2. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE SECTOR (3) b) Gravity and Magnetic data • 7,500 line km of gravity and magnetic data. • 9,578 line km of aeromagnetic data
. 2. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE SECTOR (4) c) Seismic data • 5,774 line km of 2D seismic data • 2,406 km on Lake • 3,368 km on land • 1,232.3 sq. km of 3D seismic data • Energy source are; Dynamite, weight drop and airguns 10
2. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE SECTOR (5) d) Well data • 44 Wells drilled • 26 Exploration Wells • 18 Appraisal Wells • Todate, All wells have encountered oil and/or gas except four
Over 2 billion barrels of Oil equivalent in place. • 30% of Albertine Graben has been explored. • 17 oil and/gas discoveries made. • More than 50 prospects have been identified. • numerous leads to be followed up with seismic data. 2. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE SECTOR (6) 2.3 Resource Potential 12
Waraga-1: 33.80 API , flowed 12,050 bopd Nzizi-2 well tested 14mm scf/d of clean dry methane Mputa-1: 33.3 API flowed 1,035 bopd. 2. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE SECTOR (7) 2.4 Discoveries Kingfisher: 33 API , flowed 14,000 bopd. • Four discoveries namely Mputa, Kajubirizi (Kingfisher), Kasamene and Nzizi at Field Development Stage. • These fields (Mputa, Kajubirizi & Kasamene) hold in excess of 700 million barrels recoverable reserves • Type of crude is 30-34 API low sulphur, waxy crude, Pour point of ~40 degrees Celsius. 13
2. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE SECTOR (8) CURRENT STATUS • Exploration • Exploration continues in Exploration Areas 1, 4B and 5 • Appraisal is being undertaken on the discoveries made in Exploration Areas 1 and 2 • Development • Exploration Areas 2 and 3A are at the development stage • Draft Field Development Plans have been submitted for Kingfisher, Kasamene and Nzizi discoveries 14
2. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE SECTOR (9) DEVELOPMENT: Integrated Power Project (IPP) • The gas to power concept delivers gas from Nzizi discovery to fuel a 50MW power plant, supplemented by test crude from EWT 15
2. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE SECTOR (10) DEVELOPMENT: Extended Well Testing (EWT) • Longer testing operations allows for larger area of investigation. • Improved understanding of STOIIP • Testing without flaring • Enabler for testing in sensitive environments and close to communities • Establishes early production experience: Essential input into overall development • Transportation schemes. Essential for Production Infrastructure 16
2. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE SECTOR (11) DEVELOPMENT: Basin wide Development • Central Hub being considered • Loading Hub to refinery and to the Market 17 Source: Draft report of feasibility study on in-country refining
2. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE SECTOR (12) DEVELOPMENT: Value Addition through Refining • Feasibility study for refining in the Country undertaken. • Report being discussed • Recommends location, size, configuration financing options and market for the products 18
3. THE NATIONAL OIL AND GAS POLICY FOR UGANDA (1) • 3.1 Energy Policy Key Policy objectives from the mid 1980s were covered in the Energy Policy and were; 1. Capacity building and institutional development, 2. Investment promotion through acquisition of field geological, geophysical and geochemical data and attraction of oil companies to invest; and 3. Monitoring compliance of agreed work programs, budgets and environment protection. 19
Institutional Development Size of Reserves Oil and Gas Revenue Management Impact of Oil and Gas Activities Contribution of Oil and Gas Resources to the Energy Mix Investment Promotion National Participation Public Anxiety and Expectations 3. THE NATIONAL OIL AND GAS POLICY FOR UGANDA (2) 3.2 Issues Confirmation of commercially exploitable quantities of oil and gas raises the following key issues: 20
To deal with the emerging issues, a new policy, the National Oil and Gas Policy for Uganda has been put in place. The Policy was formulated through a wide consultative process and approved by Cabinet Feb 2008 The goal of the policy is; ‘to use the country’s oil and gas resources to contribute to early achievement of poverty eradication and create lasting value to society’ 3.3 Guiding Principles 1. Using finite resources to create lasting benefit to society. 2. Efficient resource management. 3. Transparency and accountability. 4. Competitiveness and productivity. 5. Protection of environment and conservation of biodiversity. 6. Spirit of co-operation. 7. Capacity and institution building. 3. THE NATIONAL OIL AND GAS POLICY FOR UGANDA (3) 21
3.4 Implementation of Policy has commenced; • Drafting of new petroleum legislation to operationalise policy. • Support for the introduction of training courses focusing on petroleum industry done. BSc Petroleum Geoscience at Makerere, Artisan and technical training at Uganda Petroleum Institute, Kigumba. • Studies undertaken on refining in Uganda. • Communication Strategy for oil and gas is being developed. • Close monitoring of environment and biodiversity being undertaken. • New institutions are being put in place. • Local content study being undertaken to ensure optimum national participation in oil and gas activities. 3. THE NATIONAL OIL AND GAS POLICY FOR UGANDA (4) 22
4. STATUS OF INVESTMENT IN THE SECTOR (1) INVESTMENTS • Over US$900m invested in seismic and drilling of wells since 1998. • Bigger investments required to appraise and develop discovered oil and gas fields as well as infrastructure for transportation and refining. • Investments will require developing and ensuring a conducive environment for sustaining the required levels of investment.
Participation in licenses for the new and relinquished acreages after formulation of new legislation. Joint Ventures and farm in arrangements in existing licences. Capital for the emerging infrastructure such as refining and transportation of petroleum commodities and products Service provision and contracts in the fields of Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Environmental consultancy, etc, for the upstream and midstream facilities. Power generation by Independent Power Producers. 5. INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN THE OIL AND GAS SECTOR
1. Petroleum exploration in Uganda has been ongoing since early 1920s. 2. Commercially Exploitable Reserves of oil have now been confirmed in Uganda. 3. Government has put in place a policy to guide development of the sector. 4. Implementation of Policy has commenced; 5. The oil industry in Uganda has potential of providing a lot of investment opportunities to oil companies and other investors in the industry. 6. CONCLUSION 26
