Context and environment
There is no equivalent project of such an industrial drilling magnitude in a remote and sensitive area within the Group today.
The Tilenga oilfields are partly situated in a protected National Park, partly beneath the river Nile wetlands area, and within densely populated area in a rural and remote part of Uganda. Activities exposed to the risk of major incidents with severe potential consequences due to local environment and important presence of NGO’s.

The project FID was signed on Q1-2022 with a start of drilling operations on Q2 2022 and a Ready for Start-up (RFSU) target of July 2026.
