Context and environment
Green Field Project in the country without Oil and Gaz production experience, TEPU not include operation department. Tilenga is a remote location in UGANDA near Albert Lake with particular sensitive national park environmental conditions.
Maintenance complexity index of Tilenga is estimated to 3100 (one of the biggest ICSS systems in EP operated assets), that place Tilenga to the first place of the operated single TotalEnergies assets and equivalence of two TotalEnergies operated FPSO. Huge onshore challenge related to the facilities localization on the area of 25km by 15km and TotalEnergies E&P unique project with 200 ESP oil production wells, 200 water injection wells and 26 observation wells; heavy and waxy oils produced from 29 well pads, (with 8 of them located in a national park with sensitive environment) and treated in a Production Center of 200,000 bopd oil capacity and 650,000 bld of water treatment and reinjection capacity. Facilities will be designed to extract 400m3 per day of LPG from Produced gas. LPG export is expected to be by truck (30 LPG truck loading for first 5 years of operation). Tilenga is Onshore development with one offshore remote operated platform located 2 km offshore of Lake Albert. Reservoir pressure maintenance is ensured by water injection; recovery improvement test will be done from First oil using polymer water injection depending on the reservoir characteristics. The project also includes an extended interconnecting network with temperature preservation for oil and water injection network. 180 km is the estimated length of infield lines.
Multicultural environment, Ugandan rules and regulations, administrative requirements and technical authorizations as well as international codes for onshore plant will apply.
