Further, Uganda continues to face an inadequate industrial base, lack of competitive edge internationally and small scale and subsistence production.<\/p>\n<p>This are among the five key areas identified by the 2018 local content policy that the stakeholders in the sector needed to strengthen including develop the competitiveness of local enterprises as suppliers, develop the quality of goods and services to be supplied, build the human resource in the country, promote skill transfer and research and increase the use of locally produced or available goods and services by the Oil and gas industry.<\/p>\n<p>Among the various opportunities available some 16 areas have been secured for Ugandan companies providing goods and services including hotel accommodation and catering, security, fuel supply, crane hire, waste management to mention but a few.<\/p>\n<p>Ugandan companies further have a chance to get subcontracts from international oil companies already awarded including the USD 2 billion McDermott and Sinopec contracted for major Engineering, Procurement, Supply, Construction &amp; Commissioning Services (EPSCCS),\u00a0 site clearing awarded to MotaEngil, and other drilling completions conditional awards to entities like Schlumberger, Vallourec, among others.<\/p>\n<p>Download the &#8220;UGANDA TILENGA PROJECT DEVELOPMENT STAGE &amp; EAST AFRICA CRUDE OIL PIPELINE (EACOP) OUTLOOK 2021 \u2013 2025&#8221; here: <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2VnzcAn\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/2VnzcAn<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ugandan contractors could earn more than USD 1.5 billion from contracts associated with the development phase in the Kingfisher and Tilenga oil projects as well as the EACOP and Kabaale &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oilnewskenya.com\/index.php\/uganda-local-contractors-could-earn-up-to-1-5bn-from-development-phase\/\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":10673,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7442,7443,11],"tags":[6178,9492,7414,6283,9491,2252,2317,7413,2603,4176],"class_list":["post-10672","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-countries","category-eastern-africa","category-top-news","tag-eacop","tag-kabaale-petrochemical","tag-kingfisher","tag-mcdermott","tag-motaengil","tag-schlumberger","tag-sinopec","tag-tilenga","tag-uganda","tag-vallourec","entry"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.oilnewskenya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Tilenga-Project.jpg?fit=1417%2C1689&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5JWkQ-2M8","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":11726,"url":"https:\/\/www.oilnewskenya.com\/index.php\/uganda-jv-to-announce-eacop-kingfisher-tilenga-projects-final-investment-decision\/","url_meta":{"origin":10672,"position":0},"title":"Uganda JV to announce EACOP, Kingfisher &#038; Tilenga Projects Final Investment Decision","author":"","date":"January 31, 2022","format":false,"excerpt":"The joint venture partners in Uganda's Tilenga and East Africa Crude Oil Projects Total Energies, CNOOC and state-owned UNOC are expected to announce reaching the final investment decision tomorrow two months after CNOOC reached FID on the Kingfisher project.
