The Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) faces significant investment to adapt its Mombasa facilities for crude oil exports from Lokichar, Turkana County, as commercial production is set to begin later this year. This move is crucial for the success of the Lokichar-Lamu oil export plan.

• The KPC may need to spend billions of shillings to convert its facilities.
• The project rests on the complex oil export plan for crude oil originating from Lokichar.
• The first crude oil consignment from Lokichar arrived in Mombasa on June 7, 2018.
