Tullow oil plans to start export of oil by road in December this year.

According to the company, critical infrastructure along the transport route is almost complete.

The early oil Pilot Scheme is a joint venture between the oil explorer and the government to truck 2000 barrels of oil by road to the port of Mombasa.

Kenya was planning to start oil export in 2018 with a partnership with Tullow.

The deal reached in March this year would have seen 2000 barrels of oil trucked from Turkana by road to the port of Mombasa for the international market.
