President Yoweri Museveni is expected to commission Uganda’s first oil on 15 December at Pump Station One of the East African Crude Oil Pipeline in Hoima, marking a major milestone in the country’s oil journey.
The Kingfisher oil project's Central Processing Facility in Kikuube District is now 99 percent complete, with 22 of 31 planned production wells fully drilled and ready for operation.
President Yoweri Museveni has officially named Uganda’s crude oil blend “Pearl Sweet” at a ceremony in Kikuube District, giving the resource a market identity that combines national pride with its low-sulphur quality as the country prepares for commercial production and exports later this year.
