If we are overtaken by time, the plan is ratified without our input,\u201d Gikaria said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The South Lokichar Basin hosts an estimated 2.85 billion barrels of stock tank oil initially in place, with recoverable resources estimated at 429 million barrels over the life of the project. The most mature fields include Ngamia, Ekales, Amosing and Twiga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A key point of contention has been the increase of the cost recovery ceiling to 85 per cent for both blocks, up from 55 per cent for Block T6 and 65 per cent for Block T7. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wandayi said the adjustment was necessary to attract financing for the capital-intensive project, which has struggled to secure strategic partners due to its marginal nature and shifting global investment away from hydrocarbons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He noted that comparable petroleum-producing countries such as Angola, Cameroon and Ghana allow cost recovery ceilings of between 85 and 100 per cent, adding that Kenyan law does not prescribe a fixed limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The government has also retained a 20 per cent participation interest in the project, meaning it will contribute proportionately to development costs if it elects to take up the stake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Parliament is expected to deliberate on the FDP and PSCs before making a decision on ratification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The joint committee will conduct public hearings and participation as from tomorrow in Turkana, West Pokot, Lamu, Mombasa, Trans Nzoia and Uasin Gishu counties.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cThe joint development ensures optimal utilisation of infrastructure, including a shared central processing facility, and aligns with international industry best practice,\u201d Wandayi told the committees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14232,"featured_media":790136,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25,1,23985,26,7515],"tags":[38737,491,38736],"coauthors":[2006],"class_list":["post-790135","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-headlines","category-kenya","category-parliament","category-top-stories","category-top-story","tag-energy-and-petroleum-cabinet-secretary-opiyo-wandayi","tag-kenya","tag-south-lokichar-field-development-plan"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.7.1 (Yoast SEO v27.5) -
