Revenues from oil and gas remain an important revenue source (sometimes the largest source). New producers, especially in Africa, aim to use the revenues for development. Yet oil and gas is also a primary source of emissions. Moreover, the revenue flows can be non-transparent, and outright theft is not uncommon. This session explores the issues in: Uganda’s new oil sector; reducing methane emissions in oil and gas production and the impact on revenues and health; oil theft both large and small-scale; and oil licensing, tax havens and corruption.
