Uganda is preparing for its first oil in August 2026, with government efforts focused on maximizing value and ensuring energy security through major terminal projects. The Uganda National Oil Company (UNOC) reports that $2 billion in contracts have been awarded to local firms, employing over 15,000 Ugandans and training more than 14,000. This milestone marks not just the arrival of “first oil” but the beginning of Uganda’s journey as an oil-producing nation. These opportunities were highlighted at the UNOC Supplier Development Workshop, encouraging suppliers and service providers to position themselves for the Kasurubani project.
