Description of Services/Goods, attached with all the Information covering detailed description of
services/goods, standards, specifications, quantities etc. (refer to Attachment if necessary)

1. Introduction/Background:

CNOOC Uganda Limited (CUL) is required to transmit drilling data from the well sites to Kampala
office as well as Beijing office. There is also required to share real time drilling data with the real
time data processing center of the petroleum authority. CUL also need to access system located
in Beijing such as SAP, TMS.

Currently, the Company is implementing a leased line connectivity from Kingfisher camp to
Kampala office as well as an international leased line from Kampala office to headquarter office in
Beijing China. There is no physical fiber connection between Kingfisher and Kampala due to the
high cliff and bad weather can bring unstable to this link.

Considering the requirements of real time, reliability, safety in the transmission service and the
reliability of ground communication network, to guarantee the transmission of data from Kingfisher
to Kampala office and from Kampala office to Beijing, satellite service as backup is required

2. Project Objective

The major objective of this project includes the following:

(1) Establishing VSAT link between Kingfisher and Kampala, VSAT link between Kampala and
CNOOC headquarter. C-Band will be adopted to reach best availability.
(2) Establishing SDWAN between Kingfisher and Kampala, between Kampala and Beijing as
backup for leased line and provide additional bandwidth to improve user experience.
(3) Establishing a visualized bandwidth management system to dynamically show and
manage the status of links (mainly real-time traffic) among leased line, SDWAN and VSAT.
