Ugandans will finally get a chance this month to view preparations by China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) to develop the Kingfisher field on the shores of Lake Albert, aided by the Petroleum Authority of Uganda (PAU).

The PAU will present an Environmental & Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) report in two public hearings scheduled for 19 June and 22 June in the districts of Kikuube and Hoima respectively, allowing for public discussion of the project plans.
