The conviction · Exploration & Production
The majors hunt the elephant. We recover the barrels they leave behind.
On fields already discovered and a subsurface already known, enhanced oil recovery turns the forgotten into a reservoir of value — producing more while investing less.
Recovering the barrels the majors leave behind
EnerTchad’s Exploration & Production is not looking for new elephants: it reopens the mature fields and marginal blocks the majors consider too small. Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) with local inputs and integrated oilfield services (OFS) — producing more while spending less, on assets already known in the Chadian subsurface.
The Exploration & Production chain
From reservoir to pipeline-ready crude, in the order of the trade.
Four steps, four pages: the sequence a barrel follows before it enters the pipe.
- ExplorationGeoscience, seismic, licensing: find and qualify the reservoir.
- Drilling & completionMulti-target wellpads, casing, cementing, completion, interventions.
- ProductionOperations, artificial lift, EOR: produce, and keep producing.
- Primary treatmentSeparate, dehydrate, desalt, stabilise — crude ready for the pipe.

Our offerings & expertise
Technical and operational expertise, from the well to the barrel
Everything in plain sight — field services, the resources behind them and what you gain.
Services
- DrillingDrilling engineering and supervision: AI-guided directional drilling, muds adapted to reactive clays, trajectories optimised to maximise reservoir contact.
- ProductionContinuous well operation and surveillance: downhole and surface measurements, nodal analysis, optimisation of flow rates and reservoir pressure.
- Well activationESP / PCP pumping, gas-lift and artificial lift resizing — bringing dead or constrained wells back into flow.
- EOR / stimulationEnhanced oil recovery with 100% local inputs (natron-based ASP, polymers) and matrix stimulation; +8–17% of OOIP targeted on mature fields.
- Diagnostics & optimisationLogging, well testing, reservoir modelling and digital twin: diagnose before committing a single piece of heavy equipment.
- Geosciences & seismicRe-interpretation of public data, targeted acquisition, geological models: subsurface uncertainty cut down before the spend.
- Completion & testingCompletion design, sand control, production testing: the controlled junction between drilling and first production.
- Integrity & produced waterCorrosion surveillance, treatment and reinjection of produced water, discharge compliance across the whole life of the field.

Exploration & Production · At the service of operators
Bringing Chad’s forgotten barrels into production.
Exploration & Production serves those who hold and operate the resource — with a single point of contact from seismic to EOR.
Who it is for
E&P operators & the State
Block holders and authorities, facing mature fields and neglected marginal blocks.
Our answer
An integrated OFS
From seismic to enhanced oil recovery, a single point of contact, consortium structuring on open blocks.
The targeted gain
The additional barrel
Extended production and a barrel captured with less capital.
Our approach
Frugal, integrated, sovereign: the Exploration & Production method
Five principles guide every decision of the pole — from the first gigabyte of seismic to the last barrel recovered. A method designed for a landlocked country, mature reservoirs and capital that is counted.
01
De-risking through data
Before any heavy commitment: re-interpretation of public data, targeted seismic where uncertainty runs high, reservoir model. The decision to invest is taken on measured facts, never on a geological bet.
02
Targeting the low-capital barrel
Mature fields, marginal blocks, wells to re-enter: priority goes to the barrels reachable fast and at lower CAPEX, at the pace of capital raises — no megaproject, self-financed stages.
03
Integrating under a single contract
From earthworks to the pump, eight OFS services and ten well intervention lines under a single point of contact: fewer interfaces, faster mobilisation, a barrel cost controlled end to end.
04
Producing with the country
Local inputs — natron, lime, gum arabic, neem —, Chadian teams trained through Tchaditude, national subcontracting: every barrel produced strengthens the economy around it.
05
Measure, learn, redeploy
Every pilot is instrumented: recovery factor, OPEX per barrel, HSE indicators. What works is replicated from well to well; what disappoints is stopped early, before it drains capital.
Use cases · Exploration & Production
From the real problem to the EnerTchad response
Five concrete situations from Chad’s oil sector, and how EnerTchad intends to answer them — as targets, at the pace of the stages.
- Case 01
Challenge
Mature field in decline
A reservoir in the Doba/Bongor basins is losing pressure and flow rate.
EnerTchad response
Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) with local inputs — natron-based ASP, digital reservoir monitoring.
Target
+8 to 17% recovery factor targeted
- Case 02
Challenge
Neglected marginal block
A block judged too small by the majors sits undeveloped.
EnerTchad response
Frugal take-over + integrated oilfield services (OFS) force under a single contract.
Target
Fast production on low initial capital
- Case 03
Challenge
Geological uncertainty
The subsurface is poorly characterised: investing means betting.
EnerTchad response
Targeted seismic, re-interpretation of public data and de-risking models.
Target
Deciding before committing capital
- Case 04
Challenge
Scattered production data
Well histories are dispersed — paper, silos, mismatched formats.
EnerTchad response
Digitisation and a unified reservoir model, real-time production dashboard.
Target
Running the field on reliable data
- Case 05
Challenge
Poorly anticipated well abandonment
Closing an end-of-life well is a cost that is often overlooked.
EnerTchad response
Abandonment plans from the design stage and reuse of existing infrastructure.
Target
Life cycle under control · abandonment cost provisioned
