• Progress made in the exploration of the petroleum resources
• Plans for development

The development of petroleum resources is a highly capital-intensive phase in the exploitation journey. Over US$10 billion will be invested in the development of the oil fields in Uganda. Another US$3.5 billion will be spent on developing the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) that crosses both Uganda and Tanzania.

Several policies and laws have been put in place to ensure that the participation of local persons and enterprises is maximized. The recently concluded Host Government Agreements (HGA) for the EACOP provides for local participation.

In this session, panellists will discuss:
• Local content policies in Uganda and Tanzania
• Registration and eligibility for the National Supplier Database
• Private sector compliance to regulations and other environmental matters
• Challenges that hinder Uganda and Tanzanian locals and enterprises from participating
• In the oil & gas industry, which can be resolved before the construction phase commences
• The Tanzania experience in skills development from gas pipeline projects that have previously been developed in Tanzania
• The experience of working in both Uganda and Tanzania
• Cross border joint ventures; lessons learned
• Joint ventures and farm-in arrangements with companies holding licenses in the country

The EACOP will provide business opportunities for various sectors of the economy involved in the pipeline design, construction, and operation of the project, and it will create a trickle-down economic effect spurring the development of local content. The development and maintenance of the pipeline infrastructure in the two countries will also contribute to the capacity building and know-how of national service providers, technology transfer and skills.

Along the pipeline route, service roads and rail will be upgraded or developed to facilitate the access too, and maintenance of the pipeline during its construction and operations. Roads will increase accessibility to the areas traversed by pipeline and enhance the movement of goods and people, and overall economic exchanges. The pipeline will also have an effect on housing, health facilities, the food value chain and other sectors.

This session will delve into how the two countries can participate in available opportunities.
• Licensing of new acreage in the country
• Speculative geophysical surveys in frontier basins and under –explored parts of Albertine Graben
• Investment in emerging infrastructure like the refinery, pipelines and storage
• Development of a petroleum-based industrial park
• Goods and service provision and contracts during engineering, procurement and construction
• Private sector experiences in the Oil & Gas Industry
• General Oil& amp; Gas industry opportunities for all levels of players
