Chad's prime minister sought aid and expertise from United Arab Emirates investors in 2000 to develop its petroleum sector.

Its oil-related projects included building a $3.5 billion pipeline from southwestern Chad to the Cameroon coast and developing another oil field near Lake Chad to serve domestic requirements. The pipeline was expected to be complete by 2004.

The country also wanted to build a 5,000 b/d refinery near Sedigi, the oil field near Lake Chad, and a power plant in the same area.

An ExxonMobil group started infrastructure construction in late 2000 on the 633-mile, 30-in. heated pipeline to ship paraffinic crude from Kome, Miandoum, and Bolobo fields in Chad's Doba basin to Kribi, Cameroon. Pipelaying was to start in 2001.

Projected production was 225,000 b/d. Establishing this rate would involve the drilling in Chad by the ExxonMobil group of 300 producing wells, starting in late 2001, to reservoirs at 5,200 ft. Production start-up was set as early as 2003.

The Chad affiliates of ExxonMobil, Chevron, Malaysia's state Petronas, and China National Petroleum Corp. held the concessions. Exxon, Shell, and Elf Aquitaine made the original discoveries.

These and other discoveries in Niger, Chad, and Sudan led RSM Production Corp., an affiliate of Grynberg Petroleum Co. of Denver, to apply for and receive exploration rights in Central African Republic just south of the ExxonMobil fields along the border in Chad. The block covers 13.7 million acres.

Domestic demand in Central African Republic was 3,000 b/d, RSM said.
