Subsea7 Secures Work with Talos Energy in Gulf of Mexico
to begin later in 2024. “This award further strengthens our strategic partnership with Talos Energy, enabling early-stage collaboration for faster, more predictable project delivery,” Craig Broussard, Vice President for Subsea7 Gulf of Mexico.To remind, Talos Energy confirmed oil and gas discovery in the Sunspear development, located in Green Canyon Block 78, in August 2023.At the time, Talos's preliminary post-drill analysis indicated approximately 260 feet of gross true vertical thickness of oil pay (177 feet net across two targets), including 149 feet of net oil pay in the main
Optime Subsea to Deliver Two ROCS for Deepest Gas Field Offshore Norway
approximately 1,350 meters in the Norwegian Sea, and is said to be the deepest field on the Norwegian continental shelf. It will be developed as a tie-in to the Aasta Hansteen FPSO.The Irpa gas volumes may supply just over 2.3 million UK households with gas for seven years, Equinor said earlier.The gas discovery is located almost 80 kilometers from the Aasta Hansteen field, and the development will extend the field’s productive life by seven years, up to 2039.Norway Approves Equinor's New Field Developments, Including Country's Deepest Offshore FieldThe latest award comes only three months
TechnipFMC's Subsea Production System for Equinor's Irpa Project
Landes, President of Subsea at TechnipFMC, commented: “This project will utilize our standardized production system, which was designed to meet the specific demands of the Norwegian Continental Shelf."Equinor submitted a plan for development and operation (PDO) for the Irpa offshore gas discovery, formerly known as Asterix, to the Norwegian Minister for Petroleum and Energy in November 2022.The Irpa gas discovery, sitting in the Norwegian Sea at a depth of 1350 meters, is located 340 kilometers west of Bodø. The gas from the field will be phased into the existing Aasta Hansteen
Orca-1 is Largest Gas Discovery of the Year
On 28 October 2019 oil giant BP announced a major gas discovery, Orca-1, exploration well in the BirAllah area off the coast of Mauritania.“The deepest and largest discovery so far this year, Rystad Energy estimates Orca-1 holds around 1.3 billion barrels of oil equivalent (boe) of recoverable resources,” says Palzor Shenga, a senior analyst on Rystad Energy’s upstream team.Offshore continues to dominate exploration in 2019, both in terms of the number of discoveries and the volume of resources unearthed. Boosted by the find, Mauritania now ties Guyana for the second most discovered
Martin Linge Hooked Up to Shore Power
solution for phase 1 of the Johan Sverdrup oil field in the North Sea and entered into an agreement with Equinor to design, engineer, produce and install the power from shore connection for the second phase of the development.The North Sea Martin Linge field (previously called Hild) is an oil and gas discovery made in 1978. The field is located 42 kilometers west of Oseberg, where the water depth is 115 meters. Equinor, which became the operator of the field in March 2018, is the majority shareholder Martin Linge with 70% interest. Petoro holds the remaining 30%.The field development comprises a jacket-base
Oi: Tracking 50 Years of Ocean Innovation
what exploration of the deep could offer, through the likes of Jacques Cousteau, was starting to be applied in a new industry, North Sea oil and gas exploration. The possibilities of new industries such as deepsea mining and seafloor habitation were also being discussed.Mid-century saw the first gas discovery in the North Sea, followed, a year later, in 1966, by the founding of the Society of Underwater Technology. An industry was born. Just three years later, so was Oceanology. Donald Brooks, of BPS Exhibitions, was its founder, launching the show at the Hotel Metropole on Brighton seafront &ndash
Total Makes Major Offshore UK Gas Discovery
French oil and energy group Total said on Monday it had made a major gas discovery on the Glendronach prospect, located off the coast of the Shetland islands in the North Sea.Total said preliminary tests on the new gas discovery confirmed good reservoir quality, permeability and well production deliverability, with recoverable resources estimated at about one trillion cubic feet (1 tcf).It said Glendronach, located near its Edradour field, will be tied back to the existing infrastructure and developed quickly and at low cost.Total said the discovery will extend the life of the West of Shetland infrastru
New Oil Discovered in the North Sea
. The discovery in the well’s main target is estimated to contain 15-35 million barrels of recoverable oil.There was made one additional discovery with very good reservoir quality over the main discovery, but the volume in this discovery has not been evaluated. The well also appraised the 2004 gas discovery Verdandi and the estimate of 4-11 million recoverable oil equivalent is maintained. Further work will determine whether these two shallower reservoirs can be commercially developed.“This discovery has good quality and adds new volumes in an important area of the North Sea. We also see a
Well Drilling at Fogelberg Gas Discovery to Start in Feb/March
Centrica said drilling will start on an appraisal well at its Fogelberg natural gas discovery in the Norwegian sea in February/March to gain a better understanding of volumes and reservoir quality. Norwegian company Island Drilling has won the drilling contract, Centrica said in a statement on Friday. The agreement also includes an option for two additional wells. The Fogelberg discovery was made in 2010 and is estimated to hold around 60 million barrels of oil equivalent. Production is scheduled to start in 2021. Centrica Norway is the operator for the Fogelberg
