Khalid Al-Falih出任沙特石油部长，他宣布坚持前任石油部长推行的一系列政策，仍保持现有的高原油生产水平，以巩固本国在原油市场的份额。

Al-Falih同时兼任沙特阿拉伯石油公司董事长，本周日，他在上任的第一天宣布坚持沙特原有的石油政策。自2014年起，前任石油部长Ali al-Naimi坚持销量优先的原则，使得大部分页岩气生产商，包括一些美国页岩气生产商失去了市场占有份额。因此，沙特不断增加石油产量，加剧供过于求的现状。种种迹象表明该策略的成功，今年1月，相比于12年以来的最低价，原油价格上涨了60%。

Emirates NBD PJSC和Qamar能源的分析师表示，如果今年夏天沙特加大石油产量以满足国内石油需求的季节性增长，该国石油产量将打破每天1050万桶的历史记录。沙特石油储量世界第二，今年4月份，石油日产量高达1027万桶。

上周日，Emirates NBD分析师在与迪拜银行通话中表示，新任石油部长继续推行原有政策，石油可能继续保持原有上升态势，同时沙特政策的推行可能会抵消加拿大森林大火对石油产量的影响。

上周六，沙特宣布，Al-Falih接替任职20年的al-Naimi，出任新一届国家能源工业自然资源部长。Falih一直以来被认为最有希望成为al-Naimi的接班人。和al-Naimi一样，他也有在沙特阿美工作的经历，2009年起担任该公司的负责人，直至去年他改任公司董事长。沙特是世界上第一大石油生产商以及OPEC实际的领导者，Al-Falih将负推行经济领域改革，以便为将来减少对石油收入的依赖做好准备。

Saudi Arabia will probably keep producing crude at near-record levels under its newly appointed oil minister, Khalid Al-Falih, as the world’s largest exporter sticks with his predecessor’s policy of defending market share against higher-cost shale.

Al-Falih, also chairman of the state producer Saudi Arabian Oil Co., said on his first day in office on Sunday that he will maintain the kingdom’s oil policy. His predecessor, Ali al-Naimi, had been leading a policy prioritizing sales over prices since 2014, driving some higher-cost producers, including U.S. shale drillers, off the market. In so doing, Saudi Arabia boosted output, adding to a supply glut. The strategy is showing signs of succeeding this year, with prices gaining more than 60 percent since tumbling to a 12-year low in January. 

Saudi Arabia could exceed its record output of more than 10.5 million daily barrels if it pumps more to meet a seasonal surge in domestic demand during the summer months, analysts from Emirates NBD PJSC and Qamar Energy said. The country, with the world’s second-largest oil reserves, pumped 10.27 million barrels a day in April.

“If the market considers the appointment as signaling more of the same for Saudi policy, that could allow prices to continue following their gradual trend upward,” Edward Bell, commodities analyst at Emirates NBD, said Sunday by phone from the Dubai-based bank. Continuity in Saudi policy may be offset by the immediate impact of Canadian forest fires forcing about 1 million barrels of daily crude production offline, he said.

Saudi Arabia appointed Al-Falih on Saturday to head the newly expanded Ministry of Energy, Industry and Mineral Resources. He replaces al-Naimi, a 20-year veteran in the post. Al-Falih takes over the ministry responsible for most of the nation’s income as the biggest producer and de facto leader of OPEC embarks on an economic overhaul designed to make it less reliant on petroleum.

Maersk Drilling已同意向陷入困境的美国钻井承包商Hercules Offshore购买一座新造的用于恶劣环境的自升式钻井平台Hercules Highlander。

Hercules与Maersk Oil签订了为期五年的合同。2014年5月在英国北海的Culzean高压高温开发项目中使用该钻机，工作于2014年中期开启。

去年，Hercules申请破产保护（美国破产法第11章），它于2015年11月重组成立，形成一个新的实体公司。但该公司仍然与一些贷款人达成了协议，并且仍在寻找替代品来确保其财政的稳定，包括一个可能的资本重组，或出售或与其他企业合并。卖掉Hercules Highlander平台也是有可能的。Hercules拥有27个自升式平台和19 个自升自航式船。

该钻机采用增强型Friede & Goldman JU-2000E设计，将马上由来自新加坡的Jurong Shipyard交付给Maersk Drilling。它具有400英尺深的吃水深度，30000英尺深的钻井能力，200万英镑的起吊静载荷，75英尺的悬臂范围，离线管道处理功能，15000 psui的防喷器，耐高温高压并能容纳150多人。

