GCC Services has announced that it has been selected by engineering and construction company McDermott to provide camp services for the Tilenga Project Upstream Facilities in the Lake Albert Basin of Uganda.
The work is due take place over six years, beginning from February 2022 and is to include camp management, catering and camp support services for an international and local workforce of around 3,500 workers.
The Tilenga project, under the overall operation of Total Energies, is the centerpiece of several oil projects expected to bring investments of over $10bn to Uganda and Tanzania. It is hoped that it will eventually have the capacity to process 190,000 to 700,000 barrels of oil a day and create about 58,000 direct and indirect jobs.
“We’ve been operating in Uganda since 2010, so we have a strong understanding of the market,” said GCC Services CEO Rashad Sinokrot. “Our local presence, international footprint and record of performance on critical energy projects were defining elements of our winning proposal.” GCC Services also has experience as a provider and manager of services for large, complex projects in remote, hard-to-reach areas and conflict zones. It has also served as the food-supply contractor for peacekeeping forces in Africa and elsewhere.
