乌干达与道达尔达成35亿美元管道项目协议

据道琼斯乌干达坎帕拉9月14日消息，乌干达和法国石油巨头道达尔集团达成了一项协议，将共同建设一条造价35亿美元、通往坦桑尼亚坦噶港的输油管道，以启动拖延已久的该地区最大原油储量开发工作。

上述协议是在湖滨城市恩德培签署的，乌干达总统Yoweri Museveni和道达尔集团首席执行官Patrick Pouyanne出席了签约仪式。根据该协议，乌干达国家石油公司将参与这一长达900英里的输油管道项目。

该交易会有力促进乌干达对其巨大油田的开发，据估计，相关油田的原油储量高达60亿桶。由于缺乏出口管道等基础设施，相关油田的商业化已经停滞了多年。

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.
