A consortium of a subsidiary of McDermott International, Ltd and Sinopec International Petroleum Service Corporation today announced it has received a conditional Letter of Award for the future contract valued at approximately\u00a0$2 billion<\/span>\u00a0from Total for the Tilenga project. Formal contract award remains subject to Tilenga Partners approval. The Tilenga project is located in the Lake Albert Basin, Republic of\u00a0Uganda<\/span>\u00a0and is the centerpiece of oil projects projected to bring investments of over\u00a0$10 billion<\/span>\u00a0to\u00a0Uganda<\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0Tanzania<\/span>. Tilenga includes six oil fields and will feature 426 oil wells at full production.<\/p>\n

The consortium will provide engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC) services for the development of an onshore oil field that will generate up to 200,000 barrels per day (BPD). It will consist of 31 well pads connected to a central processing facility (CPF) via buried flowlines.<\/p>\n

“This is a first step which allows launching the detailed engineering and procurement activities before the final approval by the Partners. This prestigious project demonstrates the continuity and strength of our business relationship with TotalEnergies and their partners CNOOC International of\u00a0China<\/span>\u00a0and Uganda National Oil Company (UNOC),” said\u00a0Tareq Kawash<\/span>, Senior Vice President,\u00a0Europe<\/span>,\u00a0Middle East<\/span>,\u00a0Africa<\/span>. “This is a momentous and essential project for\u00a0Uganda<\/span>\u00a0for the development of its national companies and citizens\u2014and as we continue to grow our footprint in\u00a0Africa<\/span>, we are committed to expanding local content opportunities in the communities in which we operate.”<\/p>\n

The project will stimulate economic growth in\u00a0Uganda<\/span>\u00a0and create up to 20,000 direct and indirect jobs, bringing a significant number of meaningful training opportunities for the local labor force. McDermott is committed to implementing these projects in a manner that fully addresses the sensitive environmental context and the needs of all stakeholders in the area.<\/p>\n

\n

“This important step further strengthens years of successful collaboration with TotalEnergies on a wide portfolio of world-class projects in the Offshore, Petrochemicals and LNG segments\u2014where TotalEnergies is a major stakeholder,” said\u00a0Samik Mukherjee<\/span>, McDermott’s Group Senior Vice President for Projects.<\/p>\n

The project will be led from McDermott’s offices West of\u00a0London, United Kingdom<\/span>\u00a0and Sinopec’s office in Yangzhou,\u00a0China<\/span>, before transitioning to\u00a0Uganda<\/span>\u00a0for the construction activities. Work began in second quarter 2021 and first oil is expected in 2025.<\/p>\n
