The Hoima–Kampala Petroleum Products Pipeline (HKPPP) is a proposed pipeline to transport refined oil products from the Uganda Oil Refinery in Hoima to a distribution terminal near Buloba[1][2] in Wakiso District, approximately 28 kilometres (17 mi), by road, west of Kampala's central business district.
[1][5] In October 2018, the Uganda National Oil Company (UNOC) secured 300 acres (1.2 km2) of raw land in Namwabula Village, Mpigi District, approximately 28 kilometres (17 mi), west of downtown Kampala,[6] where a greenfield petroleum products depot is being developed.
[7][8] As of January 2015[update], the government of Uganda was evaluating bids by several international firms to determine which had the best plan to construct the pipeline.
[1][9] In July 2015, the Ugandan government selected Ramboll Group A/S, a Danish consulting engineering company to conduct a detailed route and environmental study for an oil products pipeline that will run from Hoima to Buloba.
The 211 kilometres (131 mi) pipeline will be accompanied by information and communication technology cables, a dual-carriage highway, and power transmission lines between Hoima and Kampala, all contained in a 110 metres (360 ft) "utility corridor".
