Det norske oljeselskap, a Norwegian oil company, and BP Norge, a Norwegian subsidiary of the British oil firm BP, have completed their previously announced merger. Det norske said on Friday morning that the closing of the transaction was scheduled to take place “today,” September 30, 2016. Det norske reported that the merger and the subsequent establishment of Aker BP, the independent offshore E&P company on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, was completed.
To remind, the deal was announced mid-June, when it was agreed that Det norske would issue 135.1 million shares based on NOK 80 per share to BP as compensation for all shares in BP Norge. In parallel, Aker, Det norske’s major shareholder, would acquire 33.8 million of these shares from BP at the same share price to achieve the agreed-upon ownership structure.
The company has been renamed Aker BP with Aker and BP as main industrial shareholders. The new E&P company is independently operated and listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange. Aker BP is jointly owned by Aker (40 percent), BP (30 percent), and other Det norske shareholders (30 percent).

IEA, "OPEC Has Abandoned Free Market Policy". Don't you just hate it when capitalism works? Once again, NOCs cannot stand the concept of trade controlled by corporations. The chatter on caps has led the IEA to believe a re-balance is closer. Art, Mike, Don, and Ed all laugh hysterically.
Technip Lands Dvalin Contract. In the North Sea, the Dvalin field ties back to the Heidrun platform with four subsea templates. Technip has been awarded the honor of fabricating the flowlines and other subsea transport tubulars to perform the tie-back. If Technip wins, Subea 7 loses. You win some, you lose some.
Offshore Driller, Songa, lays up Semisub Dee. The Songa Dee’s contract naturally expired with Statoil and now sits idle at Port Mongstad. Here she is right now.
Permian Player, Diamondback Pulls Ejection Handle. Diamondback pulls out of talks concerning a Silver Hills Energy Acquisition. Diamondback has been one of the biggest acquirers of acreage in the most attractive shale play in the U.S., the Permian.
The People of China Like Cars. Gasoline demand is likely higher than reported by the Chinese according to Energy Aspects. Data out of China unreliable? I am shocked. Wait until we learn what the banking numbers really look like.

The Brazilian state-owned oil company has now axed its charter of the Sevan Driller, having suspended the contract last December as part of “commercial negotiations” for both units, the Oslo-listed contractor said in a statement.
Sevan has also agreed to cut the dayrate for the second rig, Sevan Brasil, to $250,000 in order to keep the rig employed with Petrobras and prevent a termination of both contracts, thereby avoiding a protracted legal battle between the parties, it stated.
The latter rig, which was previously working for a dayrate of $383,000, has a six-year contract due to expire in July 2018 while the now-terminated deal for the Sevan Driller – effective from last December - had been due to end in June this year.
Sevan said it had been able to preserve $220 million of backlog through the revised charter for Sevan Brasil, while enabling it to find alternative work for Sevan Driller that has now been fixed on a short-term charter with Shell off Brazil.
The contractor, which is majority owned by John Fredriksen’s Seadrill, confirmed the Sevan Driller had been taken by the Anglo-Dutch supermajor on a 60-day well intervention contract, with two 30-day options, due to start in the second quarter.
As a result, Sevan’s total revenue backlog is now estimated at $509 million, having recently secured an extension of a contract at a lower dayrate with LLOG Bluewater for its rig Sevan Louisiana working in the US Gulf of Mexico.
A fourth newbuild cylindrical unit, Sevan Developer, remains at Cosco Shipyard in China after Sevan last year exercised an initial option to defer delivery until April 2016.

BP plc has doubled its interest in the Culzean development in the UK Central North Sea to 32 percent, following its acquisition of an additional 16 percent interest from JX Nippon.
Discovered in 2008, the gas condensate field has resources estimated at 250-300 million barrels of oil equivalent. Production is expected to start in 2019 and continue into the 2030s, with plateau production of 60,000-90,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day. The Maersk-operated Culzean field development, which was sanctioned at the end of August last year, is expected to produce enough gas to meet five percent of total UK demand at peak production in 2020/21.
“We are pleased to have deepened our interest in Culzean and we look forward to helping Maersk make this important central North Sea development a success,” said Mark Thomas, BP’s North Sea regional president, in a company statement.
“This is a challenging time for the industry and we must continue to work together to ensure that when developments like Culzean, or other projects such as BP’s Quad 204 and Clair Ridge, come online they can be run as efficiently as possible,” he added.
