美国能源信息局近期公布的原油数据显示，上周美国全国的商业原油库存大幅下降1450万桶至5.114亿桶，不同于市场原本预期的小幅上涨，推动当天油价大涨。市场分析人士认为，上周美国商业原油库存大幅下降主要是因为墨西哥湾的热带风暴影响了美国原油进口及部分生产商的原油产量，这些短期因素影响消退后，国际油价涨势能否延续仍有待进一步观察。截至当日收盘时，纽约商品交易所10月交货的轻质原油期货价格上涨2.12美元，收于每桶47.62美元，涨幅为4.7%。10月交货的伦敦布伦特原油期货价格上涨2.01美元，收于每桶49.99美元，涨幅为4.0%。（9月9日消息）

石油巨头ConocoPhillips选择提前取消与Rowan 公司签订的 “Rowan Gorilla VI”号自升式钻井平台合同。
“Rowan Gorilla VI”号是美国LeTourneau公司设计的Super Gorilla级别的钻井平台，平台建造于2000年，桩腿长607英尺，最大作业水深为400英尺。该平台目前正在挪威海域为ConocoPhillips服役，合同本于2018年3月到期。
一家专注本国油气行业的挪威语网站报道称：“Rowan Gorilla VI”号在挪威海域Ekofisk油田的堵井和弃井作业一经完成，ConocoPhillips将立刻终止该平台合同。这一举措将使Rowan公司在挪威地区的作业平台的数量减少至1座，仅剩目前为Lundin公司服役的“Rowan Viking”号平台。该网站还称：合同提前终止将导致多少员工失业，目前尚不清楚。

Oil major ConocoPhillips has reportedly opted for an early cancellation of a drilling contract with Rowan Companies for its jack-up drilling rig Rowan Gorilla VI.
The Rowan Gorilla VI is a LeTourneau Technologies Super Gorilla Class rig built in 2000. With a leg length of 607 ft, the rig is capable of operating in a maximum water depth of 400 ft. Rowan’s jack-up rig drilling rig is working for ConocoPhillips offshore Norway under a dayrate of $362,000. The rig’s original contract was set to expire in March 2018.
According to a Norwegian-language website covering the country’s offshore oil and gas industry, ConocoPhillips decided to terminate the contract for the rig once the jack-up completes the plugging and abandonment operations at the Ekofisk field, offshore Norway. This will bring the number of Rowan rigs working in Norway to only one, the Rowan Viking which operates for Lundin. The Norwegian news website also stated that it is yet unknown how many workers will lose their jobs because of the termination.

总部位于德克萨斯州米德兰盆地的油气合营公司Charger Shale Oil Company近日宣布其已与Oaktree Capital Management, L.P.在Permian盆地成立合资企业。Oaktree的初始股权承诺为6亿美元，后来又增加了3亿美元。
出资之前，Charger获得了Delaware盆地4万英亩的土地。而后，Charger就开始完善开发方案，将区块面积扩大到8.5万英亩。一旦得到全面开发，该合资公司就将对100多口水平井实施作业。
Charger的几位公司高管曾经在Tall City Exploration任职。TCE收购并开发了3.45万英亩的核心区块，耗资2.45亿美元。TCE在2014及2015年以12亿美元的价格出售了这些资产。TCE使用先进的地质、物理及工程技术可将勘探的风险降到最低，同时力图实现增值的目标。

Charger Shale Oil Company, an oil and gas partnership headquartered in Midland, Texas, and funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management, L.P., today announced their recently formed joint venture focused in the Permian basin. Oaktree has pledged $600 million in an initial equity commitment with an additional $300 million runway commitment.
Prior to funding, Charger secured more than 40,000 acres in the Delaware basin using capital sourced from management and key strategic investors. Charger has since closed on the initial acreage and has development plans to expand to over 85,000 acres. At full development, the partnership is targeting over 100 horizontal well locations across multiple horizons.
Charger is led by several key executives previously employed by Tall City Exploration (“TCE”). TCE acquired and developed more than 34,500 core acres (and another 48,000 prospective acres) utilizing $245 million of capital. TCE sold these assets for $1.2 billion in two transactions in 2014 and 2015. TCE’s use of advanced geological, petrophysical and engineering techniques to mitigate the risk of exploring beyond the traditional core boundary of the Wolfcamp play in the Midland basin made this increase in value possible.

