The Ugandan government has extended Oranto’s license to explore crude oil and natural gas for two additional years. The license covers hydrocarbon exploration activities in the Ngassa Deep and Ngassa Shallow exploration areas.
This extension, effective from December 2023, allows Oranto to continue its exploration and appraisal drilling activities in these promising blocks.
Oranto Petroleum, a Nigerian-based oil and gas company, has held the licenses for these blocks since 2017.
The Centurion team, led by Zion Adeoye (Partner) and Gari Matarirano (Senior Counsel), provided comprehensive legal and advisory services to Oranto, ensuring a smooth process in the license renewal negotiations with the Ugandan government.
