Tullow Oil to haul oil in Kenya

Tullow Oil’s Kenyan unit has said it is seeking trucking companies to transport crude from northwestern fields to the port city of Mombasa as the East African nation rushes to export its first oil by mid-2017.

The work will involve the trucking of crude in insulated containers from a production facility near Lokichar, Turkana county, to storage facilities run by Kenya Petroleum Refineries, Tullow Kenya said yesterday in an advertisement in the Nairobi-based Daily Nation newspaper.

It said it plans to lease 100 insulated containers with a minimum fluid capacity of 25,000 litres.
