Built-in capability · Inside the core poles
Technology · AI, OT/IT & R&D
An oil field born digital. AI, OT/IT, sovereign L1-L4 architecture and frugal R&D: data steers every barrel, from the valve to the decision-maker.
The conviction · Technology
A digitally native operator does not have to modernise: it starts modern.
From sensor to decision-maker, a sovereign OT/IT foundation (L1-L4), digital twins and frugal R&D conceived in Chad — data becomes one more barrel.
The digital foundation — and the R&D laboratory
TchadiTech is not just infrastructure: it is EnerTchad’s laboratory. Its frugal R&D, conceived in Chad, feeds the seven other poles — enhanced oil recovery with local inputs, modular mini-refinery, field robotics and sovereign engineering. Every innovation is designed for the Chadian context: lean, replicable, operated in-house.

Use cases · Technology
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
Deciding blind
Operations lack real-time visibility in the field.
EnerTchad response
Sovereign L1-L4 architecture, digital twins of the reservoir, SCADA.
Target
Deciding on data, not blind
- Case 02
Challenge
Unplanned shutdowns
Breakdowns and unplanned shutdowns weigh on production and costs.
EnerTchad response
Predictive AI + field robotics: drones, pigs, crawlers.
Target
Predictive maintenance · fewer shutdowns
- Case 03
Challenge
Exposed industrial systems
PLCs and OT networks are vulnerable to threats.
EnerTchad response
OT/IT cybersecurity by design, strict L1-L4 segmentation.
Target
Continuity and integrity of operations
- Case 04
Challenge
Scarce digital skills
Data and OT talent is scarce locally to operate the tools.
EnerTchad response
In-house upskilling and digital twins accessible to the teams.
Target
Chadian teams self-reliant on data
- Case 05
Challenge
Slow and risky inspection
Inspecting tanks, pipelines and flare stacks exposes teams to danger.
EnerTchad response
Drones, instrumented pigs and crawlers — inspection without exposing people.
Target
Integrity verified · safety strengthened
Flagship platforms · TchadiTech
Named tools, designed for the Chadian field.
Three platforms structure the technology roadmap — each answers a concrete problem in Chad’s oil sector.
- TargetEnerVision™Digital twin & supervisionThe field on a single screen: SCADA, sovereign L1-L4 architecture and real-time data — from the valve to the decision-maker.
- TargetEnerField™Field suite & roboticsDrones, instrumented pigs and predictive maintenance — inspection without exposing teams, data captured at the well.
- ConceptMini-refinery 2.0Modular processRefining in containerised modules, deployed close to the resource and extendable block by block.
EnerVision™ and EnerField™ are trademarks in preparation by EnerTchad S.A., a company in formation — platforms at target stage, presented at the pace of each stage.
The data flow
From sensor to decision-maker, in four levels.
- L1 · Sensors & valvesMeasurement is born in the field, at the well and on the pipeline.
- L2 · PLCs & SCADAControl and command, segmented and cyber-secured.
- L3 · Data & AIHistorisation, digital twins, prediction.
- L4 · DecisionDashboards — deciding on data, not blind.
Three stories from the pole

What this pole does
The five in-depth pages of this pole — digital backbone, R&D, innovations, tools and stories.
TchadiTech · Backbone
Digital backbone & architecture
EnerTchad’s sovereign digital architecture: from sensor (L1) to decision-maker (L4), OT/IT cybersecurity, digital twins and the digital oilfield.
- From sensor to decision-maker, one sovereign stack.Four layers connect the field to the decision. Walk through TchadiTech’s target architecture, from the field sensor (L1) to the executive dashboard (L4).
- An operator born in 2026, with no technical debt.EnerTchad drags no legacy system behind it: its technology backbone is carried by TchadiTech, our advanced-technology pole, which brings together OT (operational technologies and industrial automation), IT (information systems and cybersecurity) and AI (data,
- From sensor to decision-maker — our technology building blocks.TchadiTech runs a sovereign digital layer through the whole chain, from the field sensor to the executive dashboard. Each sheet details the building block, its role and its benefit. (ambition · company in formation)
TchadiTech · R&D
R&D & frugal engineering
Frugal R&D, designed in Chad: designing lean, replicable equipment for every pole — innovation adapted to the field.
- We design tomorrow’s solutions.R&D entirely focused on Chad — by Chadians, for the Chadian field. That focus is our strength: closer to realities, it makes us more effective and turns our problems and challenges — fuel shortages, costs, isolated sites, heavy acidic crude — into durable, eco
- Containerised mobile stationTchadiTech R&D designed the Mobile Station™ units deployable in 24-48 h (5,000 to 15,000 L, LPG, SCADA supervision) — detailed in the Distribution network section. Modular, frugal, redeployable design.
- EOR chemistry with local sourcingDevelopment of enhanced-recovery formulations (ASP, polymers) from local resources — natron, surfactants — to cut costs and import dependence on heavy crudes.
- Autonomous site-power modulesDesign of autonomous site-power modules with battery backup for isolated sites, stations and facilities — cutting self-consumed diesel and emissions, tied to the valorisation of the associated gas flared today.
TchadiTech · Innovations
Flagship innovations
An oil company born digital: AI-driven modular mini-refinery, field robotics (drones, pigs, crawlers) and sovereign engineering.
- An oil company born differently.Where the classic oil industry ties up capital and waits decades, EnerTchad invents a Chadian way: digital, mobile, frugal and local. Our model is not imported: it is drawn by Chadian realities — immense distances, landlocked areas, regulated prices, marginal
- Mobile Station™The station that comes to the customer: containerised, deployed in 24-48 h where the fixed network does not exist or breaks down.
- Digital-native operatorSCADA, digital twins and predictive AI across the whole chain — with no inherited technical debt.
- Asset-light modelBrownfield recompletion & OFS 4.0: capture the value of the additional barrel without tying up heavy capital.
TchadiTech · Stories
In depth — our stories
Three stories to understand how we work: Chadian frugal engineering applied to the oil sector.
- Three stories that explain the way we think.For years, two densities circulated for Chadian crude. The answer came down to one word: Ronier. The story of a data reconciliation — and why Doba’s acidity (TAN 4.7) dictates the metallurgy of our mini-refineries.
- Landlockedness as the design briefDesign for Chad first: every technology building block would aim to work far from the coasts, with intermittent connectivity and local maintenance.
- Decide with what you measureScarce data does not forbid rigour: the ambition is to make uncertainty explicit rather than hide it behind borrowed certainties.
- A skill that staysNo technology would count if it were not passed on: the goal is that every story ends in know-how anchored in Chadians.
