Iraq doesn't expect to resume production from the northern Qayyara oil region before the capture of nearby Mosul from Islamic State, an oil ministry spokesman Asim Jihad said on Tuesday.The region's two main fields, Qayyara and Najma, used to produce up to 30,000 barrels per day of heavy crude before it fell under control of the ultra-hardline militants two years ago. It has also a small refinery to process some local oil.
The Iraqi army took Qayyara back last week and oil ministry services started putting out fires at wells caused by insurgents as a tactic to escape air surveillance and hamper the progression of Iraqi forces.The oil ministry also dug trenches to prevent oil spills from reaching the Tigris river, Jihad said. Angolan oil company Sonangol pulled out from an agreement to increase output at the Qayyara fields in 2014, citing the increased security risk.

Seadrill Limited has received a notice of termination from Pemex Exploracion y Servicios for the West Pegasus drilling contract effective 16 August 2016. Seadrill has disputed the grounds for termination and is reviewing its legal options.
During the second quarter of 2015 Seadrill signed a provisional commitment for a two year extension to the Contract with Pemex for the West Pegasus. In conjunction with the extension, the dayrate for the remaining term of the initial contract was reduced. The extension of the Contract was finalized during the first quarter of 2016.
As part of this agreement, Seadrill and Seamex Limited, our 50% owned joint venture with Fintech, agreed to reduce the dayrate on five jack-ups for a period of 365 days. The agreement to reduce the dayrates of the existing contracts was contingent upon final confirmation of the two year extension of the West Pegasus by Pemex management.
In the event of termination, Seadrill and Seamex are entitled to recover the dayrate concessions as well as the demobilization for the West Pegasus. In addition, Seadrill will seek reimbursement of certain costs incurred in anticipation of the extension.

Marathon Oil Corporation has achieved first gas production through its new Alba B3 offshore compression platform off Equatorial Guinea.
Production from the B3 platform allows Marathon Oil to convert approximately 130 million barrels of oil equivalent of proved undeveloped reserves, more than doubling the company’s remaining proved developed reserve base in EG, Marathon said in a press release on Thursday. “The Alba B3 compression project will allow us to maintain plateau production for the next two years, mitigating base decline, while extending the Alba Field’s life by up to eight years,” said Mitch Little, Vice President.
Execution of the Alba B3 compression project involved engineering and construction in four countries with Heerema Fabrication Group (HFG) serving as the general contractor. An Equatoguinean construction firm fabricated both the platform flare and bridge structures. Marathon Oil’s wholly owned subsidiary Marathon E.G. Production holds an approximately 65 percent working interest in the Alba Field and is the operator, while Noble Energy owns approximately 35 percent.

Menos de três anos depois de adquirir uma participação na Ecovix, um consórcio liderado pela Mitsubishi Heavy Industries vendeu sua fatia.
O consórcio japonês JB Minovix Investimentos e Participações comprou 30% da Ecovix por 30 bilhões de ienes, cerca de 305 milhões de dólares, em outubro de 2013.
A Ecovix é dona do Estaleiro Rio Grande e foi criada em 2010 para fornecimento de cascos de perfuração e sondas para empresas como Petrobras e Sete Brasil, mas hoje enfrenta dificuldades financeiras.
Por isso, pouco tempo depois de seu investimento, o grupo japonês irá vender sua participação para a Jackson Empreendimentos, que é controlador dos ativos da Engevix e já possuía 70% da Ecovix.
O Cade aprovou a operação em dezembro de 2015.
A JB Minovix Investimentos e Participações S.A. é controlada pela Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, com 47,06% do capital, e também tem participações as companhias japonesas MC Corporation, Imabari Shipbuilding Co., Ltda., Namura Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. e Oshima Shipbuilding Co., Ltd.
Construção naval em crise
A Ecovix, dona dos três Estaleiros Rio Grande, é subsidiária do grupo de engenharia Engevix. Ela nasceu em 2010 para construção naval e marítima.
O estaleiro Rio Grande tinha contratos com a Petrobras, para a construção de plataformas para exploração no pré-sal, e com a Sete Brasil, para a construção de três sondas de perfuração.
No entanto, tanto a Petrobras quanto a Sete Brasil estão passando por grandes dificuldades e devem cancelar os contratos.
Além disso, a Engevix é investigada na Operação Lava Jato e já teve dois sócios presos. Para tentar se reerguer, ela está tentando vender a hidrelétrica de São Roque, que está sendo construída em Santa Catarina, um projeto orçado em 700 milhões de reais.
A Ecovix também está em meio a um processo de reestruturação, com refinanciamento de dívidas com bancos e dezenas de fornecedores.

