Wataalamu Oil Consultancy Limited is a private company incorporated in Kenya and headquartered in Nairobi. The Company provides a number of consultancy and advisory services pertinent to the upstream oil and gas industry in the greater East Africa Region, namely Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and the Northern part of Mozambique. Significant crude oil reserves have been discovered in Kenya and Uganda while Tanzania and Mozambique have enormous gas reserves. There are multiple other onshore and offshore areas where oil and gas exploration and appraisal activities are ongoing.
