

Do you think we have 3 billion USD+ to build a new refinery? At most Kenya will produce 100k barrels per day, to operate a refinery successfully and not make losses, a production rate of at least 250,000 bpd is needed.

[@felixwaswi3513]

The government of Kenya and Tullow should expedite the process to ensure that Kenyan citizens can benefit from the country's oil reserves. If swift action is not taken, the rising dominance of electricity and gas as primary energy sources could diminish the potential benefits of oil. Additionally, timely development and efficient management of oil resources can significantly boost the national economy, create jobs, and improve infrastructure, enhancing the overall well-being of the Kenyan population.
