Context & Environment
Tilenga and Kingfisher (OBO) oilfields developments are the Upstream component of the Lake Albert project, Uganda’s first oil development. There is no equivalent project of such an industrial drilling magnitude in a remote and sensitive area within the Company today. A Green Field Project, the Tilenga field, is to be found in a remote location in UGANDA near lake Albert with particularly sensitive environmental conditions. A challenging project: heavy and waxy oils produced from 29 drilling pads, (with some of them located in a national park) and treated in a Production Center of 200,000bopd oil capacity and 650,000 bld of water treatment capacity. Reservoir pressure maintenance is ensured either by water injection or by polymer water injection depending on the reservoir characteristics. The project also includes an extended interconnecting network with temperature preservation. Multicultural environment: Ugandan rules and regulations, administrative requirements, and technical authorizations as well as international codes for onshore plant will apply. Relationships with authorities, partners and stakeholders are key factors for the success of the project
Activities
Main Duties and Responsibilities:
- Participate the Well SORs preparation in close collaboration with the geophysicists, reservoir engineers, Operation Geology & drilling teams.
