Egyptian power plants' consumption of natural gas increased to a daily 3.75bn ft³ (106mn m³) this week, from 3.4bn ft³/d last week, because of the demand for extra air cooling resulting from high temperatures.Egas has agreed with the electricity ministry to provide 3.9bn ft³/d (110.5mn m³/d) at peak this August to run the power plants, the source said, adding that Egas is regasifying 1.2bn ft³/d of LNG at Ain Sokhna on the Red Sea, while a pipe from Aqaba in Jordan is running at its maximum of 0.1bn ft³/d. Local Egyptian gas production has been 4.05bn ft³/d (115mn m³/d) since end-July but much of that is required for household, industrial and vehicle use. The source said that gas supplies to heavy industry would be maintained throughout the summer.
In June, Egypt began tendering for a third floating LNG import terminal (FSRU) at Ain Sokhna to go alongside its existing two there – the first chartered from Hoegh LNG started up in April 2015, the other from BW Gas began operations six months later, both are under five-year charters to Egas. Meanwhile in other news, Reuters on August 10 said Egypt has approved five offshore Mediterranean exploration licences: with BP, Eni, Total, EDF-owned Edison, and local firm Trident.

Dutch-based provider of floating production systems to the international offshore oil and gas industry, SBM Offshore, will lay off at least another 250 employees amid market downturn. SBM Offshore said on Wednesday that, as a result of the ongoing review of the company’s cost structure due to the continued market downturn, the workforce reduction is now expected to amount to at least 650 positions worldwide over the course of 2016 as a result of the 2016 restructuring plan.
The company started its restructuring plan at the end of 2014 which, according to SBM, allowed the Turnkey segment to remain at breakeven during the first half of 2016 and to lower overheads costs by 29% during the period. The company had planned to cut around 400 jobs this year, but increased that number to at least 650 on Wednesday. As a result of the restructuring plan, the expected annualized savings are anticipated to reach at least $70 million.
SBM also said that additional cost savings will be targeted through various means, including a 10% voluntary cut in fixed income for the next twelve months by the members of the Management Board and the Executive Committee. In addition, the Management Board and the Executive Committee will reduce their potential 2016 short-term cash incentive by 50%.
The Dutch FPSO provider also on Wednesday announced the appointment of D.H.M. Wood as its new Chief Financial Officer (CFO).Wood has worked at Royal Dutch Shell plc since 1993 in various financial and management positions; most recently as CFO of Showa Shell Sekiyu K.K. in Japan.

Austria’s integrated oil and gas company OMV is reducing its exposure to North Sea/Atlantic basin projects that it deems too expensive in today’s oil prices, said CEO Rainer Seele at a quarterly results press conference. Instead it will focus on lower-cost regions such as the Middle East and Russia.
The company took a hit from the UK Rosebank asset of over $530mn following the sale of a 30% stake to Canadian Suncor at a price that showed a ‘clear reduction’ of its book value.
OMV reported a pre-tax 2Q loss of €300mn compared with a profit of €22mn in Q2 2015; however after stripping out exceptional items and using the current cost of supplies it made a profit of €214mn, compared with last year’s €375mn.
OMV is expecting the oil price to remain at $40/b for the rest of the year, refining margins to come under more pressure but European gas prices to rise slightly. But the company is hoping for a cold winter and the replacement of more coal with gas in the power sector to mop up some of the oversupply.

The European Commission (EC) said August 10 it has now allocated €187.5mn for the construction of Balticconnector, the first Estonia-Finland subsea gas pipeline, and has allocated €29.9mn to build a 140-km electricity line between Dobrudja and Burgas in Bulgaria. The two grants were already announced as having been approved by the EC on July 15.Balticconnector’s project director Matti Sainio told Natural Gas Europe July 15 that the final investment decision was expected this autumn.The EU grants correspond to 75% of Balticconnector’s cost and 50% of those of the Bulgarian line.
EU energy and climate change commissioner Miguel Arias Canete said that Balticconnector would be “part of a chain of projects that will end the gas isolation of northeastern Europe and develop the Baltic regional energy market," while the Bulgaria line would “reinforce security of electricity supply and integrate renewable energy into the electricity market.”
