The document outlines the ESIA process and technical specifications for the Lokichar-Lamu Crude Oil Pipeline, a joint venture between the Kenyan government and a consortium including Tullow Oil, Africa Oil Turnana, and Total Oil. The pipeline is designed to transport heavy crude oil from the Lokichar basin to a marine export terminal at the Port of Lamu. It details the stakeholder engagement process, the construction methodology involving trenching and backfilling, and key technical parameters such as a length of approximately 820 km and the inclusion of 16 intermediary stations.

• The Lokichar-Lamu Crude Oil Pipeline is a joint partnership between the Kenya Government and a consortium consisting of Tullow Oil Kenya B.V., Africa Oil Turnana Ltd, and Total Oil (formerly Maersk Oil).
• The proposed pipeline will span approximately 820 km, starting in Turkana county and crossing Samburu, Isiolo, Meru, Garissa, and Lamu counties to terminate at a marine export terminal at the Port of Lamu.
• Technical specifications for the pipeline include a buried depth of approximately 0.9 meters, the use of a Long Line Trace System for heating waxy crude oil, and the inclusion of 16 optimized intermediary stations.
• The marine terminal at the Port of Lamu will feature storage facilities with a capacity of 1.5 million barrels, consisting of three 500,000 barrel tanks, along with a loading line and marine platform.
• The ESIA process, governed by the Environment Management and Co-Ordination Act (1999), involves a scoping study, the development of Terms of Reference, and an Environmental Impact Study, with a target completion date of March 2019.
