Notice from Petroleum Authority of Uganda

BACKGROUND 

The Petroleum Authority of Uganda (PAU) is established under the Petroleum Exploration Development and Production Act of 2013 (The Act) to monitor and regulate oil and gas activities in the country. The PAU is required to, among other things, establish and publish annually a central database of persons and entities involved in petroleum activities in Uganda and prohibits any entity or entity from providing goods, works or services for oil and gas activities unless they are registered on the database. 

The PAU has undertaken this registration process since 2017, and the process has developed from a manual application system to a web-based application system, where applicants are required to visit the PAU website and upload the information required for registration. The 2017 and 2018 processes had scheduled windows for registration and the number of applications received increased from 774 to 2558, and subsequently the number of registered entities increased from 513 to 1712 respectively. During 2019, application to the NSD will remain open from 1st September 2018 until 30th June 2019. 

The PAU works with the Uganda Revenue Authority (URA), Uganda Registration Services Bureau (URSB) and National Social Security Fund (NSSF) in the verification of entities and persons to be registered on the National Supplier Database (NSD) and with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the verification of the foreign entities and persons.
