The area with the highest potential for petroleum production in Uganda is the Albertine Graben

The Graben forms the northern most part of the Western arm of the East African Rift System

It is a Tertiary rift, 500 km long, averaging 45 km wide and 23,000 sq km (Ugandan part)

STATUS OF LICENSING

Albertine Graben is currently sub- divided into 10 Exploration Areas (EAs)

5 active Production Sharing Agreements (PSAs)

Companies currently licensed are Tullow Oil, Neptune Petroleum and Dominion Petroleum

Tullow is finalising the process of farming down its interests to Total and CNOOC (33.33% each) taking into account Government participation

PEPD IN BRIEF Petroleum Exploration and Production Department (PEPD) is a

department in the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development in Uganda

Formed in September 1991 from a Petroleum Unit under Geological Survey and Mines Department (GSMD)

Petroleum (Exploration and Production) Act, Chapter 150, Laws of Uganda 2000, vest upon PEPD the mandate to monitor and regulate upstream activities undertaken by oil companies

In the exploration, development and production of oil and gas resources, oil companies can participate in Uganda by entering into agreement (PSA) with Government

ORGANISATION



Promotion of petroleum exploration in the country

Monitor and regulate licensees undertaking petroleum exploration and

production in the country

Acquire, process and interpret geophysical, geological and geochemical

data with a view of assessing the country's petroleum potential

Initiate policy and legislation on petroleum exploration and development

Build national capacity in the field of petroleum exploration and

development

Implement the National Oil and Gas Policy (2008)

NDR ORGANISATION



Protection and preservation of the country’s E&P data for the benefits of future generations;

Encouragement of exploration activity by making high quality data available quickly to potential investors; and,

To strengthen information sharing and exchange of E&P data among the various stakeholders.

OBJECTIVES OF THE NDR



Currently semi-permanent storage for: Seismic data tapes well data (reports, logs, CDs) Rock (cores, cuttings, fluids)

Future plan for storage in a modern data centre IT infrastructure includes various servers, LAN, Backup and

recovery mechanisms: Software: Desktop OS (windows), Geoscience and Mapping, MS

Field Tape Copying & Transcription

Commenced: Feb 2010



Task Create run lists and copy raw seismic and support data from various

media (3480, 3490, LT02, etc) onto computer hard disk Carry out QC, reformatting and data header standardization measures to

ensure the data conform to accepted industry standard Security back-up onto external disks and servers Transcription of data onto PEPD acceptable media i.e 3590 which

guarantee reasonable level of data durability.

ONGOING PROJECTS

Output 96% of 3,114 tapes copied to disk, QC’ed and ready for transcription to

IBM 3590 cartridges



ONGOING PROJECTS

Crane MS Access Dbase Development

Commenced: Feb 2010

Personnel: VariousStatus: 90% done, populating



DM Structure is loosely defined

Lack of dedicated data management/IT personnel

Seismic data on various media with lack of reading capabilities

Lack of data submission guidelines

Storage facilities (buildings) and methods not conforming to industry

standards

Naming conventions! Funding

CHALLENGES



Improved IT infrastructure

Seismic data transcription to common media

Data backup solutions in the offing

Institutional Framework in offing with data management functions to be

vested on the Petroleum Authority

New legislation being drafted to address data submission

ACHIEVEMENTS



Even for small amounts of data, careful planning is key You need dedicated people on DM

Consideration to employ at least one dedicated IT Resource Development of data submission guidelines Complete tape transcription Current law being updated to clearly define DM roles Construction of a modern data centre Consideration to scan all hard copy data Complete Crane Dbase devt, make data avail on portal/web
