Summary Excerpt Details

The main purpose of this study is to carry out a critical analysis of the benefits of foreign capital in Project Financing in Uganda’s oil and gas sector.

Efforts to find oil in Uganda started as far back as the 1980s. However, the initial efforts were not successful in establishing commercially viable deposits in the country. Renewed and consistent exploration efforts commenced in 1980 which culminated into confirmation of commercially viable oil in 2006 . The companies currently licensed to explore, develop and produce petroleum in Uganda are; China National Offshore Oil Corporation Uganda Limited (CNOOC), Total and Total E& P. All these are aimed at facilitating investments in the oil and gas sector.

These company had to seek foreign capital to facilitate the major projects of oil exploration and development and to ensure a steady cash flow of funds to cater for the projects through project financing. This is very critical for the success of any project undertaken by the parties. Most developing countries looking for capital and the only way how they can finance their projects is through project financing in which they receive the continuous flow of cash for the life of the project after guaranteeing the bankability of the project through risk mitigation and other forms of security.

Zielsetzung & Themen

Diese Arbeit untersucht die Konzepte, Anwendungen und den Nutzen der Projektfinanzierung im ugandischen Öl- und Gassektor. Ziel ist es, die Rolle ausländischen Kapitals zu analysieren, dabei auftretende Risiken zu bewerten und Lösungsstrategien zu entwickeln, um die wirtschaftliche Teilhabe durch wirksame Finanzierungsmodelle und lokale Inhaltsanforderungen zu maximieren.

  • Analyse von Risikokategorien und Minderungsstrategien bei der Projektfinanzierung.
  • Untersuchung der rechtlichen und konzeptionellen Rahmenbedingungen in Uganda.
  • Bewertung der Effektivität von Vor- und Nachteilen der Projektfinanzierung.
  • Erforschung von Ansätzen zur Förderung des "Local Content" und der inländischen Wertschöpfung.
  • Optimierung von Finanzierungsmodellen zur Steigerung ausländischer Direktinvestitionen.

Auszug aus dem Buch

2.3.1. The Project Company

According to Peter K, et al, in project finance, an initiative is developed ‘‘in’’ or ‘‘through’’ a project company, which is actually the borrower of the financing. From this perspective, the project company is defined as a new company and a special-purpose vehicle (SPV). This latter expression is not exclusive to project finance and in fact is normally is used in all structured finance deals that require a company for a single purpose (for reasons that are in part the same as those regarding project finance).

According to Clifford Chance, there are particular reasons why the project has to be developed in an SPV, either in terms of the economic or the industrial nature of the project or the bankability of the investment in abstract terms. This study critically analyses the reasons why a project has to be developed in an SPV and whether there are ways that project financing can be made more useful to Ugandans than it is already? A possible exception is a project with several sponsors, which would give rise to the opportunity and/or the need to create a joint venture company in which sponsors participate as shareholders. Choosing a corporate structure in which to develop an investment project could entail applying the ‘‘usual’’ standards of corporate and tax optimization, which is normally how it is done.

There are legal implications of what it means to develop a project ‘‘in’’ or ‘‘through’’ a project company. The project company acts as the formal entity that runs and is the owner of the project: Civil law systems normally use the notion of ‘‘entrepreneur’’ to describe this position with respect to the project. The project company owns, develops, and operates the project (or at least these activities are legally attributable to it). Therefore, the project company is entitled to use the site (as owner or lessee), the industrial plant and its several assets, and all legal relationships with third parties needed to build and operate the project. There are generally two categories of reasons why a project has to be developed in a special-purpose company so that it can be financed on a without-recourse basis: defensive reasons and positive reasons. No limitations or exceptions are allowed, beyond those cases specifically established by the law.

Welche Schlüsselwörter charakterisieren die Arbeit?

Die zentralen Begriffe sind Projektfinanzierung, Ugandas Öl- und Gassektor, Risikomanagement, Local Content und bankfähige Investitionsstrukturen.

Warum ist das SPV-Modell für Öl- und Gasprojekte in Uganda bedeutsam?

Es ermöglicht die rechtliche und finanzielle Isolierung von Projekten, was die "Non-Recourse"-Finanzierung erleichtert und Investoren besser vor allgemeinen wirtschaftlichen Risiken schützt.

Welche Rolle spielt das "Local Content" bei der Optimierung der Vorteile?

Lokale Beteiligung stellt sicher, dass notwendiges Wissen in Uganda verbleibt und die Bevölkerung sowie einheimische Unternehmen direkt oder indirekt von der Wertschöpfung profitieren können.

Wie gehen Kapitalgeber in Uganda mit regulatorischen Risiken um?

Lender nutzen komplexe Vertragswerke, streben staatliche Garantien an und bewerten die Stabilität des regulatorischen Umfelds, um durch unvorhersehbare Gesetzesänderungen verursachte Verluste zu vermeiden.
