TotalEnergies, CNOOC in deal to invest in Uganda’s Lake Albert

TotalEnergies and project partner China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) have announced the Final Investment Decision (FID) for the Lake Albert Development project in Uganda,

The project is designed to usher in a new era of enhanced energy security in East Africa. At a total investment of approximately $10 billion, the FID follows a deal signed with the Ugandan and Tanzanian governments.

Following the discovery of crude oil reserves in the Lake Albert Rift Basin in 2006 and 2009 by Tullow Oil, as well as the considerable efforts made by Heritage Oil Plc. to open up the Albert and Kingfisher assets, Uganda has been focused on developing domestic production capacity in the country.

In 2020, Tullow sold its assets to TotalEnergies, with the French based major now working in collaboration with the CNOOC to grow the entire energy value chain.

Now, with the Lake Albert Development, the project developments will be instrumental in positioning both Uganda and Tanzania as competitive hydrocarbon markets.

Comprising the Tilenga and Kingfisher upstream projects – which are set to start producing 190,000 and 40,000 barrels per day (bpd) in 2025, respectively – as well as the construction of the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP), the development will enable Uganda to fully monetize its 1.4 billion barrels of recoverable oil resources while providing export opportunities through Tanzania.

Representing a 1,443km, 216,000 bpd export pipeline, the EACOP will connect landlocked Uganda with international markets, bringing in critical foreign expenditure for the country.

“The development of Lake Albert resources is a major project for Uganda and Tanzania, and our ambition is to make it an exemplary project in terms of shared prosperity and sustainable development.

We are fully aware of the important social and environmental challenges it represents. We will pay particular attention to use local skills, to develop them through training programs, to boost the local industrial sector in order to maximize the positive local return of this project,” stated Patrick Pouyanné, chairman and CEO of TotalEnergies in a Press Release issued by the company.
