据路透社11月26日开普敦报道，乌干达石油部长艾琳•穆洛尼表示，乌干达预计2021年开始生产石油，比原计划晚了一年。该国拟建炼油厂应在2023年前投入运营。
法国道达尔公司与和英国的图洛石油公司是乌干达油田的投资者。
穆洛尼说：“我们最初的投产目标是2020年。现在看来这个投产目标将有所推迟，我们现在将看到在2021年投产。这个投产日期符合行业目标。”
今年4月份，乌干达与一个包括美国通用电气公司子公司在内的国际财团签署了一项协议，将耗资30亿至40亿美元建造并运营一个具有日加工6万桶原油能力的炼油厂。
穆洛尼说，这个新建炼油厂应该在2023年前投入运营。

Uganda expects first oil production in 2021, refinery by 2023
Uganda expects to start producing oil in 2021, a year later than initially planned, and its refinery should be up and running by 2023, its oil minister said.
France’s Total is an investor in Uganda’s oilfieldsand Britain’s Tullow Oil.
“Our initial target was 2020. That seems to have slipped and we are looking now at 2021,” Irene Muloni said at the Africa Oil Week conference in Cape Town. That date is in line with industry targets.
In April Uganda signed a deal with a consortium, including a subsidiary of General Electric, to build and operate a 60,000 barrel per day refinery that will cost $3 billion-$4 billion.
Muloni said the refinery should be operational by 2023.
