Oil and Gas

It has now been confirmed that Uganda has commercially exploitable reserves of oil and gas. Efforts to explore and develop this non-renewable resource have been stepped up in the last decade. Of Uganda’s five sedimentary basins (The Albertine Graben, Hoima Basin, Lake Kyoga Basin, Lake Wamala Basin, Kadam-Moroto Basin), the Albertine Graben has so far been the most prospective area for petroleum in Uganda. It forms the northern most part of the western arm of the East African Rift Valley System. The Albertine Graben is 500km long, averaging 45 km wide and 23,000 sq Km.
