The transfer of crude oil from Turkana to Mombasa by road was commissioned by President Uhuru Kenyatta on June 3, 2018.
Tullow Oil chief operations officer Mark MacFarlane said the EOPS has provided vital lessons for the planning and execution of the full field development phase of Project Oil Kenya.
The contract for the Early Oil Pilot Scheme (EOPS) has expired after two years of disruptions and just one sale of the crude in the international market.
Tullow Kenya with its joint venture partners – Total and Africa Oil – on Tuesday confirmed the end of the contract, adding that EOPS has served its purpose.
