Context and environment
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 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 reservoir’s characteristics. The project also includes an extended interconnecting network with temperature preservation.
Multicultural environment: Contractors are anticipated to be 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.

Accountabilities
 Lead his/her team to deliver a cost-effective (OPEX/CAPEX) and optimized design of processing facilities (Topside and Utilities) that meets the requirements of the project in safety, reliability, operability, and maintainability for 25-year design life. Manage interfaces between disciplines.
 Specific budget lines as delegated.
 Provide all aspects of engineering/technical support and assistance to site-based teams.
 Contract Representative for nominated contracts and specific scopes of work.
