“A defining hallmark of Uganda’s petroleum landscape is the geological difference between its producing fields, necessitating customized engineering solutions. The Tilenga Project is characterised by shallow oil reservoirs ranging from 600 to 1,000 metres. Located in the northern Lake Albert Basin, engineers face shallow, low-pressure reservoirs beneath the communities of Buliisa and the ecologically sensitive Murchison Falls National Park. Extracting oil from these formations requires highly deviated and horizontal wells drilled from compact, centralized wellpads to minimize ground footprint while maximizing reservoir exposure.”— Writes Alex Nyombi (@AlexNyombii), Director, Development & Production, @PAU_Uganda, writing in the #PAUAt10 Souvenir Magazine.

I thank President William Ruto for inviting me to Lamu County, for the groundbreaking ceremony of the Dangote East Africa Petroleum Refinery.
I am happy to see Africa waking up and moving away from the 70-year betrayal of exporting raw materials. Mr Dangote, who started as an importer and has become a national and continental asset, is a good example of the transformation we need.

What does it take to turn petroleum potential into long-term economic value for Namibia?

At the recently concluded 2026 Annual Symposium, held under the theme “Namibia’s Pre-Oil Production Phase: Assessing Choices That Unlock Long-Term Economic Value,” the speakers examined what readiness for potential production should look like in practice. The discussions pointed to capable institutions, fit-for-purpose legal and regulatory frameworks, prudent revenue management, meaningful local participation, specialised skills, environmental safeguards and effective coordination across the public and private sectors.

Swipe through for key perspectives from the Symposium on the choices Namibia must make today to build value that lasts beyond the resource.

Bank of Namibia Annual Symposium 2026 https://t.co/5ghvtFWztA

[Bank of Namibia @BankofNamibia]

The Bank of Namibia yesterday hosted its 2026 Annual Symposium under the theme “Namibia’s Pre-Oil Production Phase: Assessing Choices That Unlock Long-Term Economic Value.” where it brought together policymakers, regulators, industry, academia and local and international experts together for a conversation on the choices Namibia must make before potential production begins.

Governor Mr Ebson Uanguta emphasised that the pre-production window presents an important opportunity to deliberately build the foundations for long-term value. He highlighted three priorities: strengthening domestic skills, expertise and entrepreneurship; building strong institutions and an effective regulatory framework; and creating meaningful linkages between the petroleum sector and the wider economy so that Namibian enterprises can progressively participate and compete.

The Symposium also examined the scale of the opportunity already emerging. Oil and gas attracted approximately N$74.4 billion in foreign direct investment between 2021 and 2025, representing about 56% of total FDI inflows, while exploration activities accounted for an average of about 30% of Gross Fixed Capital Formation between 2022 and 2025. Discussions nevertheless underscored that long-term value will depend on fit-for-purpose legislation, institutional capacity, disciplined revenue management, local participation, specialised skills, environmental safeguards and effective coordination.

“Following the Final Investment Decision in February 2022 for the Tilenga, Kingfisher and EACOP projects, the Government, investors, contractors and Ugandan professionals have worked together to bring these projects to this important stage,” said Ms. @irenebateebe, PS at the @MEMD_Uganda.

Recognition of Mr. @ErnestRubondo.

“As Uganda stands on the threshold of First Oil, it is fitting that we acknowledge the service Mr. @ErnestRubondo , the outgoing Executive Director of @PAU_Uganda , who completed his second and final term of office just two days ago.

As the founding Executive Director of @PAU_Uganda since September 2016, Mr. @ErnestRubondo has served during one of the most consequential periods in Uganda's petroleum history,” said Ms. @irenebateebe.

“Mr. @ErnestRubondo has contributed to building @PAU_Uganda into a technically capable petroleum regulator and has been part of the wider Government team that has guided the sector through exploration, development, regulation, national content and the preparation of the country's major petroleum projects,” said Ms. @irenebateebe.

[EACOP @EACOP_]

Today at Kingfisher, Uganda gave its crude oil a commercial identity ahead of first exports.

A named grade can be marketed, priced and written onto a cargo manifest.

#EACOP will carry that crude from the Albertine Graben to Tanga and the world. The last mile has a name on it. #FirstOil

[Government of Uganda @GovUganda]

Here comes the name

[Government Citizen Interaction Centre @GCICUganda]

Today is a big day for Uganda. After nearly 20 years since oil was discovered in commercial quantities in 2006, our crude oil is finally getting its official identity.

But before the name is unveiled at Kingfisher in Kikuube, let’s take a quick look at the journey and the progress behind the big moment.

The Lake Albert basin is estimated to hold 6.5 billion barrels of oil in place, with about 1.4–1.7 billion barrels recoverable.

Two major projects, Kingfisher and Tilenga, are expected to produce about 230,000 barrels per day at peak, with Kingfisher’s Central Processing Facility alone designed to handle 40,000 barrels per day.

And then there’s the 1,443-kilometre EACOP, the heated pipeline that will transport Uganda’s waxy, low-sulphur crude from the Albertine region to Tanga, Tanzania. The pipeline is now more than 90% complete.

So, before we hear the name, let’s take a look at the progress across the different sites and see how Uganda’s oil story is taking shape.

The name comes today. The journey has been years in the making.

[State House Uganda @StateHouseUg]

President @KagutaMuseveni has arrived at the Kingfisher Development Area in Kikuube District, where he has inspected the Kingfisher Central Processing Facility (CPF).

The President will later preside over the Crude Oil Naming Ceremony, during which he will unveil the name of Uganda’s crude oil.
