Location
The headquarters of TEPU are located on the 5th Floor, Course View Towers, at 21 Yusuf Lule Road, in Kampala, Uganda's capital and largest city.[1]
History
TEPU was founded in 2010.[4] It began operations on 21 February 2012 when Tullow Oil completed a farm down of two thirds of its interests to Total S.A. and CNOOC for US$2.9 billion.[5] TEPU, along with partner CNOOC, continues to work with the Ugandan government on the development plan for the Albertine Grabben, which will include an oil refinery in Uganda and an export crude oil pipeline.[6]
Operations
Total E&P Uganda (TEPU) is working in Exploration Area 1 (EA-1) and Exploration Area 1A (EA-1A) within the Albertine Region, Lake Albert.[7] A significant portion of these areas lie within the confines of Murchison Falls National Park.[2] TEPU s playing a leading role in coordination the planning and execution of the export crude oil pipeline from Lake Albert to the Indian Ocean coast.[8][9] On 30 August 2016, TEPU was awarded three production licenses by the government of Uganda. This paves the way for the Final Investment Decision within the next 18 months by TEPU and its partners, with field oil expected in the year 2020.[10]
In March 2018, TEPU in collaboration with the German Cooperation Agency (GIZ), hired Q-Sourcing, a project management and human resource company, to carry out advanced welding training for the first 200 specialist welders destined to work on the Uganda Oil Refinery and the East African Crude Oil Pipeline, in which Total SA maintains shareholding.[11]
In June 2021, TEPU awarded contracts worth US$1.9 billion to five subcontractor companies, to perform further work in the Tilenga Area of the Albertine Graben, in preparation for first commercial oil expected in 2025.[12] In August 2022, the first of three oil rigs ordered by Total Energies, named ZPEB Rig 1501, underwent successful stress testing at the manufacturing plant in China. Shipment from China to Buliisa and finally to the Tilenga drilling area is expected to take three months.[13]
Philanthropy
In November 2015, following the outbreak of cholera along the landing sites of the eastern shores of Lake Albert, TEPU donated an assortment of medical supplies to the districts of Buliisa, Hoima, and Masindi to assist in the fight against the epidemic. The donated items included 600 disposable gowns, gum boots, bottles of antiseptic scrub, disinfectant, intravenous fluids, and disposable gloves. The local health officer pointed out that the ultimate solution is to improve sanitation amongst the fishing villages, however[14]
