Uganda

The Uganda oil project envisions drilling more than 450 wells on 35 well pads, leading to an estimated production of 230,000 BOPD at its peak once production starts up.

Uganda is on course to become the newest African oil exporter by 2025.

Uganda’s Lake Albert appears on track to first oil by 2025. The oil is expected to be exported via the 1443-km East Africa Crude Oil Pipeline.

Oilfield services giant is the latest to receive a contract related to TotalEnergies’ $10-billion Ugandan development.

The Lake Albert project includes the development of oil fields, processing facilities, and an electrically heated pipeline network.

Total’s $5.1-billion Lake Albert development with CNOOC brings Uganda into the club of oil-producing nations while it positions the French major as the dominant player in African oil and gas.

A team from Uganda's Ministry of Health and the Petroleum Authority of Uganda toured health facilities along the East African Crude Oil Pipeline corridor "to evaluate the readiness of the existing health facilities in the 10 districts along the EACOP route to provide the required health services."

The Petroleum Authority of Uganda, together with the Ministry of Health and the Uganda Health Federation, held a one-day conference to discuss health investment opportunities in the oil and the gas sector while highlighting the standards expected.
