Dec. 29 (Bloomberg) -- Uganda’s National Environment Management Authority approved the exploration of oil in a national game park, said Henry Okello Oryem, the minister of state for internal relations.
The authority cleared the exploration in the Murchison National Park in the country’s northern district of Amuru after it was satisfied that the investors will mitigate environmental damage in the park, the minister said today in an interview in the capital, Kampala.
“The oil isn’t in the area habited by people, but in a game park,” Oryem said. “Nema gave them clearance to explore,” he said, without giving further details.
Tullow Oil Plc, the U.K. explorer with the most licenses in Africa, and Heritage Oil Plc, who are equal partners in Blocks 1 and 3A in Uganda’s Lake Albert, were jointly awarded the Amuru license in 2004, according to Uganda’s Energy Ministry.
