The East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) Project Overview

The East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) project is a midstream development located across Uganda and Tanzania that includes a nearshore marine storage and export terminal (MST). Once completed, the EACOP company will operate the East African crude oil pipeline, a 1,443 km long, thermally insulated crude oil export pipeline that transports oil from Kabaaie – Hoima in Uganda to the Chongoleani Peninsula near Tanga Port in Tanzania for crude export to the international market.
