Uganda to Announce Its Second Oil Licensing Opportunities in Cape Town

SEATTLE (Oil Monster): Seventeen Ministers from Africa’s largest energy producing nations, including countries such as Nigeria, Equatorial Guinea, Uganda and Tunisia among others, have agreed to meet in Cape Town at Africa Oil Week (AOW), taking place from 4-8 November 2019 to broker new partnerships for their energy sectors.

The ministers will be using Africa Oil Week Summit as a platform to discuss national strategies, sovereign competitiveness, issue licenses and finalize tenders.

With pressure growing on Sovereigns to develop attractive operating environments, the ministers will be detailing their hydrocarbon strategies to an audience of 1500+ senior executives from the entire upstream value chain, including NOCs and IOCs, Independent Operators, the Geoscience community, Service Companies and EPCs and the investment community.

Uganda’s Irene Muloni, Minister of Energy and Mineral Development for Uganda is expected this year to expand on the above theme with an update on the country’s most recent petroleum exploration project.
