Uganda’s multi-million dollar Tilenga Oil Project which is being implemented in Buliisa and Nwoya districts faces numerous hurdles ranging from legal suits, contestation from locals to environmental concerns.
Under the project, government plans to build a central processing facility (CPF) with capacity to process 190,000 barrels of oil and 700,000 barrels of total liquid per day.
The project entails drilling 200 water injector wells, 196 oil producer wells, two polymer pilot wells and 28 reference wells which will be drilled on 31 well-pads.
