5.1 Upstream Subsector
The Kenyan government is presently in the process of evaluating the Final Field Development Plan (FDP), which was
submitted by the Kenya Joint Venture (KJV) partners in March 2023. This comprehensive FDP outlines a strategic
roadmap for the development of resources within the Block 10BB and 13T licenced areas, as well as additional appraisal and exploration activities aimed at optimizing resource extraction within the designated development zone.
The development strategy revolves around a well-structured, phased infrastructure-driven approach, commencing with
the most sizable and technically advanced reservoirs. In order to achieve the production of first oil and support the
initial production plateau, the Ngamia, Amosing, Twiga, and Ekales fields, collectively referred to as “NEAT,” will be
developed within the first five years of the production period.
Subsequent to the commencement of first oil production, an Exploration and Appraisal Plan will be implemented with
the primary goal of prolonging the plateau period. This will be achieved through the reduction of risks associated with
contingent resources and the addition of new discoveries. The development of Agete, Etom, and other fields within the
Development Area will follow the successful execution of the Exploration and Appraisal Plan.
During the initial development phase, core infrastructure elements, including field access infrastructure, central processing facilities, gathering systems, and the Lokichar to Lamu Crude Oil Pipeline (“LLCOP”), will be installed. This
foundation will not only facilitate future expansion but also leverage existing infrastructure to generate incremental
development value from both existing and forthcoming discoveries. The development aims to tap into a discovered
Stock-Tank-Oil-Initially-in-Place (“STOIIP”) range spanning from 1,620 to 4,573 million barrels and anticipates the
recovery of an estimated 240 to 971 million barrels of Contingent resources over the course of the 25-year contract
period.
