World's longest heated oil pipeline hits 64.5% completion, earns Tanzania TSh50 billion
The East African Crude Oil Pipeline, stretching 1,443 kilometers, is 64.5% complete and will be the world's longest heated pipeline.
Its development has contributed approximately $19.5 million to Tanzania's revenue through taxes and levies.
The $5 billion project employs 1,200 Tanzanians and aims to enhance regional economic and trade integration.
The Uganda–Tanzania Crude Oil Pipeline has generated TSh50 billion (approximately $19.5 million) in revenue for Tanzania through various taxes and levies.
This supports the project's projection of boosting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in both countries by over 60% during the construction phase, according to the official factsheet.
Stretching 1,443 kilometers, it is the world's longest heated crude oil pipeline and is designed to transport Uganda's crude from Kabaale-Hoima in western Uganda to the Chongoleani Peninsula near Tanzania's Tanga Port.
This cross-border infrastructure project is a cornerstone of East Africa's energy strategy and a catalyst for regional economic transformation.
The heated pipeline is embedded with electrical filaments and fiber-optic cables along its entire length to ensure the safe, efficient flow of crude oil.
The heating system prevents the waxy Ugandan crude from solidifying, while the fiber-optic network supports real-time satellite monitoring and leak detection to mitigate environmental risks.
In addition to the export route, Hoima (Uganda) will host a domestic refinery, allowing part of the crude output to be refined for local use while the remainder will be exported via Tanga, integrating the project into global energy markets.
Tanzania eyes revenue, jobs from project
The East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) is a $5 billion joint venture involving TotalEnergies (62%), Uganda National Oil Corporation (15%), Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation (15%), and China National Offshore Oil Corporation (8%).
The 1,443-kilometre pipeline, set to be the world's longest heated crude oil pipeline, has already generated approximately TSh50 billion (about $19.5 million) in revenue for Tanzania through development levies, taxes, and various construction-related charges.
Tanzania's EACOP Project Coordinator, Mr. Asiadi Mrutu, revealed during a recent televised appearance on TBC1 that the project has so far employed 1,200 Tanzanians, including 346 workers from surrounding communities like Chongoleani.
This progress is seen as a significant boost to local employment and infrastructure growth.
Tanzania's Energy Ministry spokesperson Ms. Neema Mbuja expressed satisfaction with the project's implementation, noting that it is advancing in line with the 2021 agreement.

TotalEnergies Solarizes its Lubricants Plant in Dong Nai Province, Vietnam
HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, Aug. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- TotalEnergies announces the solarization of its lubricants plant at Go Dau, Dong Nai Province, Vietnam. A first for TotalEnergies ENEOS in Vietnam, the milestone project combines a 310kWp solar PV system with a 220kWh battery energy storage system (BESS), enabling the plant to meet up to 60% of its electricity needs with clean, renewable energy. The system is expected to generate approximately 460 MWh of electricity annually, avoiding around 300 tons of CO₂ emissions each year. The smart integration of battery storage, which optimizes solar energy utilization and enhances grid performance, ensures a more reliable and consistent power supply for the plant's operations – enabling better energy management, cost savings and improved operational efficiency. "This project is part of TotalEnergies' ongoing commitment to energy transition across its operations in Vietnam. Since 2019, the Company has been progressively implementing solar solutions at its various facilities, including the LPG plant in Go Dau, Dong Nai. These efforts reflect TotalEnergies' broader ambition to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, while supporting its local entities in reducing their carbon footprint and enhancing energy resilience," Astrid Dassonville, Managing Director and Country Chair, TotalEnergies Vietnam shared.
