An estimated 600 million barrels of oil have recently been discovered in Kenya by\u00a0Tullow Oil and the Africa Oil Corp.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tullow Oil is a multinational\u00a0oil\u00a0and\u00a0gas\u00a0exploration\u00a0company founded in\u00a0Tullow,\u00a0Ireland\u00a0with its headquarters in London, United Kingdom.<\/span><\/p>\n

Africa Oil Corp is a Canadian oil and gas company with assets in Kenya and Ethiopia as well as Puntland (Somalia) through its 45% equity interest in Horn Petroleum Corporation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Africa Oil Corp’s East African holdings are in within a world-class exploration play fairway with a total gross land package in this prolific region in excess of 215,000 square kilometers.<\/span><\/p>\n

The East African Rift Basin system is one of the last of the great rift basins to be explored. <\/span><\/p>\n

Several new significant oil discoveries have been announced in the Lokichar basin of Kenya in which the Company holds a 50% interest along with operator Tullow Oil plc.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tullow Oil and the Africa Oil Corp made their\u00a0first crude oil find in Kenya in March, 2012.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Kenyan government is pushing ahead, quickly, with plans to start construction on an oil pipeline that will interface with Uganda and the coastal town of Lamu in Coast Province, Kenya.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kenya has licensed 41 out of its 46 oil and gas blocks to 21 companies including\u00a0BG Group Plc,\u00a0Eni SpA ,\u00a0Anadarko Petroleum Corp and\u00a0Total SA.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Most licenses will move to the drilling stage next year because that is when their initial license period of two to three years starts to expire.<\/span><\/p>\n

On August 2nd 2014 Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta said that Kenya may start producing oil at the end of the decade, as it aims for quicker production of natural gas to first meet domestic power-generation needs before any surplus supplies can be exported.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kenya President Kenyatta said that his administration plans to have new legislation in the coming months to guide activities of the oil and natural gas industries and maximize the country\u2019s benefits from these sectors.<\/span><\/p>\n
