The Notebooks of EnerTchad
Understanding Chadian oil, one story at a time.
Exploration & Production · Development economics
Early production: converting time into capital
A first barrel in six to twelve months instead of three to five years, with initial capital divided by five. A three-phase separator at the head delivers on-spec crude from day one: the economics of early development.

EOR screening: the right method for the right reservoir
Chemical, steam or gas? Five reservoir measurements are enough for a first sort — the screening grid explained, and what it says about the Doba sandstones.
14 July 2026 · ≈ 6 min →Exploration & Production · The trade interviewBefore the drilling rig: in the boots of a wellpad site manager
Earthworks, well pads, all-weather roads, the rainy season and HSE golden rules — the trade that prepares the first day of drilling, told from the site.

Making things last: integrity, the invisible trade
Integrity is the trade you only notice when it fails. How EnerTchad intends to make its assets last — from the bottom of the well to the last depot.
22 July 2026 · ≈ 6 min →Technical · In plain wordsMaking a crude flow that does not want to flow
Darcy, nodal analysis, Reynolds, rheology: every link of the chain is a fluid-mechanics problem — a short course applied to Doba crude.
16 July 2026 · ≈ 7 min →Technology · TchadiTechDrones, pigs, crawlers: inspecting without stopping, without risking anyone
In-line inspection, zero human entry into confined spaces, micro-leaks detected before failure: frugal robotics serving integrity.

9Economics · In plain words
What makes up the price of a litre at the pump?
Crude, refining, logistics, taxes: the four layers of the station price, explained simply — and what integration changes for the Chadian litre.
17 July 2026 · ≈ 6 min →Sustainability · GreenTechThe cylinder versus the axe: LPG against wood fuel
Deposit-based LPG and local swap points: every cylinder exchanged spares trees, gum trees and pastures — biodiversity through the business model.

Loyalty, fleet cards (caps, alerts, reporting), app and shop: the fill-up becomes a relationship — at the ARSAT price everywhere.

The shared rent: what oil must change for the territories
Local jobs, SME suppliers, health, education, energy at the ARSAT price: how EnerTchad designs an oil rent that irrigates the territories — 80% local content.
10 July 2026 · ≈ 6 min →Human capital · TchaditudeTrain before extracting: the academy that precedes the barrel
A campus planned in N’Djamena, certifying tracks on sites, a pooled talent pool, 80% local content targeted: an industry is not imported — it is trained.

With us, anyone — employee or subcontractor — can stop a risky operation, without justification or sanction. Why this stop-work right is the foundation of an HSE culture.
