KAMPALA Uganda--French oil giant Total SA is advancing its
Tilenga oil fields in Uganda weeks after reaching a deal for the
project's export pipeline, said Jean-Yves Poulet, head of Total's
Ugandan unit.
Site preparation activities for the 190,000 barrels-a-day
project have started, in preparation for the main construction
activities, Mr. Poulet said. Oil production from the project, which
involves six oil fields, is expected to start in 2025 and it will
be pumped through a 900-mile pipeline to the Tanzanian port of
Tanga.
Uganda-based contractor Mota-Engil is currently constructing
drainage, internal roads at the site that will host the Tilenga
Central Processing Facility, yards and camps. Total says some $10
billion is required to develop the oil fields and pipeline.
Total holds a majority stake in the project, which is being
jointly developed with CNOOC Ltd.
