据世界石油3月10日消息称，根据非洲能源商会 (AEC) 的 2022 年第一季度展望《非洲能源状况》，随着该地区的批准活动相对增加，到 2025 年非洲的累计资本支出增加了 230 亿美元。
在这种情况下，乌干达等新兴石油和天然气生产国的新项目和绿地投资将在 2022 年及以后增加非洲的资本支出，因为非洲大陆寻求确保安全的天然气和石油供应，以满足当地需求并扩大出口。
乌干达的绿地投资将在扩大非洲石油和天然气勘探和生产方面发挥越来越大的作用，因为这个东非国家正在寻求扩大其新兴市场，以促进当地、区域和大陆层面的经济转型和能源可靠性。乌干达大约有65亿桶石油储量，其中14亿桶是经济可采的，估计有5000亿标准立方英尺天然气储量。随着尼日利亚和安哥拉等主要产油国的传统项目产量到2025年都在下降，政府寻求利用这些资源来确保可靠的石油和天然气供应，以满足当地和整个非洲的需求。
自 2000 年代初以来，乌干达在生产和基础设施发展方面的投资不足，导致该国石油和天然气市场停滞不前。然而，乌干达政府近年来采取的政策改革和各种举措吸引了大量投资，并鼓励国际石油勘探巨头的进入，以及基础设施的发展，使这个东非国家能够在2025年开始生产。
AEC执行主席NJ Ayuk说：“现在是乌干达优化投资和勘探并启动其生产引擎的时机。全球价格的不确定性和非洲的能源贫困为乌干达提供了一场完美的风暴，促进其石油和天然气市场，并成为地区和全球能源供应国。”
该国的石油和天然气储量有潜力每天生产23万桶(桶/天)，持续15年。尽管与尼日利亚和安哥拉等主要产油国相比，尼日利亚的油气产能相对较低，但它将对稳定整个非洲大陆(尤其是东非)的供应产生重大影响。

Increased oil and gas exploration and production investment in Uganda expected through 2025
According to the African Energy Chamber’s (AEC) Q1 2022 Outlook, The State of African Energy, as the region sees relatively increased sanctioning activity, cumulative capital expenditure through 2025 from Africa has seen an increase of $23 billion.
In this context, new projects and greenfield investments in emerging oil and gas producing countries such as Uganda will increase capital spending in Africa in 2022 and beyond as the continent seeks to ensure a secure gas and oil supply to meet local demand and expand exports.
Greenfield investments in Uganda will play an increasing role in expanding Africa’s oil and gas exploration and production as the east African country seeks to expand its nascent market for economic transformation and energy reliability locally, regionally and at continental level. Uganda has approximately 6.5 billion barrels of oil reserves - of which 1.4 billion barrels are economically recoverable - and 500 billion standard cubic feet of estimated gas reserves. The government seeks to leverage these resources to ensure reliable oil and gas supply to meet local demand and across Africa as production in legacy projects in leading producers including Nigeria and Angola decline through to 2025.
A lack of investment in production and infrastructure development since the early 2000s has resulted in a stagnant oil and gas market in Uganda. However, policy reforms and various initiatives adopted by the Ugandan government in recent years have attracted significant investment and encouraged the entrance of international majors in oil exploration as well as the development of infrastructure that can enable the east African country to start production by 2025.
“The timing for Uganda to optimize investment and exploration and to kickstart its production engines is now. Price uncertainty across the globe and energy poverty in Africa provide a perfect storm for Uganda to enhance its oil and gas market and to emerge as both a regional and global energy supplier,” said NJ Ayuk, Executive Chairman of the AEC.
The country’s oil and gas reserves have the potential to produce 230,000 barrels per day (bpd) for a period of 15 years. Though relatively lower compared with leading producers such as Nigeria and Angola, the country’s oil and gas production capacity will have a significant impact in stabilizing supply across the continent, and in particular, east Africa.
