State oil giant Saudi Aramco has extended bidding for dredging and reclamation work at its marine terminal in Ras Al-Khair by almost one month. The extension, pushing out the submission date to September 29 from August 31, was given after potential bidders asked for more time to prepare offers, the sources said.The project is the first phase of a huge ship repair and shipbuilding complex in the east of the country seen as key in the kingdom's economic transformation plan. Two sources said the infrastructure would be developed by Aramco before the project as a whole was handed over to the joint venture. Saudi Aramco has said it expects the complex, which is projected to create 80,000 jobs and allow Saudi Arabia to reduce its imports by $12 billion as well as increase gross domestic product by $17 billion, will be fully operational by 2021.Under a sweeping economic reform programme announced recently, Aramco is to play a big role in developing industrial projects as Saudi Arabia tries to diversify its economy beyond reliance on oil exports.

Russian President Vladimir Putin last week said that the Turkish Stream gas pipeline would be built eventually. Just a few days later, on Thursday, Russian energy giant Gazprom said it received through diplomatic channels the first permits for the TurkStream project from the authorities of the Turkish Republic.
To remind, the project was stopped last year after Turkey shot down Russian warplane for violating its airspace. Worth noting, Alexey Miller, Gazprom Chairman, and Berat Albayrak, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources of Turkey, last week at a meeting in Istanbul reached the agreement to shortly complete all the required preparatory procedures for launching the TurkStream project.
Once constructed, the pipeline will run 660 kilometers along the old route of South Stream and cover 250 kilometers of a new route toward the European part of Turkey. It is planned that the first gas pipeline string will be used exclusively for gas supplies to the Turkish market.

Automation specialist Emerson has secured work on world’s largest offshore facility ever built, the Prelude FLNG facility, operated by Shell.
Shell has selected Emerson to provide automation maintenance services for Shell’s floating LNG facility, currently under construction in South Korea. Prelude is the world’s largest floating production facility, so big, it is compared to a size of six aircraft carriers. Once delivered in South Korea, it will process natural gas collected from subsea wells 475 kilometers (almost 300 miles) offshore from Broome, Western Australia.
Emerson is not a newcomer to the project, as it has been main automation contractor on the Prelude project since 2010, responsible for process control and monitoring technologies. Under the new multi-year support contract, Emerson experts working both onshore and offshore will provide ongoing reliability and maintenance services for a broader range of equipment.

Aminex, the oil and gas producing company with assets in East Africa, announces that it will maintain its 54.575% interest in the Kiliwani North Development Licence ('KNDL') in Tanzania, which the Company operates. Under the terms of a sale and purchase agreement with Solo Oil plc ('Solo Oil') announced in April 2016, the Company had agreed to dispose of a 1.25% interest in the KNDL which was the second tranche payment. The terms for the third and final tranche, which is the payment of US$892,712 for an additional 1.575% interest payable within 15 days of the commercial operations date being declared, remain in effect.
Aminex CEO Jay Bhattacherjee commented:'The recently completed capital raise has afforded the Company the ability to maintain its current interest. The Kiliwani North-1 well is performing well and maintaining a higher interest in the licence allows us to retain more of the revenues generated from the project and strengthen our balance sheet. The Company remains focused on the upcoming multi well appraisal and development drilling programme in the Ruvuma Basin, for which it is fully funded.'
Devon Energy Corp. (NYSE: DVN) announced today it has successfully tested its third Meramec spacing pilot and commenced production on two high-rate, extended-reach lateral oil wells in the core of the over-pressured oil window of the STACK.
The Pump House spacing pilot tested a seven-well pattern across a single-section interval in the upper Meramec. Initial 15-day production rates averaged 2,200 oil-equivalent barrels (Boe) per day per well (55 percent oil) and cost $6 million per well. The Pump House wells were drilled with 4,700-foot laterals and utilized a completion design that deployed 2,200 pounds of proppant per lateral foot across 35 frac stages with perf clusters spaced 25 feet apart. To manage pressure and maximize value, these wells were brought online using an engineered choke management approach starting at a 14/64-inch choke and gradually increasing to a 26/64-inch choke over the initial 15-day period.
The Pump House wells are located in Kingfisher County adjacent to the Born Free pilot and three miles north of the Alma pilot. Production from the two-well Born Free pilot (announced first-quarter 2016) continues to perform exceptionally well, averaging a 120-day rate of 1,400 Boe per day per well. The five-well Alma pilot has achieved a 60-day average rate of 1,300 Boe per day on a per well basis.

周二，加拿大管道公司（Enbridge）表示：公司将以大约280美元（约合370亿欧元）全股票方式收购总部位于休斯顿的美国天然气运输及存储公司（ Spectra Energy Corp）。此次收购将使Enbridge成为北美最大的能源基础设施公司。该收购表明管道公司处于兼并压力之下，原因为公司产能过剩及关税下调带来的股息增速放慢及投资者动摇。本交易是Enbridge目前规模最大的收购，将使Enbridge仅次于能源巨擘金德摩根公司（Kinder Morgan）及平原全美输油管道公司（PLAINS ALL AMERICAN PIPELINE）。近两年，后两家公司皆因油气生产商削减新井钻探开支股价下降。

Canada's Enbridge said on Tuesday it would buy Spectra Energy Corp of Houston in an all-stock deal valued at about $28 billion (C$37 billion) to create the largest North American energy infrastructure company. The takeover highlights how pipeline companies are under pressure to merge as they grapple with overcapacity and sliding tariffs that have slowed dividend growth and unnerved investors. Enbridge's biggest-ever deal will consolidate its leading position next to US transport giants Kinder Morgan and Plains All American Pipeline, which have seen their stock prices sink over the last two years as oil and gas producers slash spending on new wells.

Saudi Basic Industries Corp (Sabic) has agreed to sell its Polymershapes unit to US investment firm Blackfriars Corp, Sabic said without giving a value for the deal. The deal is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of this year, Sabic said, adding that the unit was a non-core business and its divestment would not affect SABIC's distribution of other products or have a substantial impact on its finances.The unit is the world's largest distributor of plastic sheet, rod, tube and film, serving over 35,000 customers with a distribution network of more than 75 branches in the US, Canada, Mexico and Chile, according to a 2013 statement by Sabic. Although Polymershapes is profitable, owning it is no longer in line with Sabic's plan to strengthen its business by 2025, Tuesday's statement quoted acting chief executive Yousef Al-Benyan as saying.
