The ‘Drilog and Welleader’ system and the land rig ‘LR8001’ represent the most cutting-edge Chinese oil drilling technology in the oil and gas industry exploration and development sector and have arrived at the Kingfisher Oil fields. A luxurious land rig named “LR8001” was made specifically for the Kingfisher project in Uganda. It is outfitted with cutting-edge technologies, including well-site de-noising control, zero discharge system, and pipe column automation system, making it the first completely automated 8-kilometre silent rig in Africa. The entire set of machinery facilitates the coordinated operation of various wellbore and well types while also successfully safeguarding the local ecological environment while in use.
For the next three weeks, Malaba is planned to transport 18 to trucks each day to Well Pad 2 at the Kingfisher Development area.
This confirms CNOOC Uganda Limited’s dedication to meeting the deadline for the first oil delivery.
“With the help of this oil drilling equipment, Uganda will be able to grow into a significant producer of crude oil in East Africa.
According to Mr. Chen Zhuobiao, President of CNOOC Uganda Limited, “The equipment shall also bring some localization job opportunities for Ugandans during the well drilling and completion process, train more localized talents for oilfield development, and bring tangible changes to local economic development and livelihood to make the “Pearl of Africa” brighter.
“We are pleased that the rig was delivered by CNOOC Uganda Limited on time.
Ernest Rubondo, Executive Director of the Petroleum Authority of Uganda, declared, ‘’We will continue to help the company in its efforts to expedite construction of the Kingfisher project in Uganda’’.
