Vallianz has announced that it has secured new charter contracts worth up to $210m, bringing its order book to a record-high $1.2bn.
The group has clinched long term charter contracts for the supply of 13 offshore support vessels to a national oil company in the Middle East for a period of up to seven years from the second half of 2016.
“With the addition of these new charter contracts in the Middle East, we have further strengthened our order book and improved the group’s future revenue visibility. Vallianz will continue to reinforce our superior market position in the Middle East where offshore oil and gas projects remain active. We are presently bidding for charter contracts with a combined value of $1.5 billion, mainly for projects located in the Middle East,” said Ling Yong Wah, ceo of Vallianz.
WASHINGTON, May 13 (Reuters) - Republican presidential contender Donald Trump has turned to one of America's most ardent drilling advocates and climate change skeptics to help him draft his energy policy.
The New York billionaire has asked U.S. Republican Congressman Kevin Cramer of North Dakota - a major oil drilling state - to write a white paper on energy policy, Cramer and sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.
Cramer and some other Trump energy advisers also recently met with lawmakers from western energy states, who hope Trump will open more federal land for drilling.
Cramer said his paper would emphasize the dangers of foreign ownership of U.S. energy assets, burdensome taxes, and over-regulation.
A spokeswoman for Trump's campaign did not comment.

AWE公司和日本Mitsui公司有意向联合竞购Origin Energy公司旗下Perth Basin天然气资产的股权。石油圈原创www.oilsns.com
据Australian Financial Review (AFR)报道，最终中标者将在三周以后确定。Transerv Energy公司和Quadrant Energy公司也有意向参与此次竞购。Origin官方网站公布的消息显示：Perth Basin资产包括Beharra Springs天然气田的生产股份和Waitsia项目的部分股权。AWE与Origin共同持有Waitsia项目50%的股份。
去年九月，Origin表示：为减轻公司债务负担，减少对Australia Pacific LNG拨款的依赖，Origin计划降低2016财政年度和2017财政年度的股利，进一步减少资本支出，并出售非核心资产。AWE曾与Mitsui在新西兰Tui石油项目中共同合作。2013年10月，Mitsui将Tui项目中35%的股份出售给AWE、New Zealand Oil & Gas公司和Pan Pacific Petroleum公司。

AWE and Japan’s Mitsui together are reportedly interested in bidding for Origin Energy’s stake in Perth Basin gas assets.
According to Australian Financial Review (AFR), final bids are due in three weeks for Origin's stake. Transerv Energy has already confirmed its interest in sale process.
AFR revealed that Quadrant Energy is also participating in the auction.
Accoring to Origin’s website, the Perth Basin assets include a stake in the producing Beharra Springs gas field as well as an interest in the Waitsia project. AWE already hold 50 percent stake in the Waitsia project along with Origin.
In September last year, Origin stated that in order to lower debt, strengthen the balance sheet and reduce reliance on distributions from Australia Pacific LNG, it plans to reduce the company’s dividend for FY2016 and FY2017, make further reductions in capital expenditure and sell non-core assets.
AWE and Mitsui have worked together earlier as well. The two were partners in New Zealand's producing Tui oil project. In October 2013, Mitsui sold its 35 percent stake in the project to AWE, New Zealand Oil & Gas and Pan Pacific Petroleum.

Superior Drilling Products和Drilling Tools International签署Drill-N-Ream井筒调节系统的销售协议
[collapse title=英文原文请点击]
VERNAL, Utah and HOUSTON -- Superior Drilling Products (SDP) and Drilling Tools International (DTI) have announced a distribution agreement, which establishes DTI as the exclusive distributor of SDP’s patented Drill-N-Ream well bore conditioning system in the North American onshore and offshore markets, excluding the Rocky Mountain region.
The Drill-N-Ream is a unique reaming assembly technology that both widens and conditions the well bore during the drilling process, eliminating the requirement for a dedicated reaming run.
“This partnership with DTI provides our Drill-N-Ream and the Superior Drilling Products brand exceptionally larger exposure throughout North America, especially in regions in which we have little market presence,” Troy Meier, chairman and CEO of SDP, said.
Wayne Prejean, president and CEO of DTI, added, “We expect our customers to adopt the Drill-N-Ream technology quickly and that it will be a successful addition to our product and service offerings. We have seen how well this bore hole conditioning system operates. It immediately addresses our customers’ requirements to reduce the cost of hydrocarbon extraction.”
In exchange for the distribution rights, DTI has agreed to purchase a minimum operating fleet of Drill-N-Ream tools in 2016. DTI’s exclusive rights to provide the Drill-N-Ream to customers in the distribution territory are dependent upon achievement of certain sales objectives. The agreement is a multi-year agreement and will remain in effect subject to the performance targets being met during the term of the agreement.

