烏干達(dá)與道達(dá)爾達(dá)成35億美元管道項目協(xié)議

據(jù)道瓊斯烏干達(dá)坎帕拉9月14日消息，烏干達(dá)和法國石油巨頭道達(dá)爾集團(tuán)達(dá)成了一項協(xié)議，將共同建設(shè)一條造價35億美元、通往坦桑尼亞坦噶港的輸油管道，以啟動拖延已久的該地區(qū)最大原油儲量開發(fā)工作。

上述協(xié)議是在湖濱城市恩德培簽署的，烏干達(dá)總統(tǒng)Yoweri Museveni和道達(dá)爾集團(tuán)首席執(zhí)行官Patrick Pouyanne出席了簽約儀式。根據(jù)該協(xié)議，烏干達(dá)國家石油公司將參與這一長達(dá)900英里的輸油管道項目。

該交易會有力促進(jìn)烏干達(dá)對其巨大油田的開發(fā)，據(jù)估計，相關(guān)油田的原油儲量高達(dá)60億桶。由于缺乏出口管道等基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施，相關(guān)油田的商業(yè)化已經(jīng)停滯了多年。

Uganda, Total Reach Key Deal on $3.5 Billion Oil Pipeline

Uganda and French oil giant Total SA have reached an agreement for the construction of a $3.5 billion pipeline to the Tanzanian port of Tanga, unlocking the long delayed development of the region's largest crude reserves.

The deal witnessed by Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni and Patrick Pouyanné, Total's chief executive, in the lakeside city of Entebbe also allows the participation of Uganda's state oil company, Uganda National Oil Company in the 900-mile project.

The deal is a major boost for Uganda's efforts to develop its vast crude oil fields, estimated to contain as much as 6 billion barrels of crude. Commercialization has stalled for years due to lack of infrastructure facilities such as an export pipeline.
