Construction of Oilfield Development Project
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: power generator rental
Aggreko supplied a 12 MW / 6.6kV power
generation 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.