近日Apache在德克萨斯州的里夫斯县的Alpine High发现了重大油田。此次油田的发现经过了两年大范围的地质勘探作业。该区的天然气储量约为75万亿立方英尺，石油储量约为30亿桶。
为了促进Alpine High区的钻探与开发，Apache已将其2016年的预算从18亿美元增加到20亿美元。上述资本开支还仅仅是Apache总资本支出的25%。Apache是为数不多的增加预算的生产商之一，其他较弱的竞争对手都已相继破产。
Apache在该区拥有19口油井，由于基础设施的限制，只有9口正在进行生产作业，包括Woodford的6口以及Barnett、shallower Wolfcamp和Bone Springs的各1口。

Apache has had a major oil discovery, the Alpine High, in Reeves County, Texas. This comes after more than two years of extensive geologic and geophysical work, methodical acreage accumulation, and strategic testing and delineation drilling. The company estimates hydrocarbons in place on its acreage position are 75 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of rich gas (more than 1,300 BTUs) and 3 billion barrels of oil in the Barnett and Woodford formations alone.
To accelerate the delineation and development of the Alpine High play, Apache has raised its 2016 budget to $2 billion from $1.8 billion. Capital spending on the Alpine High play in 2016 will represent more than 25 percent of Apache's total capital spending program. Apache is one of a dozen or so shale producers to raise their budget, while other weaker competitors have fallen into bankruptcy, according to Reuters.
Apache has drilled 19 wells in the play, with nine currently producing in limited quantities due to infrastructure constraints. This includes six wells in the Woodford, one well in the Barnett and one well each in the shallower Wolfcamp and Bone Springs oil formations.

Condor Petroleum Inc. (TSX: CPI) is pleased to announce that the Shoba Production Contract has been executed with the Government of Kazakhstan, which provides for commercial production at the Company's 100% owned Shoba oilfield. Production is expected to re-commence at Shoba during September at rates exceeding 500 barrels per day. The Taskuduk Production Contract is expected to be signed shortly and will provide for additional commercial production at the Company's 100% owned Taskuduk oilfield in Kazakhstan.
The Poyraz 5 well was recently spudded at the Company's 100% owned Poyraz Ridge production license in Turkey. Surface casing has been set at 346 meters and drilling the main hole section is underway. The well is expected to reach total depth in September. The Poyraz Ridge drilling program is designed to extend the gas reserve areas, fully penetrate and evaluate the fractured carbonate productive intervals and determine whether a gas-water contact is present in the trap closure area. Along with providing additional production capacity, the wells are intended to increase the Company's reserves.

Kosmos总裁Andrew Inglis表示：公司可能在2018年对计划中的非洲西北部浮式液化天然气项目进行最终投资决定。9月7日，在纽约召开的巴克莱银行能源动力投资者会议上，Andrew Inglis表示Kosmos计划建设浮式液化天然气项目，以毛里塔尼亚沿岸的Tortue气田为基础。公司认为该项目未开发区域的生产潜力可能大于已开发区域。迄今，Tortue气田天然气储量为25万亿立方米，该项目将开发Tortue气田西侧（Kosmos在此地首个成功的天然气发现，共5个）的8万亿立方米。六月，毛里塔尼亚及塞内加尔政府同意将两国海洋中线沿岸8公里外用作该项目用地。Andrew Inglis表示：两国有望于2016年末达成政府间协议。

Kosmos’ CEO has said that a final investment decision (FID) on its planned floating LNG project off northwest Africa will probably be taken in 2018.Andrew Inglis told the Barclays Energy Power investors conference September 7 in New York that plans to develop the FLNG project, based on the Tortue gas field offshore Mauritania. “We see as much, probably larger, potential in the unexplored prospectivity that we are uncovering today, as we have in the discovered resource,” Inglis told investors. To date, the Tortue gas resource is put at 25 trillion ft³ gross, of which the initial FLNG project would tap into the 8 trillion ft³ found at ‘Tortue West’ -- the first of five successful gas discoveries made by Kosmos in the area.A site 8 km from shore on the Mauritania-Senegal offshore median line was agreed in June by the two governments for the FLNG project. Inglis said both are on target to reach an intergovernmental agreement for the project by end-2016.

Turkey has awarded Russian gas exporter Gazprom the first permits it requires for the development of the 31.5bn m³/yr Turkish Stream gas pipeline via Turkey, Gazprom announced late September 7. According to the statement Gazprom has received the permits "through appropriate diplomatic channels" following a meeting last week between Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller and Turkish energy minister Berat Albayrak. “The issuance of first permits is good news for Gazprom. This move of the Turkish side reflects the interest of Turkey's government in the Turkish Stream project and marks the transition to its practical implementation," Gazprom said.The main part of the offshore section of the line running through Turkey's Black Sea EEZ was previously approved under Gazprom's now abandoned project for a 63bn m³/yr South Stream pipeline across the Black Sea and through Bulgaria.Gazprom last year completed an environmental impact assessment (EIA) report for the offshore and landfall sections of the new Turkish Stream project which was submitted to Turkey's environment ministry for vetting.
