A number of tenders and jobs are being offered in Uganda’s oil industry as the country moves closer to sealing a final investment decision for a key infrastructure project – the crude oil pipeline to Tanzania – with some speculators saying the decision could come as early as this week.
French oil major Total E&P, the lead developer in Uganda’s oil industry, has been issuing bids for construction services for its Tilenga development project, and also ensuring the project affected persons are well-compensated. The Uganda National Oil Company (UNOC) – the institution in charge of government’s commercial interests in the oil industry – has also been recruiting staff to build its capacity as it prepares to heavily participate in the development of the industry.
