Context & Environment

The Upstream part of the Lake Albert Development in Uganda consists development of eight oil fields, six onshore fields in EA1 and EA2 North blocks (together known as ‘Tilenga’, operated by TotalEnergies) and two offshore fields in EA3 block

known as ‘Kingfisher’ operated by CNOOC. The development of Tilenga requires drilling, in factory mode, of more than 400 wells from 31 wellpads using 3 drilling rigs. The first oil is planned for the year 2026. All producers are equipped with ESPs. The recovery mechanism is water injection, which shall start at first oil to maximize production and ensure cap rock integrity. The reservoirs are fluviatile-lacustrine sandstones with high permeability, and a wide range of viscosity across the developed area. A Polymer Injection Pre-Development Pilot will be deployed at first oil, to potentially trigger an EOR polymer flood in certain areas of Tilenga.
