Appendix A: Activation of Oil Explorationand Development in the Ethiopia–Kenya–SouthSudan Transboundary Region1

Joshua S. Dimon2 with Claudia Carr

While the Gibe III component of the Omo River basin development constitutes the most urgent, intensive and extensivethreat to livelihoods along the lower Omo River and Lake Turkana, the peoples in this region are also under threat from otherlarge-scale development programs. These too promise further restrictions of access to livelihood resources, including landgrabs for large agri-business plantations along the lower Omo and, on an even larger scale, oil development. There has beena major expansion of oil exploration and development activities along Lake Turkana and the lower Omo basin in the last fiveyears. The impacts of these developments will only compound Gibe III’s negative impacts on livelihoods in the region byfurther restricting pastoral territories, further abstracting water from the Omo and Lake Turkana for drilling, further reducingthe water quality of the remaining water in the Omo River and Lake Turkana, and increasing the militarization of the regionand potential for armed conflict.

Current concessions for oil exploration in the region cover the entirety of Lake Turkana and the south Omo River, extendingalong the so-called tertiary rift valley zone of Ethiopia and the eastern branch of the East African Rift Valley. Explorationand, more recently, development of oil has been accelerating for the last five years in the region, although it is part of a muchlonger history of oil exploration.

Contrary to news of brand-new interest/discoveries, exploration in this region has been going on for many years, without theprior knowledge of those living in the zones of exploration. The first exploration in the region was in the 1950s, with the firsthints of oil resulting from shallow boring for water in Northwest Kenya in 1952 (Hedburg 1953). Exploration picked upagain in the 1980s with help from the World Bank in both Kenya and Ethiopia (Rachwal and Destefano 1980; McGrew1982; Hartman and Walker 1988). This zone is part of a larger regional exploration history starting in the 1940s. The AfricaResources Working Group (ARWG) has been investigating this history across thirteen countries covering seventy years andover three hundred companies, and has documented this in several forthcoming papers.

With decades of exploration history in the zones, oil companies currently investing in this region generally already knowwhat exists in the area, and where, and accelerate quickly to exploration drilling, which is a far more damaging phase thanseismic exploration, and requires a greater amount of auxiliary support infrastructure, including security, where the companydeems the area a potential risk to their property or employees. Given the growing tensions due to the Gibe III impacts, andthe increasing conflict in South Sudan, private security forces are likely in use here, further heightening the potential forviolent conflict in this region.

1This Appendix was written in July of 2014. Since that time, major expansions of Tullow Oil, Africa Oil and other petroleum and associatedinterests have been underway in the region. This discussion offers an outline and perspective regarding the genesis and basic characterof the fast-moving development now underway.2Joshua S. Dimon is completing a doctoral degree in Environmental Science, Policy and Management at the University of California, Berkeley—specializing in extractive industry development within Africa.

Currently, Africa Oil and Tullow are the two dominant companies involved in the region, although over 15 companies areinvolved in the tertiary rift valley all together. Tullow has been very active in the broader region, with oil discoveries in theUgandan portion of the Western branch of the rift valley. Africa Oil is a more recent addition to the region, but includesindividuals with many years of geologic experience in the region. Perhaps more problematic, Africa Oil gained its con-cessions along the Omo River in Ethiopia through an intermediary that initially gained the concessions as agriculturalplantation project land. The inter-changing roles of the investors engaged both across industries, and across countries in theregion demonstrates both the unified front facing the pastoral peoples of the Southern Omo, northern Lake Turkana region,and the strategic advantage these companies have in negotiations with regional governments.

Seismic exploration, while progressing for decades, has rapidly expanded in recent years. Additionally, two wells havealready been drilled by Tullow Oil in the lower Omo area near the Ethiopia–Kenya border by Tullow Oil, and many moreSouth of the Lake in Kenya where development drilling is already in progress. These developments will directly andseverely impact pastoral livelihoods in the region. Seismic exploration requires the clearing of vast swaths of land from flora,fauna and people including for the placement of explosives or large “thumper trucks” every 100 m. This is carried out fordistances of hundreds of kilometers in order to generate seismic waves. These operations involve security measures toprevent people from approaching the seismic lines during clearing, placing of trucks and explosives, and seismic testingitself which can extend for months. For pastoral peoples, these actions mean major disruption of settlements, livestockmovements and access to grazing and water sources.

Drilling involves the same securitization of the location of the drilling rigs. It also involves the production of a very largeamount of drilling waste, including toxic drilling muds, drill cuttings (rock) contaminated with drilling muds and possiblyhydrocarbons, and produced water (from injection during drilling) also contaminated with drilling muds and hydrocarbons.If the drilling is on land, in areas such as this region, the wastes will be left near the drill site in waste ponds, likely unlined,risking contamination of any groundwater that may be accessed in the region, as well as nearby land. If the drilling is onwater, the wastes are generally dumped directly into the water system next to the drilling platform. This would be concernenough without the impacts on Lake Turkana water levels from the dam, as it can seriously impact benthic organisms,chemical oxygen demand, and fish life (Patin 1999; Satterly 2003). However, with any reduction in Lake level from the Damitself, this would be far worse.

Each of these phases of oil and gas development involve security, generally from either private security forces, or themilitary forces of the hosting country. In a region already experiencing the livelihood tensions noted in throughout this book,as well as the impending tensions from the impacts of the Dam itself, this increased militarization of the region will onlyaugment armed conflict and humanitarian concerns. The exploration programs that have been progressing in the South Omo,North Turkana regions have already sparked conflict when residents of the region first encountered oil company trucks thatsaid they had authorization from the government to commence work in the region, despite community members knowingnothing about it.

Given the evidence from the past seven decades of exploration, and current upsurges in interest in the broader northernRift Valley Area and Horn of Africa, the oil companies are arguing this region is likely to become next West Africa.The convergence of this massive expansion of the oil industry in the same impact zone as that of the Gibe III dam willdecimate livelihoods in this region. The impacts from all of these developments together far exceed the sum of theindividual impacts, as livelihoods will already be stressed beyond their coping points by the Gibe III dam.
