據道瓊斯烏干達坎帕拉9月14日消息，烏干達和法國石油巨頭道達爾集團達成了一項協議，將共同建設一條造價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最大原油儲量開發工作。

上述協議是在湖濱城市恩德培簽署的，烏干達總統Yoweri Museveni和道達爾集團首席執行官Patrick Pouyanne出席了簽約儀式。根據該協議，烏干達國家石油公司將參與這一長達900英里的輸油管道項目。

該交易會有力促進烏干達對其巨大油田的開發，據估計，相關油田的原油儲量高達60億桶。由于缺乏出口管道等基礎設施，相關油田的商業化已經停滯了多年。

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.
