Project overview
One of Uganda’s two flagship upstream developments.
Tilenga straddles Buliisa and Nwoya districts north of Lake Albert. The project combines three production licences from Contract Area 1 and three from Licence Area 2.
The licences include Jobi-Rii, Gunya, Ngiri, Kasamene-Wahrindi, Kigogole-Ngara and Nsoga. Approximately 400 wells are planned from 31 locations, reducing the development footprint while supplying a central processing facility in Buliisa.
