Описание: Rwanda Claims to Discover Oil for 1st Time in Lake Kivu, Backtracks Later | Firstpost Africa | N18G

Rwanda might just be the next oil-producing nation in Africa. Rwanda has indicated a potential oil discovery in the country for the first time. The CEO of Rwanda Mines, Petroleum and Gas Board (RMB) stated that 13 oil wells have been found in the Lake Kivu region. The lake is known to contain large amounts of dissolved gases such as methane and carbon dioxide. However, the government has now backtracked from the claim of discovering the oil in Rwanda. A statement put out by the RMB indicated that it was too early to be definite. It further added that it was pitching for relevant potential actors to participate in further stages of exploration and production of oil. If Rwanda confirms it has found oil, this will likely draw other countries who might want to explore oil in the country amid their own growing energy needs. Watch for more.
