据世界石油6月9日消息称，领先的数据分析公司GlobalData表示，随着东非石油管道项目最近获得批准，乌干达最早将于2025年开始生产石油，未来五年的产量预计将从2021年的零跃升至23万桶/天。
GlobalData的石油和天然气分析师Conor Ward评论道:“乌干达的艾伯特湖石油开发项目将是过去20年非洲最大的石油开发项目之一，预计将开采超过15亿桶石油。Tilenga 和 Kingfisher 油田（艾伯特湖开发项目的一部分）将为乌干达政府带来巨大价值，仅这两个油田就可以产生高达 80 亿美元的财政收入。”
Kingfisher油田首次被发现已有15年。
Ward 总结道：“这条路线将从乌干达西部边缘到坦桑尼亚的坦加港，全程1400公里，由于原油的蜡质特性，需要不断加热和多个泵站。这条管道将是该地区20多年来修建的最长的管道，将为乌干达向国际市场出口石油提供一条通道。”

Conor Ward, Oil & Gas Analyst at GlobalData, comments: “The Lake Albert oil development in Uganda will be align="justify"> It has been 15 years since the Kingfisher field - was first discovered.
Ward concludes: “The route will cover 1,400 km from the Western edge of Uganda to the port of Tanga in Tanzania and will require constant heating and multiple pumping stations due to the waxy nature of the crude. The pipeline will be the longest constructed in over 20 years in the region and will provide Uganda with a route for oil export into international markets.”