Malaysian drilling contractor UMW Offshore Drilling has secured a drilling contract for one of its jack-up rigs. Namely, the company’s Naga 2 jack-up drilling unit will work for Australian oil company Octanex, drilling development wells at the Ophir field, off Malaysia. The announcement on the contract was revealed by Octanex on Monday, which said that UMW had won the contract following a successful tender. The Naga 2 will be deployed at the Ophir field in the second quarter of 2017, where it will drill three production wells. Octanex COO Rae Clark said that the award of the drilling contract locks in significant cost savings for the Ophir project. He did not reveal the financial details of the agreement.
The field is located offshore the Peninsular Malaysia, being developed under a risk service contract granted in 2014 to Ophir Production company, in which Octanex owns a 50 percent stake. The field is being developed via three production vessel, a wellhead platform and a leased FPSO unit.

Total has put on stream the Incahuasi gas and condensate field, the Group’s first operated development in Bolivia, with a production capacity of 50,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d).
"Incahuasi is one of the largest gas and condensate fields brought on stream in Bolivia. Incahuasi’s production will contribute to Bolivia’s gas exports to Argentina and Brazil as well as domestic consumption”, said Arnaud Breuillac, President of Total Exploration & Production. “Delivered within budget, Incahuasi is the 4th start-up this year and as a low-cost project with a long production plateau, it will contribute to the Group’s production growth in 2016 and beyond.”
The Incahuasi field lies at more than 5,600 meters beneath the Andean foothills, 250 kilometers from the city of Santa Cruz de la Sierra. The first phase of the field development involves three wells, a gas treatment plant and 100 kilometers of associated export pipelines. The second phase of development, involving three further wells, is currently under consideration.
Incahuasi is situated in the Aquio and Ipati blocks. The development is operated by Total (50%), with partners Gazprom (20%), Tecpetrol (20%) and YPFB Chaco (10%).
MOL Group has made a new gas discovery in its operated TAL Block in Pakistan, marking the company’s 13th find in the country.
The Tolanj West-1 well is located in the Tolanj field within the TAL block. The exploratory well reached a total depth of 16,210 feet and flowed gas at a rate of 2,300 barrels of oil equivalent per day.
“This is a complex field and the new discovery will allow to monetize and develop Tolanj in an even more efficient way,” said Berislav Gašo, MOL Group’s E&P chief operational officer.

Eni informs that Zohr 5x, the fifth well on Zohr structure has been successfully drilled to the final TD of 14,271 ft (4,350 m). The Zohr 5x well is located in 1,538 m of water depth and 12 Km south west from the discovery well Zohr 1x.
The well proved the presence of a carbonatic reservoir and gas accumulation also in the South-Western part of the Zohr mega-structure encountering about 590 ft (180 metres) of continuous hydrocarbon column in the carbonate sequence with excellent reservoir characteristics. The results are confirming the potential of the Zohr Field at 30 Tcf OGIP.
The well was also successfully tested opening 90 m of reservoir section to production. The data collected during the test confirmed the great deliverability of the Zohr reservoir, in line with the Zohr 2 well test, producing more than 50 mmscfd limited only by the constraints of the drilling ship production facilities.In the production configuration, the well is estimated to deliver up to 250 mmscf per day.

Royal Dutch Shell is interested to take part in developing Russia's Yuzhno-Kirinskoye field, Chief Executive Ben van Beurden told Russia's Vedomosti daily newspaper in an interview.
He added that expansion of the Sakhalin-2 LNG project in Russia's Pacific Island of Sakhalin may need gas both from that field and from the Sakhalin-1 project.
It was reported last September that Shell was in talks to join Russia's state-controlled Gazprom in tapping the Yuzhno-Kirinskoye gas field offshore Russia's Sakhalin island.
