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.
