••• 10.12.05  Standby vessel market remains "extremely tight".
Broker Seascope Offshore says the ERRV/standby market in the North Sea remains "extremely tight" with all owners effectively reporting no availability until the end of the year at least, although availability may ease marginally in the first quarter of 2006 as up to four ‘older’ vessels could enter the market after conversion.
"The current availability of UK compliant vessels means that rate levels for short/medium term requirements are continuing to strengthen although there is very little tendering activity as the majority of deals are being concluded ‘off market’ or via call off agreements," Seascope explained in its newly published October-November report on the market.
For a recent ConocoPhillips tender to support a one well (circa 75 days) programme in the South North Sea with Ensco 92 from end December / early January there were only 1-2 bidders and consequently rates levels for UK compliant vessels are reportedly in the ?7,000-9,000 range.
Seascope noted that Nomis have purchased two vessels from Tidewater – namely Cole Tide and Needham Tide – which will be modified for work in the UK sector. They will be renamed Dea Siren and Dea Ocean respectively and as a consequence their standby fleet will increase to 18 units.

He was presenting the group’s perspectives on the far north at a seminar organised by the Norwegian Petroleum Society in Oslo today, 24 November. “We now face major opportunities in the Barents Sea for cooperation between nations, industries and companies,” he said.
“These open the way to continuing to build on more than 30 years of development with Norwegian oil expertise in cooperation with our Russian partners.”
He emphasised that the far north has large oil and gas resources which could influence security of energy supply in the USA and Europe for generations.
“A clear trend in today’s energy picture is growing import dependence in major markets such as the USA, Europe and parts of Asia.
“Both Washington and Brussels regard the Barents Sea area as important for supply diversification and for securing long-term energy supplies.”
Mr Lund noted that Norway and Russia have an interest, as petroleum exporters, in developing new markets for their resources.
Being neighbours in the far north is one of several forces driving the hunt for industrial collaboration solutions. This picture offers the industry good opportunities for further growth. But Mr Lund also highlighted the environmental challenges involved, and said that technology barriers need to be surmounted in the future.
“The easy projects have already been executed. We must make a big commitment to the technology and expertise needed for ever-deeper water, tougher climates and unconventional oil deposits.
“Energy-related carbon dioxide emissions are expected to be more than 50 per cent above present levels by 2030. We can help to overcome these challenges, which must not overshadow the opportunities.
“Statoil has initiated petroleum activities in the Barents Sea. We’re the first in Europe to produce liquefied natural gas, and Snшhvit will have the world’s northernmost gas liquefaction plant when deliveries begin in December 2007.”

••• 21.11.05  Gazprom-boss wants Japanese companies on Shtokman.
Gazprom-boss Alexei Miller has invited Japanese companies to take part in the massive Shtokman gas field development.
During a Russian-Japanese conference in Tokyo this morning, he said, "We see the possibility for Japanese companies to participate in projects supplying liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the Shtokman deposit since they have cutting-edge technology for supplying LNG."
This came as part of an announcement, where Mr. Miller said the company has invited Japanese companies to invest in oil and gas projects in West Siberia, RIA Novosti reports. It also came as a surprise to many, as the two Japanese companies on the original, nine-company long Shtokman bidding list, Mitsui og Sumimoto Corporation, were ruled out earlier this autumn, left outside the five company shortlist.
It also means that the high-stake political game over the Shtokman ressources continues, with Gazprom suggesting Asia as a market for the Barents field gas, putting pressure on the European and American companies on the shortlist,elling them that there are options if the deals offered are not sweet enough.

••• 12.11.05  Scottish survey technology ready for roll out.
Scottish university spin-out MTEM has completed a successful test of its new hydrocarbon survey technology in the North Sea and plans to roll it out worldwide.
Mutli-Transient Electro Magnetic – which originated at Edinburgh University - tried out its new system in the Firth of Forth near Edinburgh, deploying 2 km (1.25 miles) of cabling to emit a low power source, allowing data to be collected over a known hydrocarbon reservoir another 2km below the seabed, in water depths between 12 and 20m (39 – 65 ft).
Reservoir data was successfully recorded at an offset up to 8 km (5 miles) from the electro-magnetic power source. Electromagnetic surveys can be used to detect changes in subsurface resistivity, allowing more accurate identification of hydrocarbon-bearing reservoirs prior to exploration drilling. MTEM’s chief executive Leon Walker said the success of the test will allow the company to deploy a marine crew and start using the system in the North Sea by June 2006, and other basins where shallow water has until now prohibited the use of electro-magnetic survey techniques.
Bruce Dingwall, MTEM chairman added: “Having recently carried out successful testing on land, this breakthrough now enables us to commercialise its application in shallow waters up to 300m (1,000 ft) deep in major offshore oil and gas provinces throughout the world.”
MTEM previously received Ј7.4 million of support from venture capitalists including Stavanger-based Energy Ventures and Hitec Vision, plus Glasgow-based Scottish Equity partners. Support for the offshore test was provided by SeaBed Geophysical in Norway, and Westland GeoProjects in Cornwall in the UK.
The company has already tested its technology onshore with Houston-based Natural Gas Systems which commissioned MTEM for an electro-magnetic survey of its Delhi field, in Louisiana, first discovered in the 1940s and bought by NGS in 2003.

••• 06.11.05  PSS for tanker offloading unit installed offshore Sakhalin.
On 3 November Sakhalin Energy announced another milestone in the development of the Sakhalin II project by completing the installation of the Piled Substructure (PSS) for the Tanker Loading Unit (TLU) in Aniva Bay, offshore Sakhalin Island.
The TLU is an integral element of the Sakhalin II Phase 2 Oil Export Terminal (OET), which is currently under construction in Prigorodnoye on the southern end of Sakhalin Island. Once operational, this facility will enable year-round exportation of oil produced at Sakhalin Energy's offshore production platforms in the north of the Island. Sakhalin Energy has been operating Russia's first offshore oil production platform - the Molikpaq - since 1999. Oil is currently produced during the ice-free summer season when it can be transferred from the platform to shuttle tankers for onward transportation to customers.
During the Sakhalin II Phase 2 Project, the Molikpaq, along with two new offshore platforms that are currently under construction, will be connected to a pipeline network that will transfer hydrocarbons down the length of the Island to export facilities in Aniva Bay. Aniva Bay remains largely ice-free throughout the year, which will enable Sakhalin Energy to produce and export oil and gas from the Sakhalin Shelf throughout the year.
While the actual installation of the PSS on the seabed took nearly ten hours, the complete PSS installation process involved nearly two months of preparatory work - before the 1060 ton PSS was finally lowered into place in a water depth of approximately 30 metres. The PSS will ultimately support a Rotating Head to which export tankers will be connected to receive oil for export to customers around the world.
