Norwegian subsea specialists Reach Subsea and Aibel have entered into a formal cooperation agreement for projects within subsea oil and gas, renewables, ship and rig repairs and decommissioning of existing platforms/subsea structures and other offshore installations.
Aibel and Reach Subsea are operating within the same market segments, however with a different client base and contracting approach.
“As each party’s core business complement each other, a formal cooperation agreement will strengthen both parties’ ability to provide a more comprehensive and competitive product. This will give each party a possibility to be qualified for and execute projects, which each party cannot provide alone,” the companies said in a release.
The parties will utilise resources from both parties in the best way to be able to undertake complex projects that may require project management, engineering, fabrication & installation, mechanical completion, commissioning/de-commissioning and ROV marine services and operations as the case may be.

Electromagnetic Geoservices (EMGS), a Norwegian geophysical services company, has entered into a data licensing agreement for the provision of 3D CSEM data from the multi-client data library in the Barents Sea. Although the company did not disclose the other party in the deal, EMGS did say on Wednesday that the deal will provide the company with a net revenue of $2.1 million. The company added that the revenue from the sale will be recognized in the third quarter of 2016.
Christiaan Vermeijden, CEO of EMGS, said that the buyer, which he described as an ‘oil company,’ purchased the 3D CSEM (Controlled-source electromagnetic) data to evaluate the exploration for hydrocarbons in the Barents Sea.
The geophysical services company in August reported a smaller loss for the second quarter of 2016 compared to the same period last year as revenues increased. Also in August, EMGS entered into a data licensing agreement with a repeat customer for 3D EM data to be acquired over the Hoop area in the Barents Sea.

Ophir Energy, a London-listed oil and gas company, is making progress with its floating LNG project in Equatorial Guinea where it is working on developing the gas reserves found in the offshore Block R.The company on Thursday said the upstream part of the Fortuna FLNG project was ‘technically ready’ for a Final Investment Decision. Also, on the upstream side, Ophir has boasted that the company has reduced estimated upstream costs from $1 billion at the end of 2014 to ca. $450 million today.
To remind, in May 2015, Golar and Ophir reached an agreement whereby Golar would operate the Gimi FLNG unit under a twenty-year charter term. During this period it will be responsible for the sub-sea well control, receiving, liquefying and offloading the gas to LNG vessels.Ophir and Golar LNG continue to explore ways to work together to monetize the discovered resource in the Fortuna field. Ophir added that the discussions are progressing well and both parties are working towards an FID decision being made before the end of 2016.”
“We estimate that Fortuna is the lowest cost greenfield LNG project in the market today. As such the Fortuna Project continues to offer compelling returns despite the low commodity price environment,” the company said on Thursday.

Oil major ConocoPhillips has reportedly opted for an early cancellation of a drilling contract with Rowan Companies for its jack-up drilling rig Rowan Gorilla VI.
The Rowan Gorilla VI is a LeTourneau Technologies Super Gorilla Class rig built in 2000. With a leg length of 607 ft, the rig is capable of operating in a maximum water depth of 400 ft. Rowan’s jack-up rig drilling rig is working for ConocoPhillips offshore Norway under a dayrate of $362,000. The rig’s original contract was set to expire in March 2018.
According to a Norwegian-language website covering the country’s offshore oil and gas industry, ConocoPhillips decided to terminate the contract for the rig once the jack-up completes the plugging and abandonment operations at the Ekofisk field, offshore Norway. This will bring the number of Rowan rigs working in Norway to only one, the Rowan Viking which operates for Lundin. The Norwegian news website also stated that it is yet unknown how many workers will lose their jobs because of the termination.

STAVANGER, Norway -- Maersk Training has signed a global framework agreement with Statoil to provide drilling simulation training for the next three years with an option to extend for an additional two years.
Statoil identified a need for advanced drilling simulation training and theory courses in order to reduce the time used for training offshore and to increase safety, operational understanding and efficiency. The courses are aimed at improving
communication within and between teams, and they provide the opportunity to practice
difficult operations in a safe environment without impacting live operations.
Maersk Training and its partners Oiltec and eDrilling will leverage a portfolio of
well-specific cases and events to challenge and develop Statoil employees. There will
be a strong focus on best practice for team training and procedural discipline. This
will help the drilling and well teams detect issues earlier and be able to react to,
or potentially recover from, critical events in the safest and most efficient way.
“Our global presence and state-of-the-art facilities, which include fully immersive
simulators to make training as close to reality as possible, means we can provide
high-quality learning in a cost-effective manner. We are convinced that this focus
will further improve Statoil’s operational efficiency and cut non-productive time,”
Claus Bihl, CEO of Maersk Training, said.
Training will primarily take place in Stavanger, Norway, but Maersk Training
facilities in Aberdeen, Houston, Rio de Janeiro and Dubai are also setup to
accommodate the needs of Statoil.

Asia Offshore Drilling Limited (AOD) has secured a drilling contract extension for a jack-up drilling rig AOD III with Saudi Aramco, off Saudi Arabia, but with a reduced dayrate. AOD is a partnership venture between Mermaid and Seadrill where Mermaid has 33.76 percent equity stake while the other 66.24 percent equity is owned by Seadrill.
In July 2016, Saudi Aramco awardedtwo three-year contract extensions to AOD’s other two jack-up rigs, the AOD I and AOD II, and started negotiations with AOD for the third rig. The contracts for these two rigs are expiring in June 2019 and July 2019, respectively. Mermaid informed on Tuesday that, after negotiations with the client, AOD was awarded the extension of the drilling contract for the third rig until December 31, 2016. The rig has been working for Saudi Aramco since its delivery in 2013 and its current contract is expiring in October. The company noted that the extension is at a reduced dayrate in order to “remain competitive in this challenging business environment”.

Superior Drilling Products和Drilling Tools International签署Drill-N-Ream井筒调节系统的销售协议
[collapse title=英文原文请点击]
VERNAL, Utah and HOUSTON -- Superior Drilling Products (SDP) and Drilling Tools International (DTI) have announced a distribution agreement, which establishes DTI as the exclusive distributor of SDP’s patented Drill-N-Ream well bore conditioning system in the North American onshore and offshore markets, excluding the Rocky Mountain region.
The Drill-N-Ream is a unique reaming assembly technology that both widens and conditions the well bore during the drilling process, eliminating the requirement for a dedicated reaming run.
“This partnership with DTI provides our Drill-N-Ream and the Superior Drilling Products brand exceptionally larger exposure throughout North America, especially in regions in which we have little market presence,” Troy Meier, chairman and CEO of SDP, said.
Wayne Prejean, president and CEO of DTI, added, “We expect our customers to adopt the Drill-N-Ream technology quickly and that it will be a successful addition to our product and service offerings. We have seen how well this bore hole conditioning system operates. It immediately addresses our customers’ requirements to reduce the cost of hydrocarbon extraction.”
In exchange for the distribution rights, DTI has agreed to purchase a minimum operating fleet of Drill-N-Ream tools in 2016. DTI’s exclusive rights to provide the Drill-N-Ream to customers in the distribution territory are dependent upon achievement of certain sales objectives. The agreement is a multi-year agreement and will remain in effect subject to the performance targets being met during the term of the agreement.
