Construction of the $5 billion East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) is now 91% complete, marking a significant step toward Uganda’s first oil production. The 1,443-kilometer pipeline will transport crude oil from Uganda’s Albertine Graben to international markets. Officials anticipate first oil to flow by the end of the current year. This project is expected to have a substantial economic impact on the region. The EACOP’s progress underscores Uganda's ambition to become a major oil producer. Completion will unlock significant revenue potential for the country. Further details are expected as the project nears its final stages.
