New Jersey lawmakers and Governor Chris Christie on Friday struck a $16 billion deal to fund stalled state transportation projects for the next eight years by hiking the gasoline tax 23 cents a gallon.The proposal would increase the total state gas tax, which has not risen since 1988, to 37.5 cents a gallon. In exchange, lawmakers would reduce sales taxes and eliminate an estate tax on wealthy residents.Christie also said he would ask voters in November to approve a constitutional amendment mandating that gas tax revenues be dedicated to transportation projects.

Malaysian state oil firm Petroliam Nasional Bhd is considering selling its majority stake in a $27 billion Canadian liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant, three people familiar with the matter said this week.Petroliam Nasional, or Petronas, is weighing options for the project as its finances have been squeezed after crude oil prices have collapsed by more than 50 percent since the middle of 2014. Additionally, the economics of the project have been called into question as LNG prices for delivery into the main markets in northeast Asia have slumped more than 70 percent over nearly the same time period. Petronas was given the go-ahead for the project by the Canadian government earlier this week. It said then that executives would study the conditions imposed by the Canadian authorities and conduct a review before deciding on the next steps.They added that finding a buyer in current market conditions would be difficult. Petronas signed on for the project in 2012 through the acquisition of Canada's Progress Energy.

Don't Count Petrobras Out. While CAPEX cuts are coming, there is still plenty of work. Things are looking better for Brazil with six new platforms and, as of today, two new FPU tenders. Don't forget the Libra and Sepia projects need vendors as well. Chin up boys and girls, we ain't dead yet.
Bombs Rain Down on Syria. This is relevant. I promise. Yesterday I reported that ISIL has been booted from Iraqi oilfields. Today, ISIL's homeland of Syria is getting slammed but this time Russia is in command. Beware, this article is full of opinion and facts. Don't click if you are faint of heart.

Det norske oljeselskap, a Norwegian oil company, and BP Norge, a Norwegian subsidiary of the British oil firm BP, have completed their previously announced merger. Det norske said on Friday morning that the closing of the transaction was scheduled to take place “today,” September 30, 2016.

In parallel, Aker, Det norske’s major shareholder, would acquire 33.8 million of these shares from BP at the same share price to achieve the agreed-upon ownership structure.
The company has been renamed Aker BP with Aker and BP as main industrial shareholders. The new E&P company is independently operated and listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange. Aker BP is jointly owned by Aker (40 percent), BP (30 percent), and other Det norske shareholders (30 percent).

Offshore drilling contractor Dolphin Drilling, a subsidiary of Fred. Olsen Energy, has entered into an early termination agreement with Total E&P UK for the tender support vessel Borgsten Dolphin. The driller’s parent company informed on Friday that the agreement will result in a cessation of offshore services on October 1, 2016, and the unit mobilizing inshore for expected cold stacking thereafter. The unit was operating for Total under a dayrate of $166,000. Further, the company said, Total will pay an early termination fee of approximately $22.1 million in addition to payment for services provided until October 1, 2016.
The oil company hired the Borgsten Dolphin back in 2011 to undertake tender support services at the Dunbar platform in the Northern North Sea. In June 2015, Total and Dolphin amended the contract to cover a revised contract period starting October 1, 2015, and continuing to January 31, 2018.

Independent Oil & Gas (IOG), a company working to develop its Skipper oil discovery in the UK sector of the North Sea, has shared mixed results of its first operated appraisal well there. The appraisal well was completed and, IOG says, it achieved its primary objective of retrieving oil samples from the Skipper reservoir in order to optimize the Skipper field development plan. However, while the drilling of the appraisal well proved oil, the first sample results indicate that the oil is approximately 11° API and has a significantly higher viscosity than expected, IOG said.
Crude oil with high viscosity (typically above 10 cp), and high specific gravity is considered heavy. The API classifies heavy oil as crudes with a gravity below 22.3° API. Heavy oils typically have low hydrogen-to-carbon ratios, high asphaltene, sulfur, nitrogen, and heavy-metal content, as well as higher acid numbers, and might be difficult to extract. This means IOG now needs to do more testing of samples and review its Skipper development options, which could take months to complete.
