FMC Technologies, Inc. will provide subsea multiphase boosting pumps, manifolds, and installation support services for Eni Angola's Block 15/06 West Hub Development Project located off the coast of Angola.
The company's subsea multiphase boosting pumps improve production economics by reducing backpressure on the reservoir, increasing flow rates and total recoverable reserves. Multiphase pumps have a wide operating envelope and are suitable for a broad range of conditions.
'This is our second award for our new subsea multiphase boosting system and we are confident that this technology will be a critical and important part in supporting increased deepwater field recovery,' said Tore Halvorsen, Senior Vice President of Subsea Technologies at FMC Technologies.
Eni is the operator of Block 15/06 with a 36.84 percent stake and Sonangol EP is the Concessionaire. The other Partners of the joint venture are Sonangol Pesquisa e Produ??o (36.84 percent) and SSI Fifteen Limited (26.32 percent).
Sindipetro-NF石油工人联盟表示,此次事故与去年发生在巴西的FPSO爆炸事故非常相似,应引起足够的重视。去年2月11日发生的Cidade de Sao Mateus FPSO爆炸事故共造成了9人死亡和26人受伤。

Um vazamento na plataforma P-31 da Petrobras (PETR3;PETR4), que opera na Bacia de Campos, provoca a paralisação da produção na unidade desde o início da manhã da terça-feira, 19. O sindicato local e a estatal divergem sobre as causas do episódio. A operação da plataforma segue suspensa até que o problema seja solucionado.
A Petrobras afirma, em nota, que houve um vazamento de água oleosa na casa de bombas da P-31, sem atingir o mar. "O sistema de detecção automático do local foi acionado e o vazamento, controlado. A produção da unidade marítima foi interrompida, conforme previsto em situações desta natureza", diz a companhia. Ainda segundo a estatal, não houve feridos nem danos materiais.
Na versão do Sindipetro-NF, que representa os petroleiros do Norte Fluminense, os alarmes foram acionados porque uma linha de gás que passa por dentro da casa de bombas está furada. Embora funcionários tenham drenado o trecho, houve vazamento de gás. Os petroleiros ainda reclamam que os sensores de gás da P-31 estão ultrapassados, trazendo risco à segurança operacional.
Segundo o sindicato, o alarme de presença de gás já havia sido acionado na P-31 em 11 de janeiro, mas a Petrobras teria dado a mesma justificativa: de vazamento de água oleosa.
"O caso é considerado alarmante, já que o fato é similar ao ocorrido no ano passado no navio-plataforma FPSO Cidade de São Mateus", diz o Sindipetro-NF em nota. No acidente, ocorrido em 11 de fevereiro de 2015, uma explosão na casa de bombas matou nove pessoas e deixou outras 26 feridas.
WASHINGTON, May 13 (Reuters) - Republican presidential contender Donald Trump has turned to one of America's most ardent drilling advocates and climate change skeptics to help him draft his energy policy.
The New York billionaire has asked U.S. Republican Congressman Kevin Cramer of North Dakota - a major oil drilling state - to write a white paper on energy policy, Cramer and sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.
Cramer and some other Trump energy advisers also recently met with lawmakers from western energy states, who hope Trump will open more federal land for drilling.
Cramer said his paper would emphasize the dangers of foreign ownership of U.S. energy assets, burdensome taxes, and over-regulation.
A spokeswoman for Trump's campaign did not comment.
HOUSTON -- OneSubsea, a Schlumberger company, has been awarded an engineering, procurement and construction contract totaling more than $170 million from Belayim Petroleum Company (Petrobel). OneSubsea will supply the subsea production systems for the first stage of Zohr field, located in the Shorouk Concession, offshore Egypt.
“Zohr is one of the largest gas fields discovered in the Mediterranean Sea to date, and is also the world’s second longest step-out, a distance greater than 150 km. This step-out will be enabled by OneSubsea controls systems with fiber-optic communications technology,” said Mike Garding, president, OneSubsea. “Our supplier-led approach to the field development, coupled with our FasTrac program capability, and our integrated offering that includes flow assurance, subsea productionsystem and landing string capabilities, will help Petrobel meet their first gas commitment.”
The award follows an accelerated FEED study by OneSubsea in which a multidisciplinary team collaborated with Eni and Petrobel to develop the subsea equipment architecture and control system to validate handling of high gas volumes, considering reservoir characteristics and subsea equipment specifications.
The scope of contract includes six horizontal SpoolTree subsea trees, intervention and workover control systems, landing string, tie-in, high-integrity pressure protection system, topside and subsea controls and distribution, water detection and salinity monitoring provided by the AquaWatcher water analysis sensor, and installation and commissioning services. The FasTrac program comprises a strategic inventory capability with the flexibility to configure the system to the customer needs and deliver on a fast turnaround.
油气生产商Rice Energy Inc将以包括债务在内的约27亿美元的价格收购Vantage Energy LLC和Vantage Energy II LLC。尽管自2014年中以来,强劲的页岩油生产商在油价暴跌以后页岩油区块面积已经增加了50%以上,但是很少出现收购整个公司的。Rice Energy近期称,其将收购的资产包括8.5万净英亩Marcellus核心区块,较深Utica页岩的面积有5.2万净英亩以及3.7净英亩Barnett页岩区块。(路透社,Rigzone,9月26日消息)
