Uganda is now the home to East Africa’s first oil and gas testing laboratory. The laboratory to test oil and gas bearing reservoirs, as well as determining the quality and quantity of oil and gas, was launched in Kampala.
The laboratory, a business of Icon Industrial Services Ltd., was commissioned by minister of oil Peter Lokeris during a ceremony last week.
Lokeris said the laboratory would save the Uganda government time and money spent in testing oil samples from abroad for testing in mainly Arab countries as well as South America. Also, other East African countries in oil and gas exploration can now test their samples in Uganda.
