Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The Chinese appear to be taking over the financing of the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (Eacop) project, which has been hit by funding hitches as major lenders cave in to pressure from climate activists to abandon it.<\/p>\n

A week ago, Standard Chartered Bank withdrew a $5 billion offer after activists said the project could generate seven times more carbon emissions per year than the rest of the country. A Stanchart spokesman was quoted as saying the lender \u201cisn\u2019t involved in the financing\u201d of the 1,443km crude pipeline from the oilfields in western Uganda to the Indian Ocean coast of Tanzania.<\/p>\n

TotalEnergies \u2013 the lead investor in Uganda\u2019s oil projects \u2013 is therefore racing against time to reach financial close for the pipeline, as well as to conclude land acquisition, without losing sight of the 2025 oil production and export timelines.<\/p>\n

While the rigs are up and upstream field development is progressing, Eacop is falling behind the schedule set by the government for the first oil to flow in 2025 due to land acquisition headaches and delayed financial close after many risk-averse banks targeted as financiers pulled out of the project.<\/p>\n

Activism or poverty conservation?<\/p>\n

However, the French energy giant has signed a deal with China Petroleum Pipeline Engineering (CPP) for the construction and supply of line pipe, a development that tilts the trans-border project to Beijing, where the biggest chunk of the loans is expected to come from.<\/p>\n

CPP is a subsidiary of state-owned China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), and joins another state entity China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC), which owns a 28.33 percent stake in the Uganda oil and eight percent of Eacop.<\/p>\n

Dennis Kakembo, an energy law specialist told The EastAfrican that the recent turn of events was largely expected.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have to look at where financing is coming from… Whether it\u2019s construction, insurance, financing, these deals always go where the money for the project is sourced,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Last year, Eacop managing director Martin Tiffen announced that Australian firm Worley was tipped for the engineering, procurement and construction management tender while Italy\u2019s ISOF Construzioni SRL was evaluated to manage the coating plant for the pipes and fittings, now taken over by CPP.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the Europeans were financing the project, you would expect them to influence their companies to take up these deals,\u201d Mr Kakembo noted, referring to a string of European and American banks that have opted out of the project\u2019s financing, citing climate risk and human rights issues.<\/p>\n

Before CPP, the pipeline deal worth $165 million was lined up for ChelPipe, the Russian manufacturer of welded and seamless steel pipes, but the company was ejected from the tender after the US and Europe slapped sanctions on Russia after it invaded Ukraine in February 2022.<\/p>\n

And now Stanchart has walked away, leaving China as the only realistic source of finance for the project, according to industry experts.<\/p>\n

But NJ Ayuk, executive chairman of the African Energy Chamber, argues that Stanchart\u2019s pull-out \u201cis inconsequential\u201d but adds that the Eacop shareholders, particularly TotalEnergies, will have to do the heavy lifting by taking a bigger chunk of the project\u2019s equity financing to reduce the debt ratio.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have the balance sheet and Chinese financing,\u201d he said of TotalEnergies.<\/p>\n

Uganda government officials maintain that funding for the pipeline remains on track and multi-sourced from European, Middle East, African, and Asian financiers, particularly China. Energy Minister Ruth Nankabirwa has said the pipeline project \u201cwill get money\u201d from Beijing.<\/p>\n

Last month, Eacop deputy managing director John Bosco Habumugisha said the governments had made good progress, raising 60 percent of the required financing for the project that is expected to unlock massive economic activity on the 1,443km-long corridor.<\/p>\n

Last year, TotalEnergies CEO Patrick Pouyanne\u0301 told shareholders that the amount of debt required for Eacop would be $2 billion and $3 billion.<\/p>\n

South Africa\u2019s Standard Bank, Japan\u2019s Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, as well as the US insurance broker Marsh, are the advisers for financing and insurance packages for Eacop.<\/p>\n

Confirmation of CPP deal means that Chinese firms are taking the lion\u2019s share of the major contracts in Uganda\u2019s oil projects after Sinopec was picked in 2021 as the joint main contractor alongside McDermott, for the Total-operated Tilenga project.<\/p>\n

In February, another Chinese firm, China Petroleum Engineering and Construction Company (CPECC) finalised a deal with the French major to build ground facilities in the Tilenga oilfield.<\/p>\n

Eacop is expected to transport 216,000 barrels-per-day of oil from Tilenga and Kingfisher oilfields in the Lake Albert basin to Tanga Port on Tanzania\u2019s coast.<\/p>\n

Between 2022 and 2025, the project is expected to undertake the land acquisition, contract award, detailed engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning, including hydro-testing, and first oil from upstream facilities. But in May, there is no clear schedule when the contractors will get the green light to start construction.<\/p>\n

Land acquisition stands at 85 percent in Uganda, and 98 percent in Tanzania of the compensation agreements signed, while compensations paid are at 76 percent and 97 percent respectively. Eacop officials in Kampala cannot say when this exercise will be concluded, citing a lack of requisite documents by project-affected persons.<\/p>\n

Blame govt, not Bobi Wine, for Europeans\u2019 concerns over EACOP<\/p>\n

But in Tanzania, construction has started at the marine storage terminal in Tanga port and the coating plant site in Nzega District, while in Uganda, civil works will start at the main camp and pipe yard at Kakumiro, where land acquisition is complete.<\/p>\n

Eacop is the largest oil pipeline project in the region, spanning a 30-metre corridor and 1443km length from start to terminal, developed to transport crude oil from Uganda to Tanzania from where it will be shipped to the international markets.<\/p>\n

TotalEnergies holds the majority stake of 62 percent, while Uganda National Oil Company (Unoc) and Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation hold a 15 percent state each, and CNOOC eight percent.<\/p>\n

The project has been the target of a vicious campaign by local and international environmental and human rights activists, who say new fossil fuel projects are a ticking climate bomb that should be abandoned in favour of renewable energy.<\/p>\n

They also cite the fact that Eacop is the world\u2019s biggest heated pipeline \u2013 the heating is meant to enable it to carry Uganda\u2019s waxy oil \u2013 but the infrastructure crosses protected areas. Activists say the ecosystems in protected areas which the 50\u00b0C heated pipeline will cross will be harmed.<\/p>\n

The European Union Parliament has backed the activists, and passed a resolution denouncing the project last year, arguing that the pipeline will produce 34 million tonnes of emissions per annum, hence posing a threat to local wildlife populations in conservation and protected and sensitive ecosystems.<\/p>\n

But Peter Muliisa, chief legal and corporate affairs officer at Unoc, said that the Eacop is a buried pipeline and a very low emitter.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn terms of contribution to total oil and gas emissions, upstream contributes 10 percent. Midstream, which is where the pipeline falls, is the least emitter; it contributes five percent. The rest of the emissions come from usage, and that\u2019s downstream. So, if you look at the pipeline, it\u2019s not emitting. Its mission is very limited,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Uganda has from May 9-11 planned to host the 10th East African Petroleum Conference and Exhibition.<\/p>\n
