The East Africa Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) is ~79-84% complete as of July 2026, with officials targeting July 2026 for commissioning and first exports by October. Will a formal commissioning announcement be made before September 14?
How this resolves
YES if the EACOP consortium, UNOC, or the Government of Uganda officially announces the start of pipeline commissioning before September 14, 2026. NO if no such announcement is made by that date.
