Statute overview

About this statute

This law governs petroleum exploration and production activities in Rwanda. This article defines key terms used in the petroleum law. Petroleum ownership and control belong only to the State, and no one may explore for or produce petroleum unless authorized by a licence and a petroleum agreement. Petroleum exploration and production must use a reference map, and the Minister establishes that map by order. A person who wants to do exploration must apply to the Minister for a license.