TULSA, Oklahoma -- Reliance Oilfield Services has announced the execution of a definitive acquisition agreement where Reliance will acquire assets within FMC Technologies’ wireline services business in Canada and the U.S. Specific financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Reliance intends to offer employment to most of the employees within the business.
According to Austin Roberts, president and CEO of Reliance Oilfield Services, the acquisition complements the company’s existing operations and puts Reliance in some of the most attractive oil and gas basins in North America.
“This is a compelling transaction because it is aligned with our company’s vision to have the highest caliber teams in each of our operating areas,” said Roberts. “We’re building our company on great people, and that’s what this deal is really about.
“In addition, through our valued partnership with Edge Natural Resources (a Dallas-based private equity firm), we are able to retain a healthy balance sheet and position ourselves to take advantage of a difficult time in the industry.”
Roberts also expressed excitement that Brad Gabel, under whose leadership much of FMC Technologies’ legacy wireline business was built, is joining Reliance as executive chairman of the board.
“FMC Technologies’ highly experienced wireline management team that is joining Reliance brings excellent relationships with both operational staff and customers,” said Gabel. “I’m enthusiastic about the opportunity to have the expanded Reliance team to provide a platform to meet our customers’ current needs and grow as market conditions improve.”
The acquisition is expected to be completed during the second quarter of 2016.

Shell has shut in production at its Brutus platform in the US Gulf of Mexico following a 2100-barrel spill near the Glider field.
The leak has been isolated, and no injuries have been reported, Shell said.
The spill was discovered at around 7:55 am local time on Thursday when a Shell helicopter spotted a sheen near Green Canyon Block 248, home of the Glider field.
Glider, which is produced through four wells and a subsea manifold, is one of the fields tied in to the Brutus tension-leg platform in Green Canyon 158.
The TLP is moored in 2900 feet of water.
The cause of the spill is believed to be a release of oil from subsea infrastructure, a Shell spokeswoman said.
"Shell is determining the exact cause of the release by inspecting the subsea equipment and flowlines in the Glider field," Shell said.
"There are no drilling activities at Brutus, and this is not a well control incident."
The spill created a sheen measuring two miles by 13 miles, about 97 miles south of Port Fourchon, Louisiana, according to the US Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE).
A BSEE inspector conducted a flyover of the area and is currently on location at the platform. BSEE will lead the incident investigation and the US Coast Guard will lead in monitoring response efforts.
A Coast Guard aircrew also conducted a flyover assessment of the spill.
Shell said it is working with the Coast Guard and the National Oceanic Atmospheric Association "to define the best approach to contain and clean up the sheen".
"No release is acceptable, and safety remains our priority as we respond to this incident."
Brutus came online in 2001 with a nameplate capacity of 100,000 barrels of oil and 150 million cubic feet of gas per day.
Capacity was increased to 130,000 bpd a year later after the TLP was shut down due to valve failures in the production processing system.
The TLP's current production was not immediately known, but is thought to be below capacity.

