It has been planned since 2010. Community opposition was repressed early on. After 5 years of negotiations, the Albertine Graben Refinery Consortium (AGRC) formed in 2018 and agreed to design and build the refinery. The refinery is planned to be fed by the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) via a heated northern and a heated southern pipeline, for which the Nzizi Power Station, a 100-megawatt thermal power plant, using natural gas and heavy fuel oil.<\/p>\n<p><b>Oil sector expectations<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Uganda&#8217;s government says that the oil sector developments are projected to contribute USD 8.6 billion to the country\u2019s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and have created over 12,000 jobs. According to Uganda\u2019s Energy Ministry, the country is transitioning from strategic planning to practical implementation. They are now advancing four major oil and gas projects: the Tilenga and Kingfisher projects in the Upstream (USD 6-8 Billion) and the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) (USD 5 Billion), and the Uganda Refinery (USD 4 Billion) Projects in the Midstream. Tilenga and Kingfisher are expected to produce respectively 190,000 and 40,000 barrels of crude oil daily at peak production.If all the oil projects are combined with the Government\u2019s investment in supportive infrastructure, signify an investment of approximately USD 20 Billion in Uganda\u2019s economy.The oil refinery is expected to resolve the issue of East Africa\u2019s dependence on refined products imported expensively from overseas.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/uganda\">Uganda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Faridah N Kulumba Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
