PLANS IN THE PIPELINE FOR UGANDAN OIL DEVELOPMENT

摘要

It has been more than 10 years since crude oil was discovered in Uganda and the road to commerciality has not been smooth.However,with progress being made,particularly in regard to essential infrastructure,the government is optimistic about about the future of the petroleum industry in this landlocked east African country.The Ugandan oilfields,located near the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo,are jointly owned by Total,CNOOC and Tullow Oil,with licenses awarded between 2012 and 2016.Additionally,Armour Energy holds an exploration license over the Kanywataba block,issued in 2017,and Oranto Petroleum has two stratigraphic licenses over Ngassa shallow and deep plays.
