There is no equivalent project of such an industrial drilling magnitude in a remote and sensitive area within the Company 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. Factory Drilling with

a well delivered every 4 days using 3 drilling rigs simultaneously will necessitate standardization of equipment and procedures, strict enforcement of Drilling & Well instructions, safe and efficient logistic management on site. The

project is focused on delivering the lowest possible cost, which requires challenging TOTAL design concepts as well as substantially challenging the TOTAL referential. Multicultural environment: Contractors are anticipated to be located in various parts of the world. Ugandan rules and regulations, administrative requirements and technical authorizations as well as International codes for onshore plant will apply.

Main Duties and Responsibilities:

• Adopt and demonstrate an exemplary behavior with regard to HSE rules with associated implementation and control within his area of responsibility.

• Control and validate well construction engineering/design performed at pre-project stage.
• Perform drilling engineering studies and drilling software simulations to ensure wells construction and wells integrity, taking into account complex anti-collision requirements and follow up.
• Assist the Head of drilling engineering for the preparation of the General Drilling Program.
• Participate in the preparation of well’s SOR in collaboration with Completion engineering team and GSR team, with special focus on well technical feasibility.
• Perform collaborative work with GSR team to minimize well trajectories complexity while maximizing reservoir requirements ensuring wells productivity.
• Prepare detailed well drilling programs and issue reports and studies on specific well issues. 
• Promote new drilling techniques and equipment.
• Involved in drilling operations and propose improvements.
• Prepare technical input to interactions with authorities and partners.
• Conduct end of activity debriefings and prepare End Of Well Report
