Construction of Oilfield Development
Project, Chad/Cameroon
The challenge to the customer
The Chad/Cameroon oilfield project
was a development of three oilfields located in a remote area of
Southern Chad and the construction of a 1,070 kilometre pipeline
linking Chad to a marine export terminal offshore Cameroon. When
Kellogg Brown and Root (KBR) was contracted to design and construct
the production facilities, access to a secure and reliable power
supply was vital.
Aggreko's solution
Aggreko supplied a 12 MW / 6.6kV
power package during construction of the oilfield facility.
Fifty-six generators installed around the site supplied power for
fabrication, construction and life support facilities including the
specially built work camps that provided construction workers with
basic support such as meals, lodging, showers, laundry and medical
care. With voltages on the site ranging from 110V to 400V, a tailor
made distribution system provided 65 various distribution boards
and small transformers. Extra equipment was supplied at short
notice after the client requested additional power to assist in
construction and commissioning of the central oilfield facility and
help achieve early oil production from the field.
Benefits to the customer
Aggreko employees on site received
the ESSO Chad Construction Quarterly Award for quality and
excellence. The award was given in recognition of the commitment
and dedication shown by the Aggreko team, the 24 hour a day on site
availability, their expertise when working in such difficult
conditions, and the ability to supply extra equipment at short
notice.
