Chinese companies in Uganda have created job opportunities and empowered young talents in the east African country’s emerging oil industry.
The Kingfisher oil field run by China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC), is located in Kikuube district in the Western Region of Uganda.
Young Ugandans working here are taking on tasks, acquiring skills and knowledge from Chinese experts.
Uganda Petroleum Institute (UPIK) is the premier oil and gas training institute in the region.
CNOOC has partnered with the institute in training and equipping Ugandans with skills that will allow them not only work in the oil and gas sector but also to be qualified for other high-level engineering jobs.
