@EACOP_ pump station 2 in Sembabule.
Pump stations increase pressure & flow. As oil flows, it loses pressure coz of friction along the pipe wall, changes in terrain (hills, valleys & plateaus) & cooling & increased viscosity. They provide extra pressure.

The 100,000 barrels capacity export tanks.
They will hold purified #TilengaProject crude oil, which will be transported via a feeder pipeline to Hoima where @EACOP_ starts and refinery location.
#RoadToFirstOil
The #TilengaProject central processing facility, which will rid crude oil of impurities ahead of export/refining.
Flow/feeder pipelines connect it to the over 400 oil wells set to produce soon.

Kabalega International Airport is now 96–97% complete.
Uganda’s second international airport is nearly ready for takeoff.

A 45km feeder line will carry crude from the #KingfisherProject in Kikuube to Pump Station One, Hoima.
The pipe surfaces through a gooseneck. At PS1, fiscal & allocation meters measure revenue and oil quantity.

45km of pipeline will move crude from #KingfisherProject in Kikuube to Pump Station One in Hoima.
It rises above ground via a gooseneck. At PS1, fiscal & allocation meters track revenue and oil volumes.

Ongoing work at Pump Station One (PS1) in Hoima.
PS1 is key in the commercialisation of the oil resource. It facilitates export via @EACOP_ & will "feed" the refinery.
It is among the features of the Kabalega Industrial Park managed by @UNOC_UG

A 45-kikometer feeder pipeline will deliver crude oil from the #KingfisherProject in Kikuube ending at Pump Station One (PS1) in Hoima.
It emerges from the ground via gooseneck (black). Key at PS1 are meters: fiscal & allocation to determine revenue & amount.

The goosenecks (black) of the 95-kilometer feeder pipeline, which will deliver crude oil from the #TilengaProject in Buliisa & Nwoya to Pump Station One (PS1) in Hoima.
PS1 is where the @EACOP_ starts & where refinery crude oil will be picked.

Oil sweet oil!
But,
We cannot savor its taste without special equipment/tools.
A bit-drill bit-is one of them. Hooked on other tools, it penetrates layers eventually getting to a reservoir.
This is one of several at the Kingfisher project.

I was part of a team, which facilitated @URA_CG's visit to the oil and gas projects.
@URA_CG & his team got updates on @EACOP_, Kingfisher, Tilenga, airport, and @upikuganda.
He hailed the oil companies among them @UNOC_UG &Petroleum Authority of Uganda.

Each of the Gas Turbine Generators has a capactlity of 20 mega watts, which is more than enough power to run the central processing facility.

These are Gas Turbine Generators (GTGs), a component of the Tilenga Project central processing facility (CPF).
As crude oil is "cleaned", resultant gas is trapped by the GTGs, turning it into power to run the CPF. The excess goes to the grid.

From the meters, the next key stop for oil is the central processing facility (sieve).
The Kingfisher project facility has a capacity of 40,000 barrels per day. The components are undergoing pre-commissioning tests.

These are multi-phase flow meters, which monitor the flow rates in individual oil wells.
They are connected to oil wells on one side & a monitoring unit on the other.
They are at the Kingfisher project, one of two projects "producing" soon.

A PIG?!
In oil and gas?
Yes!
"Pigs" are used to clean pipes after oil flows for a while. Visible in frame one (left) is a pig launcher at the Kingfisher project, Kikuube District.
This pipe network is part of oil's flow after production.

The Tilenga Project central processing facility (oil sieve) in Buliisa district.
It's capacity is 190,000 barrels per day. The oil from the 420 oil wells converges here before it is "cleaned" and later dispatched for refining or export.

Drilling on at Kasemene 2 in Buliisa District (Tilenga Project).
The site has 16 oil wells, which are almost completed. This rig, expected to move to another site in a few days, is one of three in the project.
Tilenga boasts of 420 oil wells.
