1.1 EXTRACTIVE INDUSTRY
Petroleum Latin Petrarock and Oleumoil-natural Fluid composed of a mixture of hydrocarbon molecules. Used to refer to both crude oil and natural gas A mixture of oil and/or gas crude oils, natural gas. Could also be solid asphalt
Formed from the remains of dead plants and animals buried millions of years ago. Certain geological conditions must have existed within the oil-rich rocks.
HydrocarbonHydrocarbons are organic chemical compounds that consist entirely of carbon and hydrogen, andrange from simple molecules such as methane, to polymers such as polystyrene, which consists ofthousands of atoms. Fossil fuels, such as oil and natural gas, are naturally occurring mixtures of
hydrocarbons
Mineral A mineral is a naturally occurring inorganic solid, with a definite chemical composition, and an
ordered atomic arrangement. Minerals are naturally occurring, inorganic (are not made up fromplants or animals) and are solid, among other characteristics.

CHARACTERISTICS
Oil, gas, and solid mineral resourcesthe non-renewable extractive industries
are major contributors to many developing countries economies.
Proper stewardship of extractive industries and the revenues they generate has tremendous potential to
lift people out of poverty and contribute to sustainable development ;
infrastructure development
social service delivery
These industries create jobs directly and indirectly, transfer technologies and knowledge
Extractive industry revenue tends to be uncertain, volatile, and exhaustibleall characteristics that pose
enormous challenges to policymakers.
Many resource-rich, developing countries have fallen prey to the resource curse, underwhich poor
policy choices and corruption have exacerbated cycles of poverty and conflict.

8. Market Power Host governments may not be able to exercise
appreciable control over the flow of someresources to the market. Largest oil producersaccount for 60% of world production.
9. Exhaustibility Finiteness of potential production
10. Environment Significant environment challenges both from the
inescapable footprint of extraction activities andaccidental oil spillage plus other damages
Significant gas flaring and venting
11. Asymmetrical Information Policy makers will generally have less
information of the geology and commercialcircumstances at all stages of the value chain
INTERFACE BETWEEN MINERALS AND PETROLEUM
1. Both are extractive industries2. High sunk costs, Long production periods
3. Both are found under the surface but at differentdepths4. For case of Uganda, as of now both sectors are
under one Ministry5. Subject to Uncertainty at all stages
Revenues are volatile and exhaustibleallcharacteristics that pose enormous challenges topolicymakers.
Geology posses its own uncertainty
6. Substantive resource rent Royalties Corporate tax Import tax VAT others

Introduction (4)
1.1 Extractive Industry
Petroleum
1. Found deep in the subsurface2. complex technology is needed forextraction
3. Not a mass employer4. High risk high reward industry5. Petroleum Exploration and Production Act
19856. High initial investment capital7. Revenue sharing mechanism is different
(landlord does not get royalties) onlyregional and central government getroyalties
Minerals
1. Found near the surface2. Less complex technology3. Can be a mass employer since anyone
is free to extract minerals in somegazetted areas
4. Minimum risk involved5. Mining Act, 2003 and the Mining
Regulations of 2004 as well as theMinerals (Prohibition of Exportation) ActCap 147.
6. Does not require high initial investmentcapital
7. Land lords receive royalties

Source rock;A rock rich in organic matter which, if heated
sufficiently, will generate oil or gas.
Reservoir rock;A rock having sufficient porosity andpermeability to store and transmit fluids.
Porosity; The percentage of pore volume or void space, or thatvolume within rocks that can contain fluids. The fluids may bewater, air, oil or gas.
Permeability; The ability of a rock to transmit fluids.
Migration; Hydrocarbon migration and movement is possible ifthe reservoir rock has good porosity and permeability
Cap/Seal;A relatively impermeable rock (commonly shale,anhydrite or salt) that forms a barrier or cap above and aroundreservoir rock such that fluids cannot migrate beyond thereservoir.
Graben; A graben is a depressed block of land bordered by
parallel faults. Graben is German word for ditch.

INVESTMENTS MADE
Industry is capital intensive and high risk
So far, risk capital invested in seismic surveys, exploratory and appraisal drillingto a total of US$1.7 billion
Sharp increase in investment after first discovery
This is significant investment and will rise to many fold with further investmentsexpected in field development, production of the crude oil, processing andtransportation facilities
The costs incurred in the sector in the country so far are classified as FindingCosts
Means the costs of finding commercial reserves of oil in USD per barrel
On the global scale, the finding costs range between $5 - $25 per barrel

The National Oil and Gas Policy (NOGP) is thekey document providing guidance to the Oil andgas sector in Uganda.
It was developed to comprehensively addressissues of exploration, development, productionand utilisation of the countrys oil resourcesfollowing the discovery of commercial oilreserves in 2006.
NOGP was approved by cabinet in January 2008after a thorough consultative process.

Key Policy objectives for the oil and gas sector before the National Oil and Gas
Policy for Uganda were covered in the Energy Policy of 2002 and these were;
1.Capacity building and institutional development,
2. Investment promotion through acquisition of field geological, geophysical andgeochemical data and attraction of oil companies to invest; and
3. Monitoring compliance of agreed work programs, budgets and environment
protection.
The discovery and confirmation of commercial reserves of petroleum in the countrybrought about new issues that necessitated putting in place a NATIONAL OIL AND
GAS POLICY for the country.23

Appreciate the progress and achievements that have been made in the sector.
Oil and Gas Industry Characteristics (High Risk Industry, High Reward, Capital intensive, Internationaland has potential to disrupt other sectors and can also be easily disrupted) require responsible media toavoid disruption of the sector and contribute to managing expectations.
Be proactive in reporting about the oil and gas sector and ensure objective coverage of the sector.
Seek the correct information from the right sources to avoid misrepresentations based on selfishinterests; Get the right mix between political debates and expert information; there is tendency to relymore on politicians than experts for media stories.
Network with key actors in the sector and obtain information with them to the extent that does not offendyour professionalism in order to deploy reporters optimally and for key tasks. Key actors include MEMD,Finance, Parliament, Oil companies, NEMA, UWA, URA etc.
Find space and airtime in your channels for the sector, even when there are no "fireworks" around thesector to give people information. Oil stories make interesting reading/listening.
Work closely with the MEMD and PEPD Communications Office to ensure information flow.

CONCLUDING REMARKS
31
The intensive promotional and exploration efforts to establish Ugandas petroleum potential were
successful as commercially exploitable reserves of oil and gas were confirmed in the country in 2006.
Efforts are now being made to commercialize the discovered resources, initially through power
generation and subsequently through refining of the crude oil.
Investment in the sector is expected to increase especially as preparation of the infrastructure required
for production is put in place.
There is need to ensure that the industry is regulated very well especially since errors can be very costly
in terms of money, environment and lives.
The key challenges in the sector include the general publics anxiety and expectation and the need toput in place an appropriate institutional and regulatory framework for the sector.
These and other challenges in the sector are well identified and described in the countrys oil and gas
policy and therefore implementation of this policy should go along way in addressing these challenges.
Ugandans must continue to position themselves to benefit from the opportunities in the sector.
