Uganda will begin production tests at its Lake Albert oil fields in September, part of a longer-range program aimed at building a refinery that will begin operating within three years, the Energy Ministry said.
The testing will involve “simulating production” to determine the reservoir’s performance and volumes, and to provide guidance for procurement of necessary equipment, Robert Kasende, an assistant commissioner at the ministry, said in an interview today in the capital, Kampala.