EXETER, United Kingdom -- AnTech has launched three new products within its best-in-class Wellhead Outlet range.
The Type-C Wellhead Outlet, which was designed and developed by the company for use in hazardous environments, has been on the market since 2013 and has achieved success due to its safe and simple installation, created in compliance with API 6A, ATEX and NACE standards.
In response to the product’s success and customer feedback, AnTech has launched two further outlets, namely: Types CB and CC. Each adaptation has been carefully designed to suit various working environments including pressure, ranging from 10,000 psi to 15,000 psi, temperatures from -60°C to +160°C, whilst meeting ever-tightening budget constraints.
The Type CB and CC Wellhead Outlets provide solutions to the demands of high technical specifications and the rippling effect of the low oil price. Driven by customer feedback from key clients, the company has designed, tested and manufactured both variations to AnTech’s high standards. Both options meet API 6A and NACE certification and have been designed for applications in North America, Africa and Europe.
With the increasing demands for more data and distributed measurements, there has been a growth in the use of fiber optic cables for permanent monitoring. These solutions are only as good as the connections at surface and AnTech’s Type FC outlet has been designed specifically to meet this demand whilst maintaining the highest safety standards at a cost-effective price.
In order to meet a lower price point, AnTech has reviewed its current material costs and utilized new manufacturing processes, including 3D printing. As a result, the new Type FC outlet incorporates a 3D printed smart system for handling and storing up to four fibers. The unit is suitable for operating in some of the world’s most stringent wellsite environments, as it is certified to both API 6A and NACE, additionally it can hold pressures of up to 10,000 psi.
“We have realized that we not only need to meet today’s demands but also look towards the future," AnTech Managing Director Toni Miszewski said. "With the current low oil price, customers are demanding our high certified products but at a lower price point. After considerable research and development, we are pleased to announce three new lower cost options, which result in a wider choice within our product lines.”

ABU DHABI, May 12 (Reuters) - Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) said on Thursday it had reshuffled its leadership, in the first major shakeup since the appointment of Sultan Al Jaber as its chief executive in February.
ADNOC named Abdulaziz Abdulla Alhajri as director of its refining and petrochemicals division and Omar Suwaina Al Suwaidi as director of its gas division, it said in a statement.
The firm also appointed new chief executives for six of its 18 operating units, including Adco and Adma-Opco, the joint ventures responsible for most of the emirate's oil production.
The appointments are all promotions from within ADNOC's ranks, following the retirement of two executives.
"These new appointments reflect our commitment to strengthening and advancing our company by promoting talent from within," Al Jaber said in an emailed statement.
"They will also play a fundamental role in executing our strategic imperatives of creating a more profitable upstream business and a more valuable downstream business, ensuring more gas supply, and developing world-class talent," he said.
ADNOC is currently in talks to award stakes in its 40-year onshore concession to develop the emirate's biggest oilfields, after a deal with Western oil companies dating back to the 1970s expired in January 2014.

HOUSTON -- Cheniere Energy’s board of directors has named Jack A. Fusco as the company’s new president and CEO, effective immediately. He succeeds Neal A. Shear, who has served as Cheniere's interim president and CEO since December 2015.
Most recently, Fusco served as CEO and a member of the board of directors of Calpine from August 2008 to May 2014 and as executive chairman from May 2014 through May 11, 2016. He was recruited by Calpine's key shareholders in 2008, just as that company was emerging from bankruptcy.
As CEO of Calpine, Fusco managed a team of approximately 2,300 employees and led one of the largest purchasers of natural gas in America. He will continue to serve as a director on the board of Calpine.
"Jack has spent over thirty years in the energy industry and has significant experience leading companies with large-scale, asset-intensive portfolios and implementing corporate strategies focused on capital allocation, strategic developments and optimizing shareholder value," said G. Andrea Botta, chairman of the board.
May 12 (Reuters) - Irish oil producer Petroceltic International Plc said a court examiner had selected its largest shareholder, Worldview Capital Management, to take control of the group.

The company was placed in examinership in March, a process under Irish law that is akin to Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the United States and administration in Britain.

“Today’s landmark highlights the important role DME plays in the oil markets of the Middle East and Asia, enabling transparency and fair crude oil prices for both producers and users. We have won customers’ trust around the globe and particularly in Asia by offering the most reliable regional oil price benchmark and a fully regulated trading environment,” said DME Chairman Ahmad Sharaf.
“Crude oil markets are increasingly volatile, which highlights the need for regulated risk management solutions, such as the DME Oman Crude Oil Futures contract,” he added.
