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 TotalEnergies design concepts as

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.