钻机的生产成本估计有2.7亿美元。作为协议的一部分，Maersk Drilling将与Jurong进行最终结算，金额大约为1.9亿美元。

交货后，钻机将开到北海开始其与Maersk Oil公司的合同。为期五年的合同价值约为4.2亿美元，其中包括 900万美元的动员费。该合同包括两个为期一年的贵重的选项。

今年四月，Ocean Rig购买了第六代超深水钻井船Cerrado，位于巴西的Schahin Group进入破产。

Ocean Rig花费6500万美元拍卖得到这个钻井船，它于2011年在在韩国的三星重工院子里建成。Seadrill公司的首席执行官Per Wullf说，尽管Ocean Rig支付的金额为Cerrado新建一座钻井船成本的十分之一，但它对一个一年多没有工作的钻机来说可能太多了。他告诉彭博社资产代表着“纯粹的责任。”

Maersk Drilling has agreed to acquire the newbuild harsh environment jackup rig Hercules Highlander from struggling US drilling contractor Hercules Offshore.

Hercules was awarded a five-year contract by Maersk Oil for use of the rig on the Culzean high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) development project in the UK North Sea in May 2014, with work due to start mid-2014.

Last year, Hercules filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, emerging from that in November 2015 with a reorganization and forming a new entity, but the firm is still in a forebearance agreement with certain lenders and is still looking for alternatives so secure its financial stability, including a potential recapitalization, and or selling or merging with another business. Selling the Hercules Highlander was also on the cards. Hercules has a fleet of 27 jackups and 19 liftboats.

The rig, an enhanced Friede & Goldman JU-2000E design, will now be delivered to Maersk Drilling, "immediately," from from Jurong Shipyard in Singapore. It has a 400ft water depth rating, 30,000ft drilling capacity, 2 million pound static hook load, 75ft cantilever reach, off-line pipe handling capability, 15,000 psui blowout preventer, HPHT rating and accommodation for up to 150 people.

The shipyard cost of the rig was estimated at US$270 million. As part of the deal, Maersk Drilling will settle a final payment of about $190 million with Jurong.

After delivery, the rig will be mobilized to the North Sea to start its contract with Maersk Oil. The value of the five-year contract is about $420 million, including a mobilization fee of $9 million. The contract includes two one-year unpriced options.

In April, Ocean Rig acquired the sixth generation ultra-deepwater drillship Cerrado following its owner, Brazil based Schahin Group going into bankruptcy.

Ocean Rig paid $65 million at auction for the unit, built at Samsung Heavy Industries' yard in South Korea in 2011. Yesterday, Seadrill CEO Per Wullf said that even though Ocean Rig paid a 10th of the Cerrado's new build cost, it was probably too much for a rig that hadn't worked for a year. He told Bloomberg the asset represents a "pure liability."

Cooper Basin focused oil & gas exploration company, Real Energy Corporation Limited (ASX:RLE), advises that the Company has successfully concluded the re-completion operations at Tamarama-1 well.

The latest intervention involved removal of the existing tubing, and re-entering the lower diversion assemblies with a small drill to mechanically remove the blockage in the tubing string. The well has now completed with a production tubing string and the post-frac flow back operation has resumed.

The well is currently free flowing back the frac fluids at an estimated fluid rate of approximately 300 barrels per day through a 3/8' choke with reported increasing gas influx. It is anticipated that it will take several days to recover a significant volume of frac fluids injected into the reservoirs during the 5-stage fracture stimulation.

The flow test with measurement of gas rates will immediately commence at the conclusion of the flow back period. The Company will report the flow test results to the market as soon as they become available.

LGO announced Wednesday that production has started from a new interval in well GY-671 on the Goudron field in Trinidad. 

 A total of 208 feet of perforations were added to the well’s Upper C-sand reservoir after setting a packer to isolate this zone. This particular sandstone interval had previously not been completed in any of the surrounding wells. After initial clean-up operations, the well flowed at rates of up to 240 barrels oil per day, before being choked back to a natural stabilized flow rate of 80 bopd.

The well will now remain on production, complementing the base level of production on the field which averaged 403 bopd during March.

LGO's Chief Executive, Neil Ritson, commented in a company statement: "We are delighted to have located a number of low cost recompletions at a time when the company remains capital constrained, but when oil prices have stabilized and we can take advantage of reduced overriding royalty rates granted recently.  

