“…The people mindset toward becoming a Petro-citizenship needs to be assessed because it might also affect petroleum development in the country [ 193 ]. Nevertheless, continuous discovery of oil deposits and estimation of available oil reserves is of great interest to the country [ 194 ].…”

We live in a world that is completely dependent on energy; thus, humankind can no longer live without power. With electricity being the main form of energy today, this has increased the complexity of our life today. In Uganda, electricity generation is mainly through hydropower, which puts the country in the bottleneck of overdependence on one source of energy. There are many energy systems out there that the country can use to diversify its electricity generation. Therefore, the need to understand the level of development and utilization of various energy systems has been the underlying question for this present study. A comprehensive literature survey was conducted using electronic databases, including ScienceDirect, Wiley, Sage, Scopus, Taylor & Francis, and Google Scholar. The publications in the form of reports, conference papers, working papers, discussion papers, journal articles, book sections, and textbooks were considered in this study. In total, 11 energy systems, including human and animal energy, solid biomass (firewood), hydropower, wind, geothermal, solar, nuclear, peat, coal, petroleum, and nonsolid biomass (methanol, hydrogen, ethanol, biodiesel, and biogas), are described. The current and future development and utilization of these energy systems have been described. The challenges for developing and utilizing these systems were elaborated on, and the solutions for their challenges were presented. Hydropower from the Nile River, being the main river for large hydropower plant construction, is the dominant energy system in Uganda. Nuclear energy will be the salvation for the country’s electric energy supply in the near future. Therefore, Uganda needs to bet big on nuclear energy.

“…Haldia et al, 2013, used MDT pressure data with a CMR log to determine the reservoir properties [25]. The MDT test data with the existing core test was used by Wei Xu et al, 2018 [26] to determine the net reservoir cutoffs. The average permeability estimated from MDT pressure transient analysis was successfully used to determine the net pay cut-off in the Abadi field [27].…”

Thinly bedded sand-shale heterolithic are commonly found as a marginal reservoir in the Malay Basin. In the evaluation of heterolithic reservoirs, a key challenge is to determine the appropriate petrophysical properties cutoff. This study used the Modular Dynamic Tester (MDT) pressure tests to determine the appropriate petrophysical properties cutoff applicable to heterolithic intervals. Intrinsic permeability analysis and MDT mobility plots were used to determine the cutoffs for shale volume and total porosity. Subsequently, hydrocarbon pore volume thickness (with shale volume and porosity cutoff applied) was plotted against water saturation to determine the water saturation cut-off value. In this case study, the reservoir cutoffs applied are shale volume less than 60% and total porosity in excess of 12 %. The hydrocarbon pay cutoff was set at a water saturation less than 85 %.
