石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据道琼斯6月14日消息，乌干达能源部常任秘书长Stephen Isabalija表示，乌干达即将授出2007年以来的首个石油勘探许可证，因为乌干达正在加大努力以吸引更多的投资者投资该国发展初期的石油工业。与尼日利亚Oranto国际石油公司的勘探协议将于周四在坎帕拉签署，从而将结束长达十年没有发放新许可证的历史。乌干达当前估计拥有65亿桶的石油储量，是东非最大的未开发石油储藏的国家。尽管国际油价下跌，但是当前的作业者道达尔和中海油计划投80亿美元开发乌干达的油田，到2020年石油产量可能高达23万桶/天。

Uganda Set To Issue 1st Oil Exploration License in 10 Years
Uganda is set to award its first oil exploration since 2007 as the country steps up efforts to lure more investors in its nascent oil industry, says Stephen Isabalija, permanent secretary and the energy ministry. An exploration deal with Nigeria’s Oranto Petroleum International will be signed in Kampala Thursday, ending a decade-long ban on new licenses. Estimated at 6.5 billion barrels, Uganda currently holds East Africa’s largest undeveloped crude reserves. Despite falls in global crude prices, current operators–Total SA and Cnooc Ltd. plan to invest $8 billion to develop the fields, which may pump as much as 230,000B/D by 2020.
