Capital · Chad’s oil rent

Chadian capital’s first door into its own oil rent.

An integrated operator with Chadian capital and talent, positioned across the whole chain — in a country with proven resources and a still under-used export network. An OHADA-law model, capital raised in stages, dated milestones and auditable governance from formation: each floor funds the next, and local refining substitutes fuel imports that weigh on foreign-exchange reserves. Investing in EnerTchad means taking part in national oil value — where it is created. Company in formation — the elements presented are ambitions and dated targets.

The thesis

The market, and six reasons.

01 · The investment thesis

Six reasons, a single conviction.

Capturing the value of an established but under-exploited sector, and keeping it in Chad — from a deliberate single-country scope.

  1. 01 · MARKET
    An established, under-exploited sector

    Proven resources, export already built — the value is there, to capture.

  2. 02 · INTEGRATION
    From source rock to the pump

    Defensible margins across the whole chain, sheltered from intermediaries.

  3. 03 · ASSET-LIGHT
    Each stage funds the next

    Enter light through services, deepen integration without one single capital bet.

  4. 04 · 100% CHADIAN
    National capital & talent

    The value stays in the country — aligned with the State and the funders.

  5. 05 · FRAMEWORK
    OHADA · IFRS · EITI targeted

    SA/Board governance, audited accounts, transparency — the trust of DFIs.

  6. 06 · FOCUS
    One country, all the engineering

    A single-country scope concentrates resources on one context: fitted solutions, technologies chosen for Chad.

02 · Market & opportunity

The value deposit.

Sector benchmarks — not held by EnerTchad — describing the national market in which the company is deploying. Natural resources to turn into a lever of growth and development — valorised on the spot rather than exported raw.

The model

How value is created, and why now.

03 · Economic model

“Each floor funds the next”.

EnerTchad does not launch its poles all at once: three horizons chain together, each funding the next. (target sequencing · company in formation)

Read the strategic editorial

H10–18 months
The cash engine

Oilfield services and downstream / distribution — Mobile Stations™, B2B contracts, lubricants.

Objective · generate the first cash
Targeted proof · first station + B2B contracts
H22–4 years
The barrel that stays

Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and taking over marginal blocks of the registry.

Objective · reinvest the cash in production
Targeted proof · local EOR pilot validated
H34 years+
The transformed molecule

Petrochemicals: nitrogen fertilisers, methanol, sulphur, LPG.

Objective · convert the rent into a value chain
Targeted proof · first chemical unit
The entry economics · Early production

The first barrel pays for the development — not the other way round.

6–12 monthsto first barrel, versus 3 to 5 years in conventional development
÷ 5 to 10initial capital — mobile equipment rented or amortised over several wells
On spec from day 1a three-phase separator at the head — crude BS&W < 0.5%, water and gas diverted
1 well = 1 profit centrereversible: the fleet redeploys if the well disappoints

Three-phase separation, mobile “frac tank” containers on containment, truck evacuation to the mini-refinery: the well sells while it is being appraised — and every test barrel is counted, not burnt. Read the analysis → · See the capture fleet →

One barrel, five margins

The same barrel works five times — provided you own the chain.

MARGIN 1
Extractionthe barrel that stays — well takeovers, EOR, early production
MARGIN 2
Logisticsthe margin of the kilometre — qualified trucks, relay hub-depots
MARGIN 3
Refiningthe crude → products spread — a 500–2,000 b/d modular mini-refinery
MARGIN 4
Distributionthe margin at the pump — Mobile Stations™, deposit-based LPG, B2B contracts
MARGIN 5
Petrochemicalsthe molecule at the top — nitrogen fertilisers, methanol, sulphur

Today, most of these margins leave the country or scatter among intermediaries. The EnerTchad model consolidates them on a single balance sheet: each owned link adds its margin to the same barrel — and Chadian crude stops being sold only once.

The capital loop

The cash never sleeps: it climbs one floor with every turn.

1Cash earlyoilfield services + downstream/distribution — the trades that pay in months, not years
2Reinvested in barrelstaking over marginal wells and EOR pilots — early production sells from start-up
3Barrels transformedmini-refinery then petrochemicals — the molecule spread adds to the barrel’s margin
4Cash reinforced ↺consolidated margins reinvested in the next turn — more wells, more floors, the same discipline

That is the meaning of “each floor funds the next”: no single mega-raise, but a modest capital that turns — with early production as the loop’s starter.

Where the money is made

One clear margin unit per trade — and its horizon.

Mobile Stations™ & LPGthe margin of the litre and the kilo — recurring through deposits and loyaltyH1
Trading & logisticsthe margin of the opened-up kilometre, from field to hub-depotH1–H2

◆ Economic framework

How EnerTchad creates and retains value.

