Well Management Framework

Company profile 2026

From the wellsite to the software that runs it.

Our oilfield practice delivers integrated well project management, drilling and completion services, intervention and workovers with JV partners including Energy Development Group. That field experience now shapes the drilling, production and subsurface software we license, install and support from Kampala.

East Africa outlook

East Africa is moving from building to producing.

1,443kmEACOP export pipeline, Hoima to Tanga. Expected to receive crude by mid-December 2026.
~230kbpdCombined plateau planned for the Tilenga and Kingfisher developments.
Jun 2027Government's current target for first commercial oil production.
198Wells drilled at Tilenga by April 2026, ahead of its target.
US$2bnCommitted to Ugandan firms through national content to date.
60kbpdPlanned Hoima refinery, the next wave of downstream investment.

From build to operate

Once fields are producing, spending moves to optimisation, integrity, asset performance and data systems, which run for years.

National content favours local partners

Operators and EPCs are required to use registered Ugandan suppliers where they can, so most bids need a local partner.

Oil and gas technology

Software and systems from reservoir to refinery.

We are not tied to one vendor, so we put forward the product that fits the field. Licences, hardware, integration, training and in-country support come under one contract.

Upstream

Subsurface & wells

  • Seismic processing and interpretation
  • Geological modelling and reservoir simulation
  • Well planning and drilling engineering
  • Production optimisation and surveillance

Midstream

Pipelines & terminals

  • Pipeline SCADA and leak detection
  • Integrity and corrosion management
  • Tank farm and terminal automation
  • Custody transfer and metering data

Downstream

Process & operations

  • Process simulation and advanced control
  • Refinery planning and scheduling
  • Operations historians and IIoT
  • Asset performance and predictive maintenance

Plus the hardware to run it: engineering workstations, HPC and GPU clusters for seismic and simulation, servers and storage, edge gateways, field sensors and industrial networks.

Seismic & reservoir simulation

Interpretation, modelling and simulation suites, delivered with the GPU workstations and compute they need, plus training for national geoscience teams.

Better well placement, fewer dry holes, faster field decisions

Production & asset performance

Historians, IIoT, APM and predictive maintenance that turn sensor data into early warnings and higher uptime.

Less unplanned downtime, longer asset life, safer sites
