Caracal to start production from Chad fields

Caracal Energy, the former Griffiths Energy, is preparing to start production from the Badila field and expects the Mangara field to come on stream by year-end. The Canadian company said the first phase of the modular Badila production facilities was completed at the end of May. President Idriss Déby Itno inaugurated the facility on 9 June by opening the production shipping valve. The system has been loaded with oil and is ready to start production once a transportation agreement has been finalised, which the company expects during July.
