Transport & Storage

Value only counts if it moves. Export corridor, distributed strategic reserve, asset integrity — the link that connects the well to the country.

The conviction · Transport & Storage

Between the well and the pump, it is a whole country that gets secured.

Mobilising the export corridor, building a distributed reserve, guaranteeing the integrity of every kilometre: the quietest link is the most strategic one for Chad’s energy sovereignty.

Mobilise the corridor, build the reserve

Between the well and the pump, Transport & Storage keeps the molecule moving and secures the country: mobilising the Doba–Kribi export corridor, building a distributed reserve of depots, and guaranteeing the integrity of the pipeline and of remote sites. Logistics as the backbone of energy sovereignty.

Our offers & expertise

The logistics link, end to end

Everything in plain sight — logistics services, the resources behind them and what you gain.

Services

  • Transport & pipelinePipeline operations, lifting management, integrity & in-line inspection, 24/7 SCADA supervision of pumping stations.
  • Storage & terminalsRegional depots and terminals: receipt, metrological metering, management of inbound and outbound flows, site safety and security.
  • Road logisticsFleet of tanker trucks to HSE standards, convoy planning, on-board telematics and strict road safety rules.
  • Facility integrityRegulatory inspection, corrosion monitoring, preventive maintenance of tanks, pumps and lines — zero spills targeted.
  • Strategic reserveBuilding and rotating safety stocks: 30 days of reserve targeted, sized against the seasons and the risks of the corridor.
  • Transit & customsDocument management on the Douala–N’Djamena corridor: transit, customs clearance, CEMAC compliance — the truck does not sleep at the border.
  • Digital supervisionSCADA telemetry on remote sites, fleet GPS tracking, flow dashboards operated with the TchadiTech pole.

Resources & guarantees

  • Doba–Kribi corridorBetter use of the pipeline (1,070 km · sector).
  • Depot networkDistributed reserve, 3 depot hubs targeted.
  • Fleet & supervisionHSE-compliant trucks, SCADA telemetry on remote sites.
  • Corridor masteryDetailed knowledge of the 1,700 km Douala–N’Djamena route and of the Doba–Kribi alignment: border posts, seasons, hard points.

What you gain

  • Supply continuitySecuring the country against disruptions.
  • Strategic reserve30 days of reserve targeted.
  • Integrity & safetyZero spills targeted, road safety.
  • Logistics cost under controlOptimised rounds and stock in the right place: every franc saved on transport shows up at the pump.
  • Local contentChadian drivers, operators and subcontractors: the value of the logistics link stays in the country.

Transport & Storage · The link that secures

Securing the flow, from well to depot.

Transport & Storage connects Exploration & Production to Refining & Distribution: it is the logistics link on which the whole supply chain depends.

Who it is for

Refiners, distributors & the State

Everyone who depends on reliable transport and storage of crude and products.

Our answer

Transport, storage, supervision

Pipeline and HSE trucks, depots and distributed reserve, end-to-end supervision of the flow.

The targeted gain

Secured supply

Logistics under control and national supply security.

Our approach

Fluid, redundant, monitored: the Transport & Storage method

Five principles guide every decision of the pole — from choosing a depot site to turning a convoy around. A method designed for 1,700 km of corridor, contrasting seasons and a country that must never run short.

01

Use what exists before building

The Doba–Kribi pipeline (1,070 km) and the Douala–N’Djamena road corridor exist: operate them better — liftings, slots, empty returns — before tying up capital in new infrastructure.

02

Distribute the reserve

Rather than a single stock, a mesh of regional depot hubs: the reserve sits where people live, local shortages are absorbed locally, the 30-day objective is built step by step.

03

Double up every critical link

Two routes, two modes, two sources wherever possible: pipeline and truck, imports and targeted local production. Redundancy is a cost — shortage is a bigger one.

04

Monitor continuously

SCADA telemetry on sites, fleet GPS, metrological metering at the nodes: every litre is located, every discrepancy caught early — integrity is monitored, not noted after the event.

05

Operate with the country

Chadian drivers, depot operators and inspectors trained through Tchaditude, local subcontracting on sites: the logistics link employs where it runs.

Use cases · Transport & Storage

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.

  1. Case 01

    Challenge

    Underused export corridor

    The Doba–Kribi pipeline (1,070 km) is not used to full capacity.

    EnerTchad response

    Integrated logistics + crude haulage by HSE truck alongside the pipe.

    Target

    Better use of the export corridor

  2. Case 02

    Challenge

    Supply disruptions

    The country takes the jolts of the import chain.

    EnerTchad response

    Reserve distributed across a network of depots (3 hub-depots at launch, 5 regional depots over time).

    Target

    30 days of reserve targeted

  3. Case 03

    Challenge

    Unsupervised remote sites

    Distant depots and facilities, with no real-time visibility.

    EnerTchad response

    SCADA supervision, telemetry and integrity (pigs, in-line inspection).

    Target

    24/7 availability targeted

  4. Case 04

    Challenge

    Losses and stock discrepancies

    Volume tracking at the depot lacks precision — losses, discrepancies, fraud.

    EnerTchad response

    Automated gauging, mass balance and end-to-end traceability.

    Target

    Volume discrepancies reduced · losses under control

  5. Case 05

    Challenge

    Rainy season, roads cut off

    Seasonal isolation halts deliveries to entire regions.

    EnerTchad response

    Network of buffer depots and forward logistics planning.

    Target

    Supply maintained all year round
