據(jù)道瓊斯3月22日消息，烏干達(dá)財(cái)政部長(zhǎng)Matia Kasaija表示，全球大宗商品價(jià)格居高不下，為烏干達(dá)提供了快速開(kāi)發(fā)其23萬(wàn)桶/天石油項(xiàng)目的機(jī)會(huì)。汽油價(jià)格已突破每加侖4美元的紀(jì)錄高位，這為烏干達(dá)等國(guó)提供了提升其未開(kāi)發(fā)石油資產(chǎn)的機(jī)會(huì)。據(jù)估計(jì)，烏干達(dá)的原油儲(chǔ)量為65億桶。Kasaija表示:“我們將加快項(xiàng)目活動(dòng)的實(shí)施，以確保石油生產(chǎn)及時(shí)開(kāi)始，從而帶來(lái)更多美元，增加我們的儲(chǔ)備，這樣烏干達(dá)銀行就有足夠的能力來(lái)對(duì)抗通脹。”包括道達(dá)爾能源在內(nèi)的公司已在烏干達(dá)投資數(shù)十億美元，希望到2025年開(kāi)始在那里生產(chǎn)石油。

High Oil Prices Boost Uganda's Oil-Development Project

The prevailing high global commodity prices present opportunities for Uganda to fast-track the development of its 230,000 barrel-a-day oil project, Finance Minister Matia Kasaija says. Gasoline prices have reached records above $4 a gallon，which provides a chance for countries such as Uganda to advance its undeveloped oil assets, estimated at 6.5 billion barrels of crude. "We will expedite the implementation of project activities to ensure timely start of oil production to bring in more dollars to boost our reserves so that bank of Uganda has enough arsenal to fight inflation" Kasaija says. Companies including TotalEnergies have invested billions of dollars in Uganda, where they hope to start oil production by 2025.
