1. 俄罗斯支持冻产又期望增产

俄罗斯能源部长Alexander Novak称:俄罗斯与OPEC成员国一道,支持冻产决议的基本立场不变,但同时致力于实现明年石油产量创新高。

2. 投资商权衡动产协议 油价升至50美元

俄罗斯的态度自然会对冻产协议能否达成构成影响。Novak可能会说:“你们都要限制产量,但我们俄罗斯不需要。”油价现在是50美元/桶,市场走势还会如何?

3. 中国减少石油生产 亚洲市场紧缩

咨询师和分析人士认为,中国石油产量和存储量的减少将使亚洲市场恢复平衡。

4. 欧洲打破俄罗斯对芬兰的能源控制

途径波罗的海、总长94英里的管道项目对芬兰意义重大。芬兰能源供应渠道更加多元化,从而降低了对俄罗斯的依赖。

5. 壳牌以10亿美元出售加拿大资产

本周出售大块资产的不只埃克森美孚。壳牌也宣布将把加拿大20多万英亩的油气资产出售给Tourmaline Oil,目前这一区域的日产能为24850桶油当量。

6. 天然气储量增加 价格下降

上周天然气储量增加了770亿立方英尺。持续的温暖天气导致天然气价格下降。

Russia eyes record-high oil output, but sticks to 'freeze' option. Energy Minister Alexander Novak says his country's main position of supporting an output freeze with OPEC members hasn't changed, but that's not stopping Russian officials from aiming for the highest levels of oil output in the next year.

Oil Holds Near $50 as Investors Weigh Production-Cut Agreement. Naturally, the news from Russia has some weighing the likelihood of a deal passing if Novak says "You all need to limit your output - us? Nah, we're cool." Oil held at $50 a barrel but how else might the market react?

Asia's oil markets are tightening as China cuts output, fuel stocks dwindle. Energy consultants and analysts say the Asian oil markets might be returning to balance as Chinese oil production and inventories fall.

Europe breaking Russia's energy grip on Finland. The 94-mile Baltic-connector pipeline might have big implications for Finland, which has sought to diversify its energy sector to meet its needs and rely far less on Russia.

Shell unloads Canadian acreage for $1 billion. ExxonMobil isn't the only one making big asset sells this week - Shell announced it will sell more than 200,000 acres, which produces about 24,850 barrels of oil equivalents per day, to Tourmaline Oil Corp.

Natural Gas Prices Fall On Growing Stockpiles. Warm weather is staying around along with lower natural gas prices, as stockpiles grew by 77 billion cubic feet last week.

World Bank boosts 2017 crude oil forecast to $55 per barrel. World Bank officials say they expect to see a solid rise in energy prices in the next year with oil at the front of the pack.

Study Confirms Natural Gas Economy Has Lower Methane, Global Warming Emissions. A new, scientific study reportedly says "methane emissions from fossil fuels have not increased, even with a substantial increase in natural gas production."

The UK’s Oil And Gas Ultimatum: Exploration Or Bust. Jobs are down, supplies are down and spending is down. What can the UK do to diversify and strengthen its energy, particularly after its exit from the EU?

PDVSA Default Would Spell Trouble for U.S. Refiners’ Oil Supply. The outlook is becoming clear - Petroleos de Venezuela SA going belly up would spell a lot of trouble for refiners stateside.

Parnaiba逆风而上 寻求扩张

张弘引

Parnaiba Gas Natural SA公司是巴西最大的独立天然气生产商,目前,该公司正在考虑收购并提高天然气产量。石油圈原创www.oilsns.com

该公司CEO Pedro Zinner说,该公司去年花费8亿雷亚尔(2.23亿美元)用于扩建基础设施和巴西陆地最大钻井项目中的30个钻井平台建设,促使公司去年7月份天然气产量翻倍,增至8.4 MMcmg(297 MMcfg),并有望进一步增加。

公司负责人Zinner表示,Parnaiba 正在寻找机会,目前发现了很多的搁置资产。例如,Petroleo Brasileiro SA公司为了缓解石油行业的债务压力,度过本次石油市场的困难期,正准备精简资产,小到输油管,大到海上油田。除了收购以外, Parnaiba 公司还计划在其去年10月份获得的7个区块内寻找更多的天然气资源,并计划明年运用地震勘探技术绘制地图,设定钻探点。

RIO DE JANEIRO (Bloomberg) -- Parnaiba Gas Natural SA, Brazil’s biggest independent natural gas producer, is considering acquisitions and preparing to expand output in Latin America’s biggest economy.

The Rio de Janeiro-based producer spent 800 million reais ($223 million) last year to expand infrastructure and drill 30 wells in what was Brazil’s biggest drilling campaign on land, CEO Pedro Zinner said in an interview. This has put the company on track to nearly double output to 8.4 MMcmg (297 MMcfg) in July, and it is looking to expand further, he said.

“We’re always looking at opportunities,” said Zinner at the company’s office in Rio. “We’ll see a lot of stranded assets.”

State-controlled Petroleo Brasileiro SA is looking to divest assets ranging from pipelines to offshore oil fields in an effort to ease the biggest debt load in the oil industry and withstand the worst oil market in a generation. Apart from potential acquisitions, Parnaiba also plans to hunt for more gas deposits at seven concessions it won in October. It plans to start using seismic technology next year to map the geology and decide on drilling sites, he said.

