Tullow warns of Kenya project shut-down as protests mount

摘要

Tullow Oil may shut down operations in northern Kenya in two weeks unless persistent issues with local residents, which threaten progress of the project, are resolved. Disruptions in the remote Turkana region in the northwest of the country have halted the shipments from its early production pilot project. First production had already been delayed because of lengthy negotiations over the division of revenue between local and national government with the local community ending up with a lower than desired 5%.
