OIL AND GAS
There are five potential hydrocarbon exploration areas in Uganda:
1. Hoima Basin 2. L. Kyoga Basin 3. L. Wamala Basin 4. Kadam-Moroto Basin 5. The Albertine Graben
Exploration in the Albertine Graben has revealed large amounts of petroleum. A total of 37 explo- ration wells out of 39 have revealed commercial quantities of oil and gas. Estimated petroleum re- serves in Albertine Graben exceed 2 billion barrels; enough to produce 100,000 barrels of oil per day in Uganda for 20 years.25
