  • Who owns the share of Uganda refinery?
  • The Uganda Refinery project will be a private sector led project. The Government's share will be held by the Uganda National Oil Company, through its subsidiary Uganda Refinery Holding Company. East African Community partner states (Kenya and Rwanda) and TotalEnergies Exploration and Production Uganda TEPU have expressed interest in holding shares.
  • Will the government take a large equity stake in Uganda's Oil Refinery?
  • The government¡¯s plan to take a large equity stake in the oil refinery is risky and may be unnecessary. French supermajor Total and Chinese state oil company CNOOC decided to go ahead with Uganda¡¯s first oil project at the start of February 2022.
  • What impact could a refinery have on Uganda's Development?
  • Various government policy documents and external studies have set out the impact that the refinery could have on Uganda¡¯s development. Concerns about the security of Uganda¡¯s fuel supply have been at the heart of the government¡¯s long pursuit of a refinery, set out as early as 2008 in the National Oil and Gas Policy.
  • Should Uganda invest in a oil refinery?
  • The refinery will generate considerable benefits for Ugandans. The government may therefore decide such a large equity stake is a risk worth taking, and a price worth paying, if it is needed for the refinery to go ahead. An equity stake will also generate significant returns if the downside risks do not materialize.
  • What is Uganda's first oil project?
  • French supermajor Total and Chinese state oil company CNOOC decided to go ahead with Uganda¡¯s first oil project at the start of February 2022. As part of this, they are constructing the East Africa Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP), which will have the capacity to export 216,000 barrels per day (bpd) of oil.
  • Who is responsible for raising the debt for Uganda refinery project?
  • The Lead Investor is responsible for raising the debt for the Uganda refinery project, which is estimated to cost around US$ 4 billion. The Government identified and acquired 29sq.km of land for the development of the Kabaale Industrial Park (KIP).
