โA defining hallmark of Ugandaโs 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.โโ Writes Alex Nyombi (@AlexNyombii), Director, Development & Production, @PAU_Uganda, writing in the #PAUAt10 Souvenir Magazine.

Two Nations. Two Journeys. One Shared Future.
October celebrates Chinaโs National Day (1 October) and Ugandaโs Independence Day (9 October), two journeys shaped by transformation, development and aspirations for a better future.
At CNOOC Uganda Limited, Ugandan and Chinese colleagues came together to celebrate, reflecting collaboration, care and shared purpose.
As Uganda approaches first oil, the Kingfisher development marks a new chapter of strengthened Uganda-China cooperation.
Different histories. Shared values. One future.
Energy for a Better Future.

@ugandainvest Director General @mukiza_robert joined by H.E. Ambassador Margaret Otteskov, Embassy of Uganda in Copenhagen, held a meeting with the Norfund Investor Group, ahead of the Norwegian-African Business Association (NABA) Summit in Oslo, Norway tomorrow, 8 October 2026.
Speaking during the meeting, @mukiza_robert noted that: "Norfund is already one of Uganda's most important investors. You had invested over $200 million in Uganda by 2017, from Bujagali hydropower to dfcu Bank, and last year you backed Kensta's sanitary pad factory. Those investments have paid off, and they show what is possible."
"Thank you for Norfund's commitment to Africa. Uganda wants to be the market where you scale, not just where you test."

Ugandaโs Oil and gas sector has pushed for projects to be about Ugandans and the livelihoods of the communities where development happens.
This week UNOC, alongside Government entities and Joint Venture Partners joined Civil Society Organisations & Non-Governmental Organization in a monitoring visit to see project progress firsthand, engage with stakeholders and assess the initiatives supporting affected communities.
These project visits provide an opportunity for CSOs/NGOs to check that commitments to supporting local livelihoods and protecting the environment are being met.

Ugandaโs refinery will be built, and our cooperation with Tanzania on Tanga stands. There is no harm in having more refineries in the region. What Africa needs is value addition, industrialisation and bigger integrated markets.
East African political integration must ultimately be treated as a matter of strategic survival.

Through refining, petrochemical industries and the use of associated gas for electricity generation, we shall maximise the value of our resources here at home and reduce dependence on imported petroleum products.
I commend all the oil companies, technical teams and Ugandan professionals whose efforts have brought us to this milestone. The revenues from oil must be invested in durable infrastructure and productive sectors for the benefit of the Bazzukulu.

Pearl Sweet denotes low sulphur content_otherwise heavy, intermediate or light! Not 'sweetness' like for sugarcane my friends! From matooke - mwaanyi traders to crude on world Market!Let us be in class! First oil loading!
Barrel Magazine retweeted
Pearl Sweet. That's the name of the Ugandan crude oil blend. This is the commercial denomination for trading the crude ( low sulfur) in the international market.
We are off now as @KagutaMuseveni ( this is one of his signature projects and legacy) is here with members of the cabinet led by @R_Nabbanja MP.
Barrel Magazine retweeted
UPDATE: President @KagutaMuseveni has arrived in Kikuube district to preside over the unveiling of the official commercial name of Ugandaโs crude oil blend as the Uganda moves to commercial oil production.
