Kenya has yet again delayed approving the plan for commercialisation of the Turkana oil fields to December 31, 2025 after Tullow Oil sold the project rights to Gulf Energy.
Commissioner for Petroleum Joseph Otieno said that six-month extension from the initial deadline will allow Gulf Energy to review the field development plan (FDP) of the fields located in the South Lokichar basin. But this could potentially further delay Kenya's dream of becoming an oil-producing economy.
