Statoil Completes Two-well Exploration Drilling Campaign Off Newfoundland
Statoil, along with its partner, Husky Energy, has finalized a two-well exploration drilling program in the Flemish Pass Basin offshore Newfoundland. Both wells were drilled safely and efficiently by the Seadrill West Aquarius in the Flemish Pass Basin, located approximately 500 kilometres east of St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador. The two wells, located within tie-back vicinity to Statoil’s 2013 Bay du Nord discovery, did not result in the discovery of hydrocarbons. “These results are disappointing, as we had hoped to add additional optionality to the near-field area

to conduct maintenance. Its networking technology allows these systems to be placed at low cost and are easily relocated. The team has completed an 18-month test and evaluation of four full-scale Power Harvesting Bottom Mount (PHBM) systems. The test and evaluation program was cosponsored by Husky Energy to learn more about the systems’ long-term durability and performance for possible application in future offshore operations. The testing commenced in June of 2014 and was completed in January of 2016. All of the units were deployed in Placentia Bay, off the Newfoundland coast, in approximately

Among the needs that were identified as high priority was station-keeping in ice using either mooring or dynamic positioning. The limiting case used for design was station-keeping during emergency response, which pointed to the need for

Keeping an eye on these floating giants is a full time job several months of the year and requires an action plan by those operating in this environment to thwart off any pending collision. Suncor, Husky Energy, Statoil and the various shareholders of the Hibernia platform, presently operate off the Newfoundland coast, some at more ice risk than others, but all potentially a target. “We require all of the operators to have ice management plans which are submitted to us as part of the authorization
