Services contract (OFS)
Lump-sum or schedule-of-rates work on your wells and facilities — wireline, workover, maintenance, logistics. The fastest frame to put in place, with commitments on availability and lead times.
Upstream · Activities
E&P activities
Explore, characterise, produce: the upstream activities EnerTchad aims to run in the Doba and Bongor basins — taking over mature fields, marginal blocks and seismic characterisation.
Exploration & Production · Activities
Explore & produce, in Chad
EnerTchad aims to take over the mature fields and marginal blocks of the Doba and Bongor basins: frugal production, designed for reservoirs the large operators leave behind. An agile approach, where value remains to be captured in-country. (ambition · company in formation)
The playing field, documented: seven sedimentary basins and a 2025 cadastre with 38 open blocks — mapped, with dated public sources, in the sector Atlas.
Mature fields
Taking over and optimising declining fields — where every additional barrel counts.
Learn more
- Target: declining fields of the Doba and Bongor basins.
- Higher recovery factor through EOR with local inputs.
- Progressive take-over, at the pace of capital raises.
Use case · cost reduction
Challenge — The mature fields of Doba and Bongor are declining and the large operators are stepping away.
Integrated answer — Frugal take-over coupled with local-input EOR, at the pace of capital raised.
Targeted gainAdditional barrels captured from fields deemed end-of-life
Marginal blocks
Re-assessing blocks the majors deem too small: a target portfolio suited to an agile structure.
Learn more
- Blocks deemed unprofitable by the large operators.
- A frugal model suited to small volumes.
- Consortium set-ups on the open blocks of the registry.
Use case · cost reduction
Challenge — Blocks deemed too small by the majors remain unexploited.
Integrated answer — An agile model and consortium set-ups on the open blocks of the registry.
Targeted gainA right-sized portfolio, where value remains to be captured
Seismic & subsurface
Characterising the reservoir before investing: data, models and geological de-risking.
Learn more
- Re-interpretation of existing public data.
- Targeted acquisition where uncertainty is high.
- Geological models to de-risk before committing.
Use case · cost reduction
Challenge — Investing without characterising the reservoir exposes you to geological failure.
Integrated answer — Re-interpretation of public data, then targeted seismic where uncertainty is high.
Targeted gainA de-risked commitment decision before any heavy spending
Take-over & re-entry
Rehabilitating existing wells and completions: fast production at lower capital.
Learn more
- Rehabilitation of wells and completions in place.
- Fast production at low initial capital.
- Integrity diagnostic before any return to service.
- Crude captured from day one of service: specialised “frac tank” containers on bunds — spill protection, first barrels monetised instead of burnt.
Use case · cost reduction
Challenge — Drilling new wells is costly and takes years.
Integrated answer — Rehabilitation of existing wells and completions after an integrity diagnostic.
Targeted gainProduction restarted fast, at low initial capital
Frugal production
Solar-gas site power, lean operations — lowering the technical cost per barrel.
Learn more
- Hybrid solar-gas site power.
- Lean, automated operations, reduced technical cost.
- Routine flaring avoided (target) — controlled footprint.
Use case · cost reduction
Challenge — The technical cost per barrel weighs down the profitability of small volumes.
Integrated answer — Hybrid solar-gas site power and lean automated operations.
Targeted gainTechnical cost lowered · routine flaring avoided (target)
Local content
Chadian subcontracting, talent and inputs prioritised on every upstream worksite.
Learn more
- Priority to Chadian companies and talent.
- Inputs sourced in-country whenever possible.
- Skills transfer through Tchaditude.
Use case · cost reduction
Challenge — The rent and the know-how leave the country too often.
Integrated answer — Priority to Chadian companies and talent, transfer through Tchaditude.
Targeted gainValue, jobs and skills anchored in Chad
Our approach, step by step
MapRead the public data and the registry: spot the fields with high neglected potential.
De-riskTargeted seismic, re-interpretation and tests — confirm the reservoir before committing.
Take overWell re-entries, completions and enhanced recovery to restart production.
OptimiseDigital monitoring and EOR: maximising the recovery factor over time.

Our method
From data to first barrel: the six-step journey
Every field or block take-over follows the same disciplined path — each step only starts if the previous one has held its numbers.
Step 1
Data & registry
Inventory of public data, open blocks of the registry, well histories: mapping what exists before spending.
Step 2
Geological model
Seismic re-interpretation, static reservoir model, volume estimates: turning uncertainty into quantified ranges.
Step 3
Frugal development plan
Staged scenarios: re-entries first, new wells next, EOR last. Each stage is funded by the previous one.
Step 4
Staged financing
Capital raises aligned with technical milestones; consortiums on open blocks to share risk and initial outlay.
Step 5
Integrated OFS execution
Our eight oilfield services mobilised under a single contract — from site earthworks to first production.
Step 6
Instrumented production & EOR
Telemetry, nodal analysis, then local-input enhanced recovery as decline sets in: +8–17% of OOIP targeted.
Work with us
Four partnership frames, one same care for the useful barrel.
E&P operator, block holder or technical partner: EnerTchad — a company in formation — offers graduated engagement frames, from a simple services contract to an equity stake, always within the Chadian Petroleum Code and the permits in force.
Study protocol & EOR pilot
Data access under NDA, process screening in your reservoir data, design then execution of a pilot measured in additional barrels. The technical way in.
Farm-in / equity stake
Minority interest in marginal blocks or mature fields, when the study demonstrates the potential — progressive equity build-up and shared governance.
Consortium & grouping
Local set-up with operators, oilfield-services companies and the academy to answer tenders and multi-well campaigns — local content documented contract by contract.
