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.

Independent oil and gas group Parkmead has increased its stake in the Perth and Dolphin oil fields in the UK Central North Sea. The Perth and Dolphin fields are located across Blocks 15/21a, b, c and f & 14/25a in Licences P.218, P.588 and P.2154. Through this growth step, Parkmead has increased its equity in these licenses to 60.05%.
The Perth and Dolphin fields, which are both operated by Parkmead, are at the core of Parkmead’s major Perth-Dolphin-Lowlander (PDL) oil hub project. They are located in the prolific Moray Firth area of the UK Central North Sea, which contains oil fields such as Piper, Claymore, and Tartan.
Perth and Dolphin are two sizeable Upper Jurassic Claymore sandstone accumulations that have tested 32-38o API oil at production rates of up to 6,000 bopd per well. As a result of this latest move, Parkmead has increased the group’s total proved and probable (2P) reserves by 19% from 23.5 to 27.9 million barrels of oil equivalent. Tom Cross, Executive Chairman, commented: “This growth step strengthens Parkmead’s asset base in the center of the Company’s major PDL oil hub project, which is one of the largest undeveloped oil projects in the North Sea.”

Finland’s first LNG import terminal at Pori on the west coast was officially opened September 12.Gasum said deliveries to customers began on the same day; the terminal’s operator Skangas is 51% owned by Finnish gas supplier Gasum.Two months ago the terminal received its first cargo of LNG, from Zeebrugge in Belgium. However, the significance of September 12 was that it marked the end of Pori’s commissioning period, with project manager Neste Jacobs successfully completing engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM) for Skangas LNG import terminal during the years 2014 to 2016. The terminal cost over €80mn ($90mn) to build, of which €23mn came from the Finnish government. “Pori LNG terminal will develop and diversify the Finnish energy market,” said Gasum CEO Johanna Lamminen.

Statoil has awarded Kraemer Maritime a contract to supply provisions for the company’s installations on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
The estimated contract value is around NOK 230 million ($28 million) per year. The deal will take effect on Jan. 1, 2017.
The contract period is four years with an option for three two-year extensions. The supplies include food, cleaning products, kiosk merchandise, disposables and other related products and services.
“This delivery is crucial to our offshore employees. Kraemer Maritime has won the contract in fierce competition with both Norwegian and international suppliers. It will be exciting to cooperate with a new supplier with long maritime trade experience,” Hilde Halsteinslid, V.P. for the catering & administration unit in Statoil, said.
Output from Egypt’s Nooros field has reached 128,000 boed (700 MMcfgd) just 13 months after its discovery, Eni said in a statement announcing the production landmark.
The field is currently producing from seven wells; however, with the drilling of additional wells, the field is expected to reach its maximum production capacity of about 160,000 boed in the spring of 2017.
"This record-setting production represents an important milestone achieved just 13 months after the discovery and ahead of schedule thanks to the success of the last exploration wells drilled in the area of ??Nidoco and the drilling of new development wells," Eni said in a statement.
Nooros field, in the Nile Delta offshore, was discovered in July 2015 and brought on-stream that September.
Anadarko Petroleum Corp. agreed to buy Gulf of Mexico oil assets from Freeport-McMoRan Inc. for $2 billion and said it will use revenue generated by the offshore wells to develop its U.S. oil fields on land.
The deal doubles Anadarko’s existing stake in oil wells in the deepwater Lucius development to approximately 49%, adding the equivalent of about 80,000 net bopd, the producer said Monday in a statement. The acquisition will generate $3 billion of additional free cash flow over the next five years that will help boost production in West Texas’ Delaware basin and the DJ basin centered in Colorado, Anadarko said.
The purchase is another sign that U.S. drillers that have survived two years of upheaval in oil prices are returning to deal-making. EOG Resources Inc. last week announced a $2.5-billion purchase to expand in the Delaware, one of the hottest areas for acquisitions. The next day, Apache Corp. said it had quietly amassed 350,000 acres in the region where it had found “massive" new quantities of oil and natural gas.
The Gulf acquisition “is a catalyst for the company’s oil-growth objectives, with quality assets being acquired at an attractive price to create significant value," Anadarko CEO Al Walker said in the statement.

The European Commission (EC) said September 12 it has awarded €9.2mn from the EU’s European Regional Development Fund to improve gas transport links between Poland and Germany.The project co-funded involves the construction of two gas transfer pipelines in the Polish districts of Dolnoslaskie, Lasow-Jeleniów and Galow-Kielczow. The expansion of the PGNiG-owned 1.2bn m³ Wierzchowice underground gas storage (UGS) facility, Poland’s largest, is also being financed. The project will increase the capacity of pipelines importing gas from Germany through Lasow. Ontras, a subsidiary of VNG, is the gas grid operator on the eastern German side, while state-owned Gaz System is the operator on the Polish side. The 59 km of newly-built pipelines will help optimise gas flows into Poland and cover the demand for gas in an area of 3mn inhabitants, especially during winter, said the EC.
