You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Kenya Pipeline Company''' (''KPC'')<ref>((Cite web|title=Kenya Pipeline Company|url=https://www.kpc.co.ke/|access-date=2020-05-29))</ref> is a [[state corporation]] that has the responsibility of transporting, storing and delivering [[petroleum product]]s to the consumers of [[Kenya]] by its [[Pipeline transport|pipeline]] system and [[oil depot]] network.

== Overview ==
The Kenya Pipeline Company was incorporated on 6 September 1973 and started commercial operations in 1978. The company is a state corporation under the Ministry of Energy with 100% government shareholding.

Kenya Pipeline Company operates a pipeline system for transportation of refined petroleum products from [[Mombasa]] to [[Nairobi]] and western Kenya towns of [[Nakuru]], [[Kisumu]] and [[Eldoret]]. Working closely with the [[National Oil Corporation of Kenya]], KPC operates 5&nbsp;storage and distribution depots for conventional petroleum products, located in Eldoret, [[Kisumu]], Mombasa, Nairobi and Nakuru. Depots are fed by domestic-manufactured product from the Kenya Petroleum Refinery near Nairobi and imported, refined petroleum product from the Kipevu Oil Storage Facility near Mombasa. The company operates two aviation fuel depots at [[Jomo Kenyatta Airport]], [[Nairobi]], and [[Moi International Airport]], [[Mombasa]]

In collaboration with the Government, KPC facilitates the implementation of Government policies:
* Acts as a Government agent in specific projects as directed through the Ministry of Energy.  To this end, the company works with the government in the implementation of key projects such as the extension of the Oil Pipeline to [[Uganda]] and the LPG import handling and storage facilities. 
* Assists in the fight against fuel adulteration and dumping. 
* Ensures efficient operation of petroleum sub-sector.

Unlike some state corporations, KPC does not depend on government subsidies, but is a source of revenue to the government in terms of dividends and taxes. It is supported by major petroleum companies which are signatories to the network, including Dalbit Petroleum.<ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.dalbitpetroleum.com/kenya/AboutUs.html|title=Dalbit Petroleum Kenya ((!))

In 2011, the government of newly independent [[South Sudan]] expressed interest to building a pipeline connecting the oil fields in that country to the existing South-Eldoret-Mombasa pipeline in Kenya.<ref>((cite news|title=South Sudan to link to Kenya oil pipeline|url= https://af.reuters.com/article/sudanNews/idAFLAE63689720110706 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20120514061706/http://af.reuters.com/article/sudanNews/idAFLAE63689720110706 |url-status= dead |archive-date= 14 May 2012 |accessdate=19 October 2011|newspaper=Reuters|date=6 July 2011))</ref>

In 2016, it was announced that KPC has secured $350 million to install a new 865-kilometers long pipeline from Mombasa to Nairobi.<ref>((Cite news|url= https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-06-29/kenya-will-begin-constructing-its-crude-oil-pipeline-in-2018 |title=Kenya Will Begin Constructing Its Crude Oil Pipeline in 2018|date=2016-06-29 |work=Bloomberg.com |access-date=2017-04-18))</ref> KPC is the largest consumer of electricity in Kenya.<ref>((Cite web |url=https://www.standardmedia.co.ke/business/article/2001263429/why-bamburi-cement-put-off-mega-plans-for-alternative-solar-energy |title=Why Bamburi cement put off mega plans for alternative solar energy |last=Kajilwa |first=Graham |date=2017-12-18 |website=The Standard |language=en |access-date=2017-12-18))</ref>

In November 2023, Kenya pipeline was listed among 11 other state corporations that were to be privatised by the Kenyan government.
