摘要

DEBORAH R. MALAC, US ambassador to Uganda, gave an optimistic welcome address at the Uganda International Oil & Gas Summit (UIOGS), which was held in Kampala last month. She said the country's burgeoning oil and gas industry is "anxious to get to FID" although "first oil is at least three years away". Ms Malac told delegates that the major challenge is "how to best use the time between now and first oil" so that Uganda will have a competitive industry that is open to futher exploration and development.