“Well GY-671 is the first of at least six candidate wells to be targeted to boost production and we are hopeful we will be able to report further significant improvements as a result of these operations. The next well is GY-50 which is expected to be completed next week over a 164-foot interval of previously unexploited net oil pay in the Goudron Sandstones."

在为印尼MDA和MBH项目提供一座浮式生产装置（FPU）的招标中，由中海油能源发展股份有限公司与印尼Pulau Kencana Raya组成的一家合资公司目前领先其两家对手。

据了解，这家中国-印尼联合体向项目股东哈斯基能源和中海油提交了最佳商务报价。分别以Modec和Emas Offshore为首的另两家联合体是另外两家潜在供应商，这两家联合体也包括印尼合作伙伴。

消息人士称，目前没有迹象显示交钥匙合同何时授出。该浮式生产装置设计日处理多达1.75亿立方英尺天然气，其中1.1亿立方英尺来自MDA气田，另外5500万立方英尺来自MBH气田。它可能会是一座改装的装置，将于合同授出后24个月内交付。

哈斯基和中海油打算租该装置10年，将具有以非常低的价格购买它的选择权。消息人士称，如果中海油能源发展和Pulau Kencana Raya合资公司中标，船体将在中国建造，尽管印尼国内有呼声要求船体在印尼建造。

有关上部模块的建造详情还不能确认。MDA 和MBH气田位于东爪哇海马都拉海峡产量分成合同区块。MDA-MBH项目是继Madura BD开发后的又一个项目，后者正处于建设阶段。BD项目设计每天生产4000万立方英尺天然气和2400桶凝析油。

A joint venture between CNOOC Energy Technology and Pulau Kencana Raya has pulled ahead of its two rivals in the contest to provide a floating production unit for the Madura MDA and MBH project in Indonesia.

The Chinese-Indonesian alliance is understood to have submitted the best commercial offer to project owners Husky Energy and China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC).

Two other groups led by Modec and Emas Offshore, and also including Indonesian partners, are the two competing potential suppliers.

Sources said there is no guidance as yet as to when a turnkey contract will be awarded.

However, Madura MDA and MBH is predominantly a gas project and the operating company already has a fixed price, plus a gas sales agreement in place to underpin contract awards and a final investment decision.

The floating production unit will be designed to handle up to 175 million cubic feet of gas per day, including a maximum 110 MMcfd from the MDA field and 55 MMcfd from the MBH field.

The vessel is likely to be a conversion and will be due for delivery 24 months after contract award.

Husky and CNOOC intend to charter the FPU for 10 years and will have an option to purchase the floater at a very low price, said sources.

Sources said that, if CNOOC Enertech and Pulau Kencana Raya are successful, the hull of the vessel will be fabricated in China, although there are calls being made domestically for the hull to be built in Indonesia.

Details around construction of the topsides could not be confirmed.

The MDA and MBH fields sit within the Madura Strait production sharing contract in the East Java Sea.

The project is the follow-up to the Madura BD development, which is in the construction stage.

The BD project is designed to produce 40 MMcfd of gas and 2400 barrels per day of condensate.

Husky said recently that the jacket and topsides for the BD wellhead platform were sailed out in late October and installed in 55 metres of water.

Development drilling is in progress, and the project is on target for first production in the 2017 timeframe.

Madura BD also involves a leased floating production, storage and offloading vessel being built by Bumi Armada.

“Our Indonesia gas developments represent some of the strongest growth opportunities in our deep portfolio and are particularly strategic in the current commodity price environment,” said chief executive Asim Ghosh.

Another discovery in the same area, MDK, will be tied into the existing fields and begin production in roughly the same timeframe.

The MDK field is expected to produce 10 MMcfd at peak. Husky said a gas price/volume contract is being negotiated.

Longer term, the company has four other Madura Strait discoveries that are under evaluation for development.

