Feasibility Study for Development of an Oil Refinery in Uganda
Invitation for Expression of Interest
1.0 Introduction
The Government of Uganda has an interest in securing reliable supplies of petroleum products at least cost to consumers. In this regard, the Government is promoting the rational exploration of the hydrocarbon resources in the country.
In line with this objective, the Government has rigorously promoted oil exploration in the various parts of the country. Following the recent exploration success in the Lake Albert area, it has been determined that the Albertine Graben contains sufficient reserves for commercial development.
The discovery of oil in Uganda raises the possibility that oil could be refined locally to meet product demand.
The Government of Uganda has received a grant from the Norwegian Government through the Norwegian Agency for Development Co-operation (NORAD) to conduct a Feasibility Study for Refinery Development in Uganda.
The objective of this study is to have an independent assessment of development alternatives for the area, and to evaluate possible refining and related infrastructure alternatives.
2.0 Objectives
The Feasibility study shall cover the entire chain from production to delivery of finished
products.
The specific objectives of the study include;
i) To study the feasibility of developing a refinery in Uganda with required infrastructure in order to achieve optimal benefits from the discovered resources.
ii) To analyse and document different alternatives with cost estimates for a refinery and its attendant infrastructure.
iii)To analyse the impact that the development of a refinery and its attendant infrastructure will have, address and prioritise the specific areas of concern and propose possible mitigation measures.
3.0 Scope of assignment
The Consultancy firm shall
i) Analyse the regional Petroleum Products Market
ii) Perform an economic analysis of the benefits of refinery development
iii) Suggest Oil Refinery Development Cases
iv) Study possible locations for the refinery taking into account environmental aspects
v) Analyse the transportation options for transporting refined products from the refinery to the markets
vi)Analyse the option of a crude export pipeline from the oil fields to the Indian Ocean.
