福陆公司(Fluor Corporation)宣布其同Empresa Nacional del Petróleo (Enap)签订工程、采购和施工合同,以在智利Biobío炼油厂建设新工艺单元。Fluor将提供工程、采购和施工服务以利用流体催化裂解装置处理炼油厂的残余气体,从而减少废气排放。Fluor将对新的和现有的工艺单元的连通负责。这将按计划发生在2017年的周转期。Fluor美洲的能源与化工业务总裁Mark Fields表示:“我们衡量了我们在智利的广泛经验,同当地承包商的紧密关系以及在全球精湛的技术,因而决定开展以建设为主的执行方案。”
雪佛龙位于美国墨西哥湾Keathley Canyon的勘探区,在报道Gibson野猫井有油气发现之后,进一步证实勘探取得新进展,这口井由Pacific Santa Ana钻井船打在Keathley Canyon 96区块水下4838英尺处。该井井深共有31782英尺,Gibson一直被认为是Tigris勘探开发的潜力区/突破口,而Gibson也是雪佛龙继2009年Tiber和2013年Gila油气发现后,在2015年从英国石油公司(BP)接手的项目。

Chevron’s Tigris development in the Keathley Canyon area of the US Gulf of Mexico appears to have gained a fresh boost this summer after the supermajor reported to regulators that its Gibson wildcat was a discovery, writes Kathrine Schmidt.The well was drilled in Keathley Canyon Block 96 by the drillship Pacific Santa Ana in 4838 feet of water.The well was permitted to a depth of 31,782 feet. Gibson had been seen as a potential make or break probe for the Tigris development, which was initiated in January 2015 when Chevron agreed a deal to take over operatorship from BP of its 2009 Tiber and 2013 Gila discoveries.

Ikon Science, a software and service provider to the oil and gas industry, is in the process of running various initiatives under a 'Geo's between Jobs' program aimed to support industry professionals affected during the downturn in the current market. In late June 2016, Ikon Science Americas invited the first group of twelve winners into the Ikon office for RokDoc training. Following the class, they will have free use of a three-month license, with data and support. It is intended that they learn new rock physics skills and broaden their CVs.
Michael Hines, Senior Geoscientist and Proven Oil Finder from Houston, was one of the winning applicants. In a blog post on LinkedIn Michael wrote 'Ikon Science really should be congratulated for running a 3-day geophysical software training course for 'Geos between Jobs' from their Houston office.
The excellent RokDoc modeling package training was for 12 geoscientists in transition. It covered rock physics log analysis, QI, Gassmann substitution, synthetics, wavelet estimation, tuning models and 2D model building.'
In the interest of delivering this opportunity to more geoscientists, Ikon Science has set August dates for the next courses in Houston (now full), London, and Malaysia. Ideally, this initiative will make it to the Middle East, Australia, Asia and beyond: Ikon Science would be open to hearing from organizations that would be able to donate training facilities (room with computers) to the cause.
A further part of the 'Geos between Jobs' program includes an open invitation for job seekers to in-house Ikon Science client events. Ikon Science staff share expertise and showcase technology, workflows or ideas. Geo's between Jobs can use the opportunity to network, learn new things and of course enjoy Ikon's famous hospitality.
The final offering under the initiative is to ensure that no seats are left empty on the company's public software or theory courses. Once running a course is economically viable, spare places are to be donated to the 'Geo's between Jobs' program. Availability of places and how to apply will be posted on Ikon Science's LinkedIn page as and when they arise.

Azerbaijan state oil company Socar is still interested in becoming a stakeholder in Greek gas network operator Desfa, but the government needs to lower the price tag, the company CEO said September 5.“They [the government of Greece] made changes that contradict the tender procedures; the agreed terms for privatisation were changed and now we are waiting the explanation from the government,” Socar president Rovnag Abdullaev told reporters.Socar was the winning bidder of a Desfa international tender and the company is determined to defend its claim for completion of the deal, Abdullaev said. Socar agreed to buy 66% of Desfa for €400mn ($446mn) in 2013. After being ordered by the European Commission (EC) to surrender a 17% share to a certified European operator, Socar agreed to resell part of its 66% to Italy’s Snam. "Snam is with us in all talks with the Greece government," he said, adding that the deal with the Italian company will only be finalized only after resolution of the current situation.