研究表明过去的40年里Texas州近90%的地震可能由油气开采引起，在过去的十年中，随着油气开采的增加，地震也越来越频繁。

由Texas州Austin大学地球学家Cliff Frohlich领导的研究人员表示：“在1975年至2015年间发生的3.0级或以上的162次地震中，约四分之一是几乎肯定是由油气开采引起的，33%是很可能，28%是不太确定”。

由油气开采引起的地震增多也使得Texas州北部的Oklahoma州增加了油气开采的审查力度。

虽然这种现象在Texas州不是那么普遍，但这篇即将在5月18号发表在《地震学研究》上的文章指出现在美国大热的页岩气开发也会引起地震。Reuters得到了一份这篇文章的一个副本。

研究人员还批评了负责Texas州石油生产监管的铁路委员会，称他们没有尽快意识到减少油气开采会减少该州地震的发生这一点。

依靠水平钻井和水力压裂技术的广泛应用，像Haynesville和Permian的页岩油气田发展迅速，3.0级以上地震发生的频率也由每年2次增加到每年12次。

相比于常规油田开采，非常规油田开采会产生两到三倍的废水，这些废水必须注入地下很深的的处理井中，这与最近发生在Texas州和Oklahoma州的一系列地震联系起来。

在Oklahoma州，随着油气的采出大量的水也被采出，仅在2015年3.0级以上的地震就发生了890次，而在2009年之前每年仅发生2到3次。因此监管机构已要求部分石油公司减少污水注入量以保持地层的稳定。

该研究的作者指出之前人们未将Texas州发生的地震与该地区的处理井和油田联系起来。然而，在油田漫长的开发历史中我们不应再忽略这一关系。

一位Texas州铁路委员会的发言人驳斥了该观点，认为该该观点太“随意”和“主观”，并表示委员会已经采取措施减少向地层的注入量。

Oil and gas activities might have caused nearly nine in 10 of the earthquakes Texas has experienced in the past 40 years, and the quakes have become more frequent as oilfield activity has picked up in the past decade, according to a forthcoming study.

Of the 162 Texas earthquakes of magnitude 3.0 or greater between 1975 and 2015, one-quarter were "almost certainly" induced by oil and gas activities, while 33% were "probably induced" and 28% were "possibly induced," researchers led by University of Texas-Austin geoscientist Cliff Frohlich wrote.

A sharp uptick in oil production-linked earthquakes has caused popular uproar and regulatory scrutiny in Texas' northern neighbor, Oklahoma.

While the phenomenon is not nearly as widespread in Texas, the paper, set to be published in Seismological Research Letters on May 18, shows the U.S.' hottest shale plays are not immune to increased seismic risk. Reuters was provided with a copy of the report prior to publication.

The researchers also criticized the Texas Railroad Commission, the agency responsible for regulating petroleum production in the state, for being "slow to acknowledge that induced earthquakes occur in Texas."

Since shale oil and gas fields like the Haynesville and the Permian boomed in 2008 due to the widespread use of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing technologies, the rate of earthquakes exceeding magnitude 3.0 has increased from 2 per year to 12 per year in Texas, the top U.S. oil-producing state.

This so-called unconventional production generates 2x to 3x more wastewater than in conventional oil fields, and has boosted the amount of water that must be injected deep underground into disposal wells, which have been linked to the recent wave of quakes in Texas and Oklahoma.

Oklahoma, where large amounts of water naturally come out of wells along with oil and gas, saw 890 earthquakes of magnitude 3.0 and above in 2015 alone, compared with two to three a year before 2009. There, regulators have asked some companies to reduce wastewater injection rates to try to tame seismic activity.

The study's authors acknowledged that the majority of disposal wells and petroleum fields in Texas had not been associated with earthquakes. "Nevertheless ... we cannot dismiss the correlations in time and space over a long operational history," they wrote.

A Texas Railroad Commission spokeswoman dismissed the study as "arbitrary" and "subjective" and said the agency had also taken steps to reduce injection volumes.

LONDON -- BP, on behalf of the Tangguh Production Sharing Contract partners, announced that the final investment decision (FID) has been approved for the development of the Tangguh Expansion Project in the Papua Barat Province of Indonesia.

The Tangguh Expansion Project will add a third LNG process train (Train 3) and 3.8 mtpa of productioncapacity to the existing facility, bringing total plant capacity to 11.4 mtpa. The project also includes two offshore platforms, 13 new production wells, an expanded LNG loading facility and supporting infrastructure.

The expansion project will play an important role in supporting Indonesia’s growing energy demand, with 75% of the Train 3 annual LNG production sold to the Indonesian state electricity company PT. PLN (Persero). The remaining volumes are under contract to Kansai Electric Power Company in Japan, the other foundation buyer for Train 3.

The project will also bring a positive contribution to Indonesia and the Papua Barat Province starting in 2016, supporting economic growth and providing 10,000 jobs spread over the project period.

