East African Rift System.2 Di d i th Alb ti G b ti t d t 2. Discovered resources in the Albertine Graben now estimated at over

2.5 billion barrels of oil in place.3. Discovered Oil is sweet, 30-340 API, but waxy with low pour point. This , , y p p

makes the transportation difficult and expensive.4. Government Policy is to refine the discovered crude oil in the country

before export options are considered Initial steps of developing a before export options are considered. Initial steps of developing a refinery in Uganda are underway.

5. Plans to undertake a licensing round after formulation of a new law are b i dbeing made.

6. Uganda will maintain the predictable and conducive environment that has facilitated the unprecedented exploration success in the Country.
