GCC Services, a leader in integrated remote site services, has been selected by international engineering and construction giant McDermott\u00a0 to provide camp services for the Tilenga Project Upstream Facilities\u00a0 in the Lake Albert Basin of Uganda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
GCC\u2019s work, to take place over 6 years, begins in February and is to include camp management, catering and camp support services for an international and local workforce that is expected to peak at 3,500 workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Tilenga project, under the overall operation of Total Energies\u00a0, is the centerpiece of oil projects projected to bring investments of over $10 billion to Uganda and Tanzania. It will eventually have the capacity to process 190,000 to 700,000 barrels of oil a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe understand the importance of this project to Ugandans and their future. We\u2019ve been operating in Uganda since 2010, so we have a strong reputation there and an understanding of the market,\u201d said GCC Services CEO Rashad Sinokrot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur local presence, international footprint and record of performance on critical energy projects were defining elements of our winning proposal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sinokrot said GCC is planning \u201csignificant local engagement\u201d that will include training and upskilling of the local workforce, as well as support and development of local vendors and suppliers, including farmers in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
GCC has extensive experience as a provider and manager of services for large, complex projects in remote, hard-to-reach areas and conflict zones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Papua New Guinea, GCC managed camp facilities at multiple locations, serving more than 22,000 workers on the country\u2019s massive LNG project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a supply chain and procurement specialist, GCC also has served as the food-supply contractor for peacekeeping forces in Africa and elsewhere.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Total Energies, the overall leader of Uganda\u2019s Tilenga project, has pledged to act transparently in its development of the oil and gas resources of the Lake Albert region. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The company has made commitments to use the highest international standards in land acquisition, consult with local communities, protect sensitive natural areas, and generate a \u201cpositive net impact on biodiversity\u201d in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During construction, the Tilenga project and related EACOP pipeline build are expected to generate 58,000 direct and indirect jobs, 2.1 million hours of training to build local skills, and $1.7 billion worth of work for local companies, Total Energies says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
