Kenya will start the small scale export of crude oil from its fields in the far northern county of Turkana in June after an agreement on how to share the revenue, averting delays, the presidency said on Saturday. Tullow Oil and its partner Africa Oil discovered commercial reserves in the Lokichar basin in 2012. Total has since taken a 25 percent stake.
A row had broken out after President Uhuru Kenyatta cut the share of the Turkana county government to 15 percent and that of the local community to 5 percent, leaving the rest to the national government. He then met officials from Turkana at State House in Nairobi to strike a new deal, which will raise the county government's share to 20 percent and cut the national government's to 75 percent.
"We now have an understanding that can put Kenya on the map of oil exporting countries," Kenyatta said in a statement. The deal will allow a long-delayed law on oil exploration and production to clear parliament, letting exports begin. "We will intensify our exploration efforts not just in Turkana but in the rest of the country now that we have a legal instrument that can help guide how oil and gas will be handled in our republic," the president said.
