Launch of oil drilling rig at Kingfisher oil fields underway in Kikuube

“We are commissioning the first rig that will begin to drill oils and spudding. There is no oil coming out today. When you drill oil wells you start connecting pipelines to pump out oil and prepare the volumes,” Nabbanja said this afternoon.