Petronas加大裁员力度

赵美园

由于市况持续低迷,马来西亚油气生产商Petronas计划进一步缩减劳动力规模。 今年3月,Petronas宣布在全公司范围内进行结构重组,称此举是为了建立 “一个更平衡、精简、高效的业务运作新模式”。但此次结构重组使公司多出1000个冗余岗位。近日,《华尔街日报》援引知情人士言论指出:Petronas正在低油价的阴霾中苦苦挣扎。该大型国企还将裁减数百个职位,且裁员将针对已上市运营项目。据马来西亚新闻网站Malay Mail Online报道, Petronas表示将继续调整经营战略和人员编制,以适应市场需求。

Malaysian oil and gas company Petronas is reportedly planning to reduce its workforce further due to a prolonged market downturn. Petronas announced in March a company-wide organizational restructuring, saying the new structure was designed for “a flatter, leaner and more efficient business operating model”. This restructuring resulted in redundancies of around 1,000 positions. The Wall Street Journal reported, citing sources familiar with the matter, that Petronas is looking to ax several hundred more jobs as the national oil company continues to struggle with the effects of the lower oil price. The daily newspaper also said that the oil company is planning to make these job cuts at its publicly listed operations. According to the Malaysian news website Malay Mail Online, Petronas said it would continue to review its business strategies and staffing levels as it adjusts to changes in demand.

Spectrum ASA has successfully completed the acquisition of 2D seismic data offshore south Somalia. It was on the 5th September, 2015 when Spectrum ASA and the Federal Government of Somalia entered into a Multi-client master cooperation agreement with the federal government of Somalia during a signing ceremony at the SYL Hotel, Mogadishu. The survey has been completed without any incident.
The total number of sail line Kms acquired equates to 20,582.75 Km. The new acquisition will complement 20,000 km of existing seismic that was acquired in 2014. The two surveys will allow the in-depth study of hydrocarbon prospectivity offshore Somalia.
Soon Spectrum will start to process and interpret the data and and its findings will be announced by the Federal Government. This effort will reveal the resources, whether oil or gas, hidden beneath the sea-floor of the Indian Ocean.
Furthermore, seven Somali geo-scientists paticipated on the acquisition of the data and trained on the ship excuting the seismic shooting. These trainees will go to Cairo, Egypt where they will further learn more on data processing and geologic interpretation at Spectrum's centre there.

雪佛龙、壳牌多家公司竞标卡塔尔油田的开采权

任伟伟

卡塔尔多哈(彭博社资讯)两名熟知内情的人士表示,雪佛龙、荷兰皇家壳牌、道达尔、康菲和马士基石油卡塔尔分公司都参与了卡塔尔最大海上油田开采权的竞标。

卡塔尔石油公司收到了五家石油公司的提议,建议签订一份开发Al-Shaheen油田的产量分成协议,该油田目前的产能是30万桶/天,说这话的人不愿透露姓名,因为这个问题是私人化的。他们还说今年国营的卡塔尔石油公司将最终决定一家合作方。

雪佛龙、道达尔、康菲和卡塔尔石油公司的领导们没有立刻回应评论,壳牌拒绝评论,然而马士基公司对卡塔尔石油公司提了一个要求。

Al-Shaheen约占卡塔尔日产油量的一半,与Maersk的产量所占份额相同。根据彭博社统计的数据显示,卡塔尔四月份的产量达到670000桶。这个国家是世界上最大的液化天然气出口国,它也是石油出口国组织中第三小的石油生产商。根据世界银行的数据显示,销售石油和液化天然气已经使这个国家250万的人民成为世界上人均购买力最富有的人。

马士基石油卡塔尔分部,位于哥本哈根的AP Moeller-Maersk A/S的子公司,是目前的运营商,并且自1992年以来一直在开发和管理该油田。它与卡塔尔石油公司的协议到2017年中期截止。

Chevron, Royal Dutch Shell, Total, ConocoPhillips and Maersk Oil Qatar submitted bids to operate Qatar’s biggest offshore oil field, according to two people with knowledge of the matter.

Qatar Petroleum received proposals from the five oil companies to enter a production sharing agreement to operate Al-Shaheen field, which currently produces 300,000 bpd, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the matter is private. State-run Qatar Petroleum will choose an operator this year, they said.

Officials at Chevron, Total, Conoco and Qatar Petroleum didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. Shell declined to comment, while Maersk referred a request to Qatar Petroleum.

Al-Shaheen accounts for about half of Qatar’s daily crude output and the same share of Maersk’s production. Qatar pumped 670,000 bopd in April, data compiled by Bloomberg show. The country, the third-smallest oil producer in the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, is the world’s biggest exporter of LNG. Sales of oil and LNG have made the state of 2.5 million people the world’s richest per capita by purchasing power parity, according to the World Bank.

Maersk Oil Qatar, a unit of Copenhagen-based AP Moeller-Maersk A/S, is the current operator and has developed and managed the field since 1992. Its agreement with Qatar Petroleum ends in mid-2017.[/collapse]
