Background

Côte d'Ivoire has been aiming to build a West African pipeline for some 30 years. Construction started between 1999 and 2011, and has since stopped and restarted. Having built the Abidjan-Yamoussoukro Petroleum Products Pipeline, the state-owned Société Nationale d'Opérations Pétrolières de la Côte d'Ivoire (Petroci) has plans to extend the pipeline further — to Bouaké (117 km), in a first stage, and then on to Ferkessédougou (240 km), in a second stage. These proposed legs are projected to cost an additional $250 million. As of 2019, the first section is built up to Bouaké. But the crossing of the lagoon Ebrié, the most critical site of this section, is not yet realized.