A simple logic: generate cash early, commit it with discipline, and keep the value in Chad — so that an initially modest capital funds, floor by floor, a complete oil chain. Targets · company in formation.

Diversified revenuesFour cash sources along the chain — not a bet on a single barrel.
  • Oilfield services (OFS) — first cash
  • Distribution & downstream — recurring margin
  • EOR production — the additional barrel
  • Petrochemicals — the transformed molecule
Cost disciplineModular, frugal, staged: committed capital follows the proof, never the reverse.
  • Modular & removable units
  • Capex in stages, no mega-project
  • Local content — costs controlled
  • Frugal Chadian engineering
Value retained in the countryThe rent stops leaking: capital, jobs, taxes and transformation stay in Chad.
  • Capital open to Chadians
  • Talent trained & employed locally
  • Import substitution (fuels, fertilisers)
  • Taxes & royalties in the country
Capital that funds itselfThree horizons chain together — each floor releases the next one’s cash.
  • H1 — the cash engine
  • H2 — the barrel that stays
  • H3 — the transformed molecule
  • De-risking through dated stages
The margin drivers

Four mechanisms make this model robust, cycle after cycle — the margin depends neither on one client, nor one floor of the chain, nor the price of the barrel.

Recurring revenuesThe customer comes back, the contract lasts: the margin does not depend on a one-shot.
  • EnerClub™ & NRJ+™ — B2C/B2B loyalty
  • Tchadium LPG deposit & refill
  • Framework contracts: fleets, industry, institutions
  • EnerPro™ subscriptions & digital services
The integration marginOne barrel, five margins — captured today by intermediaries, consolidated tomorrow at EnerTchad.
  • Extraction → transport → refining → distribution
  • Petrochemicals: the molecule at the top of the chain
  • Fewer intermediaries, more consolidated margin
  • ARSAT price: competitive without sacrificing margin
Resilient to cyclesIntegration cushions the crude price: when upstream suffers, downstream breathes — and vice versa.
  • Low crude: downstream & network margins sustained
  • High crude: the EOR barrel outperforms
  • Services (OFS, advisory) indexed to activity, not price
  • Short cash cycle: services and pump paid in cash
Nothing is lostThe circular economy turns costs into revenues — and the intangible weighs little in capital.
  • Water-to-Value™: produced water valorised
  • Sulphur, associated gas, waste → revenue lines
  • TchadiTech, EnerConseils, Tchaditude: asset-light revenues
  • Tools & data reused from pole to pole

Amounts and dates: targeted objectives · an OHADA-law company in formation — not achieved results.

Why now · the window

Four reasons to enter today.

The national momentum

The presidential call and $20.5bn mobilised in Abu Dhabi (Nov. 2025): the country is opening up — now is when positions are taken.

The registry is open

38 free blocks today. Every award closes the window a little.

Evacuation is already paid for

60% headroom on the pipeline: the additional barrel flows without infrastructure capex.

Before the big players return

Marginal assets are taken at entry prices — while the majors look elsewhere.

The trajectory

The raises, the allocation, the dated milestones.

Trajectory · Capital

From founding capital to the 10-billion mark.

Five stages, dated above — drawn in one line. A target trajectory, not a numeric promise: every milestone points back to the calendar.

Our assumptions

What the figures on this page rest on

A projection without published assumptions cannot be verified. These are the parameters used to build the trajectory, the value of the additional barrel and the 2030 targets. They are deliberately conservative, dated, and will be revised publicly if reality diverges — an explained gap beats a dressed-up target.

Market$60–70/bbl

Reference crude price

The planning range used for Brent, discounted for the quality of Doba crude. No projection is built on a high-case scenario — 2026 illustrates the choice: consensus near $58 in February, Brent around $85 by summer, 2027 seen at ~$69 (EIA). The range stays below the middle of the cycle.

FXEUR 1 = XAF 655.957

Fixed euro–CFA franc peg

The monetary peg of the CEMAC zone; currency risk therefore sits on the dollar–euro pair, not on the franc.

FieldsMature fields

Target perimeter

Redevelopment of already-discovered, high-water-cut fields rather than greenfield exploration: lower entry capital and reduced geological risk.

Refining & DistributionARSAT price

Regulated retail price

Refining & Distribution volumes are valued at the national regulated price, with no free-margin assumption: regulation is an input, not a variable.

TimelineDated milestones

Regulatory sequence

Each milestone assumes permits are obtained within the announced timeframe; any delay pushes the financing cascade back by the same amount.

CapitalSuccessive rounds

Staged financing

No round is guaranteed. Each tier funds the next: the failure of one tier does not erase the previous ones, it stops the climb.

These assumptions are those of a company in formation: they describe a calculation method, not an expected outcome. The uncertainties that could invalidate them are set out in the risk factors, to be read before any decision.
