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 31 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 reservoirs characteristics. The project also includes an extended interconnecting network with temperature preservation.

Multicultural environment: Contractors are anticipated to be located in various parts of the world. Ugandan rules and regulations, administrative requirements and technical authorizations as well as International codes for onshore plant will apply.

• Review and challenge operational programs.
• Participate in Drill & Completion Well On Paper and Pre-Spud meetings.
• During the operations, continue to contribute to the improvement of the wells programs and operational procedures by validating the end of wells reports and ensuring that affiliates REX and DWIP are considered in the reporting.

Operations Follow Up: 

• Responsible for drilling & completion operations follow-up whilst optimizing performance and costs.
• Responsible for coordinating the day-to-day operations with fluids, -completion, logistics and geosciences.
• Active use of the RTOC (Real Time Operating Center, in country) to support site and accelerate decision making.
• Update hierarchy of current operations status and notify immediately in case of problems.
