Uganda is set to become Africa's newest oil-producing country with an initial output of 25,000 barrels per day from the Kingfisher oil field, aiming for 230,000 bpd within three years, exporting via the 1,500-kilometer East African Crude Oil Pipeline to Tanzania.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Energy Storage.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Uganda joining the oil export market opens a significant new supply route in East Africa and challenges existing exporters; you need to assess risks and opportunities in regional energy trade and infrastructure partnerships now.
