EAST AFRICA: GROWING IN IMPORTANCE WITH HYDROCARBONS DEVELOPMENT

摘要

THE SCOPE, SCALE and spread of current and future oil and gas infrastructure development projects in East Africa is positioning the region as a hotbed of oil and gas exploration, investment and infrastructure build. The knock-on effects of this growth will lead to a regionally integrated ecosystem for oil production, natural gas supply and distribution, which will increase efficiency and security of supply. It is expected that the cost of refined oil and gas products to consumers will decrease in the long term as a result of the development of hydrocarbons in this region.