“The Tangguh Expansion Project demonstrates BP and its partners’ continued confidence in Indonesia and our commitment to work closely with the government to meet the country’s energy needs, while creating thousands of jobs,” said Bob Dudley, BP Group CEO.

This FID follows the government of Indonesia’s approval of the Plan of Development II in late 2012. Awards for the project’s key engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contracts are expected in the third quarter of 2016 with construction to begin thereafter. Operation is expected in 2020.

Greka Drilling Limited, the largest independent and specialized unconventional oil and gas driller in Asia, provided Wednesday an update on the contract to provide drilling services to Essar Oil Limited (Essar) in India. The award of this contract was announced by the Company on Feb. 15.
 
Essar has issued the mobilization order in accordance to the contract and pursuant to which the Company has initiated mobilization of two drilling rigs. Greka Drilling expects to commence drilling operations in May. Essar is the largest producer of coal bed methane (CBM) in India, principally from the Raniganj East Block in West Bengal, which is the contract area for Greka Drilling.
 
Randeep S. Grewal, Chairman and CEO of Greka Drilling, commented:
“We are delighted that we are again commencing work for Essar in the development of the Raniganj block. Greka Drilling’s high quality semi-automated GD75 rigs, that are already situated within country, will drill both vertical and directional wells on a day-rate basis (rather than a meters drilled basis). The Company is also in discussions with other CBM developers in India with a view to assisting them in monetizing their gas resources and it is positive to see that the Government of India remains committed to the development of CBM as a major source of domestic clean energy. We are at the forefront of CBM industry discussions in India and the remobilization of our drilling rigs for Essar is testament to that.”

马来西亚UMW Oil & Gas公司首次与外国公司联手，到亚洲之外的地方投资，它认为公司闲置大部分钻机的时刻可能要结束了。

该公司总部位于吉隆坡，因其八台钻机中闲置了六台导致去年的亏损创下了纪录，它希望能加强与海外公司的合作，以提高它获得在东南亚总部以外地区工作的机会，董事长Rohaizad Darus在接受采访时说道，他没有透露合作公司的名字。他说，租金费已经触底，行业正显示出油价涨势缓慢复苏的迹象。由于近三个月里周增长率较好，市场比较稳定。当地时间上午10点33分它下跌1.1％。 Rohaizad在电话中说，“我们已经与合作伙伴联合竞标合同，在我们拿下合同后，联盟将正式形成。我的主要目标是让钻机工作起来，我们已经看到了复苏的迹象，但这将是一个缓慢的过程。“

与十二年中油价最低的一月份相比，原油价格已上涨约85％，这提高了油气服务供应商们对前景的预期。在过去两年中他们是马来西亚股市中表现最差的一个，因为原油价格大跌而对他们服务的需求枯竭了，并引发了租金的价格战。

CIMB交易所在上周一份报告中说道。钻机租金从2014年底每天18万美金的峰值下降到2015年第三季度的每天约10万美金，现在东南亚地区的租金可能不到7万美金了。

Malaysia’s UMW Oil & Gas Corp. is teaming up with foreign partners for the first time to venture outside of Asia and predicts the slowdown that forced the company to idle most of its drilling rigs may be ending.

The Kuala Lumpur-based company, which had a record loss last year as it idled six out of eight drilling rigs, hopes to forge alliances with overseas firms to boost its chances of winning jobs beyond its home base of Southeast Asia, President Rohaizad Darus said in an interview, declining to name the companies. Charter rates have reached a bottom and the industry is showing signs of a slow recovery amid gains in oil, he said. The stock is poised for its best weekly gain in three months. It fell 1.1 percent at 10:33 a.m. local time. “We are already jointly bidding for contracts with our partners, and the alliances would be formalized after we get them,” Rohaizad said by phone. “My main objective is to get the rigs to work. We are seeing some recovery, but it will be slow.”

Crude has surged about 85 percent from a 12-year low in January, boosting the outlook for oil and gas service providers. They were the worst performers on Malaysia’s stock market in the past two years as the rout in oil dried up demand for their services and sparked a price war on charter rates.
Charter rates for drilling rigs dropped from a peak of $180,000 a day in late 2014 to about $100,000 a day in the third quarter of 2015, and are probably now less than $70,000 in Southeast Asia today, according to CIMB Group Holdings Bhd. in a report last week.

Earlier this week, the company won a charter contract from Petronas Carigali Sdn., the exploration arm of state oil company Petroliam Nasional Bhd.
