Abu Dhabi plans to merge two of its largest sovereign investments funds as the sheikhdom pursues consolidation in the financial-services industry after the slump in oil prices.
A combination of International Petroleum Investment Co. and Mubadala Development Company PJSC would pool assets of about $135 billion and debt of about $42 billion, according to Bloomberg calculations. The emirate will create a committee to oversee the merger that includes U.A.E. Deputy Prime Minister Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, according to a statement on the state-run WAM news agency.
It’s the second merger of significance to be announced in two weeks after National Bank of Abu Dhabi PJSC and First Gulf Bank PJSC confirmed plans to pursue a combination on June 19. The emirate is grappling with declining oil prices and said that a deal between the two investment funds would bring cost savings and growth in areas such as financial services, health care, technology and aerospace, according to the statement.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (EIA) -- Stripper wells, or wells that produce small volumes, represent an important but decreasing share of total U.S. oil and natural gas production. These wells are characterized as producing no more than 15 boed over a 12-month period. EIA estimates that there were about 380,000 stripper oil wells in the U.S. operating at the end of 2015, compared to about 90,000 non-stripper oil wells.
Wells become stripper wells through the normal decline of producing wells, some of which may have at one time been very prolific. These wells usually have low ongoing maintenance costs and relatively low transportation costs to move their products to distribution systems. As long as these wells are economically feasible, they are kept active and may continue to produce for many years.
The well counts in this analysis include oil wells that may also produce some natural gas. Wells producing less than 6,000 cubic feet of natural gas per barrel of oil are considered oil wells, while wells producing 6,000 cubic feet or more of natural gas per barrel of oil are considered gas wells. Stripper gas wells produce no more than 90,000 cubic feet per day of natural gas over 12 months.
Despite each stripper well's small individual production, their large number ensures a significant contribution to total oil production. The production share of oil stripper wells has fallen from a high of 19% in 2008 to an estimated 10% in 2015. This decrease in share reflects the large increase of production volume from very prolific wells drilled in shaleand tight oil formations with enhanced completion techniques. These wells, as well as non-shale onshore and offshore wells in Alaska, the Gulf of Mexico, and other areas, produce at a much higher rate than stripper wells, and thus account for a much larger percentage of total U.S. oil production.

ASKER, Norway -- TGS has announced the commencement of the Northwest Shelf Renaissance 2D seismic survey offshore northwest Australia. The survey consists of approximately 8,000 km of long offset, broadband 2D seismic data as well as magnetic and gravity data.
The survey is designed to provide enhanced imaging through to the deeper stratigraphic section of the Dampier, Beagle and Bedout sub-basins and Exmouth Plateau where TGS has been granted permits to operate from the Australian authorities.
"This new long offset 2D survey will tie recent and deep wells with TGS's existing 3D coverage in the Exmouth Plateau, Carnarvon basin,” Kristian Johansen, CEO of TGS, said. “In addition, this modern 2D survey traverses the proposed 2016 Australian Offshore Petroleum Exploration Acreage Release areas, which are expected to be released in July 2016."
This TGS survey is being undertaken in co-operation with BGP.
