　　据道琼斯坎帕拉9月28日消息，法国道达尔公司预期公司在乌干达的油田将从2017年开始正式投产，比先前的估计推迟了一年时间。外国公司纷纷表示开发乌干达刚刚开始的能源领域需要克服一系列的问题，从而导致业务的延期。

　　道达尔是在今年初正式进军乌干达，此前因为英国图洛石油公司将位于乌干达的三分之二的勘探资产出售给道达尔公司和中海油的交易一直没有得到乌干达政府的批准。

　　道达尔勘探及开采乌干达公司总经理Loic Laurandel周五告诉记者：“我们正在与我们的合作伙伴以及乌干达政府紧密合作，以确保2017年底能正式生产出石油。

　　然而Laurandel表示，石油生产比原计划将整整晚一年时间。今年2月份在完成26亿美元的协议时，图洛石油勘探主管Angus McCoss表示，2016年应该能正式生产出石油。

　　Total Sees Uganda Oil Output One Year Later Than Hoped

　　By Nicholas Bariyo

　　KAMPALA -- Total expects to pump commercial oil production from its fields in Uganda to start from 2017, a year later than previous estimates had suggested, as the foreign firms charged with developing the country's nascent energy sector try to overcome a host of issues that have delayed operations.

　　Total entered Uganda earlier this year after a long-delayed deal by British wildcatter Tullow Oil PLC (TLW.LN) to sell two-thirds of its exploration assets in the country to the French major and China's Cnooc Ltd. (CEO) was finally approved.

　　"We are working closely with our partners and the Ugandan government to get the necessary approvals to enable us deliver first oil by late 2017," said Loic Laurandel, Total E&P Uganda's general manager told reporters Friday.

　　However, Mr. Laurandel 's assessment of when oil production will commence is a full year later than initially hoped. When the partners completed the $2.6 billion deal in February, Tullow Oil Exploration Director Angus McCoss said first oil should come by 2016.
