Location Buliisa site on Rotation
Duration 18 months+
Status Rotational 4x4

There is no equivalent project of such an industrial drilling magnitude in a remote and sensitive area within the Company today.
The Tilenga oilfields are partly situated in a protected National Park, partly beneath the river Nile wetlands area, and within densely populated area in a rural and remote part of Uganda. Activities exposed to the risk of major incidents with severe potential consequences due to local environment and important presence of NGO’s. Factory Drilling with a well delivered every 4 days using 3 drilling rigs simultaneously will necessitate standardization of equipment and procedures, strict enforcement of Drilling & Well instructions, safe and efficient logistic management on site. The project is focused on delivering the lowest possible cost, which requires challenging TotalEnergies design concepts as well as substantially challenging the TotalEnergies referential.

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. The Pre-commissioning Leader must navigate these challenges while ensuring efficient and safe execution of all Pre-commissioning activities across multiple disciplines and locations

Activities
Main Missions
Planning and Coordination:
• Develop and update short-term plans and look-ahead plans for the Oil Treatment Unit (OTU), work in line with the overall project schedule.
• Coordinate daily and weekly work fronts with site supervisors, discipline leads, and subcontractors to optimize resource allocation and the sequencing of activities. Work Monitoring :
• Track and monitor the daily progress of OTU activities (installation, alignment, mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation connections).
• Monitor the status of critical equipment, long-lead items, and materials required for OTU.
• Ensure the tracking of engineering deliverables, shop drawings, and technical submissions. Technical Support and Interfaces :
• Assist site teams in resolving technical queries and clarifying construction details.
• Coordinate with mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, and commissioning teams to ensure a smooth workflow and timely handovers. Pre-commissioning and Readiness:
• Monitor pre-commissioning activities, punch list completion, and preparation for OTU commissioning.
• Verify the conformity of auxiliary systems (fuel gas, air intake, lubrication, controls) before handover. Communication and Reporting:
• Serve as a communication liaison between SINOPEC and the project team.
• Translate and clarify technical requirements, documentation, and meeting outcomes to ensure mutual understanding.
• Prepare concise daily reports on progress, issues, and required actions.
• Maintain accurate records of meetings, decisions, and follow-up actions.
