據世界石油網報道，全球領先的數據分析公司GlobalData的石油和天然氣分析師拉米·哈里斯2月2日表示，烏干達艾伯塔油田資源開發項目日前做出的最終投資決定(FID)是過去兩年油氣行業做出的第二大投資決定。 

哈里斯說：“艾伯塔油田資源開發項目將是非洲過去20年來最大的原油開發項目之一，預計可開采出超過15億桶原油。” 由于艾伯塔油田資源開發項目一部分的Tilenga和Kingfisher油田的是烏干達第一個石油項目，它將為烏干達國庫帶來大約80億美元的收入，這標志著烏干達政府備受期待的舉措終于敲定。

哈里斯表示，如果Tilenga和Kingfisher油田的原油產量按照計劃進度實現，到2030年前，烏干達將能夠日產大約23萬桶原油。  

Tilenga油田將通過一條艾伯特湖(Lake Albert)管道每天從北部貢獻21.3萬桶原油產量。在重油進入EACOP加熱管道之前，Kingfisher油田預計將每天從南部再增加4萬桶原油產量。 烏干達目前的原油產量為零，因此僅這兩個油田的原油產量就將使烏干達躋身非洲6大原油生產國之列。

如果這個項目獲得成功，這一跨國合作將帶來進一步的基礎設施開發和貿易，如早期設想的坦桑尼亞-烏干達跨境天然氣管道，坦烏管道自2016年以來一直處于停滯狀態。 鑒于埃尼公司的Coral South氣田最終將在今年晚些時候投產，這可能會將莫桑比克的天然氣銷售到坦桑尼亞和烏干達，供兩國國內使用。

Globaldata: Long-awaited investment decision to bring Uganda into top six African oil producers

The final investment decision (FID) taken on Lake Albert Resources Development Project is the second-largest FID taken in the oil and gas industry in the last two years, said Rami Khrais, an oil and gas analyst at GlobalData.

“The project will be one of the largest oil developments seen in Africa over the last 20 years, expecting to recover over 1.5 billion barrels of oil,” Kharis said. “It marks a much-anticipated move for the government of Uganda, as the Tilenga and Kingfisher fields (part of the Lake Albert development) is the first FID to be taken on an oil project in Uganda and it will bring approximately $8 billion to its coffers.

If the production from Tilenga and Kingfisher is materialized according to the planned schedule, Uganda will be able to produce approximately 230,000 barrels of oil per day by the end of the decade, Kharis said.

“Tilenga will contribute via a Lake Albert pipeline with a 213,000 barrels per day capacity from the north. Kingfisher is expected to add another 40,000 barrels per day from the south, before the heavy oil enters EACOP heated pipeline. Uganda’s production is currently zero, so production from these two fields alone will put the country among the top six crude producers in Africa.”

If the project is successful, this cross-country collaboration can bring further infrastructure development and trading, such as the earlier envisaged Tanzania-Uganda trans-border gas pipeline, which had been stalled since 2016, according to GlobalData. This could potentially market Mozambique gas across Tanzania and Uganda for domestic use, seeing that Eni’s Coral South will finally come on stream later this year.
