5月11日，国际原油期货价格大幅上涨。油价上涨的主要原因是美国原油库存3月来首次减少，使加拿大和尼日利亚油田停产引发的供应担忧进一步加剧。EIA周三公布的数据显示，上周美国原油库存意外出现3月以来首次下降，汽油和馏分油库存降幅均大于预期，且进口量减少。具体数据显示，截至5月6日当周，美国原油库存减少341.0万桶，至5.3998亿桶，市场预估为增加71.4万桶。分析师表示，原油库存大幅减少可能是因为加拿大野火的关系，因为加拿大原油主要出口给美国。
数据显示，上周美国原油进口量减少5000桶/日。与此同时，截止上周，美国国内原油产量减少2.3万桶/日至880.2万桶/日，这是美国原油产量连续第9周出现下降，也给油价带来支撑。6月交货的WTI原油期货上涨1.57美元/桶，收盘价报每桶46.23美元；7月交货的布伦特原油期货上涨2.08美元/桶，收盘价报每桶47.6美元。布伦特与WTI价差为1.37美元/桶，较前一日扩大0.51美元/桶。布伦特与迪拜价差为4.01美元/桶，较前一日扩大1.09美元/桶。
Cluff Natural Resources（CNR）仅仅花费1英镑收购了北海油田的三处区块的开发执照。
CNR公司表示，它已经与Parkmead Group石油公司达成了北海中央以及马里湾油田开发执照的收购协议。
CNR公司与Verus Petroleum共同购入三处油气区块执照的股权。
CNR目前拥有包含Fynn和Penny勘探执照在内的马里湾外的UKCS执照P1944和P2156，拥有5％的非经营性权益。
在一份声明中该公司表示，最近两次的勘探位置位于先前发现的大量的重质油下面。
首席执行官Algy Cluff说：“这些优质资产的获得，通常需要Parkmead备受推崇的经营者、有吸引力的地质情况、近期的钻探机会和附近的基础设施，它们为在北海区域建成一个崭新的英国石油与天然气公司提供了最理想的基础。”
“我们相信，北海区域成本较低的钻井环境，为我们提供了一个很好的机会来建立和推进勘探和评价资产的大幅投资组合，我们期望它在不久的将来流行起来。”
“我们期待着与Parkmead以及我们新的合作伙伴合作，一起来全面评估这些令人兴奋的资产的生产潜力，它们的勘探成功对公司而言具有真正变革性的意义。”
在该选择下，公司已经又被授予了两个独家选项，包括增加拥有执照P1944和P2156的股权份额至25％，并获得执照P2082在北海中央25％的权益，包括Skerryvore勘探执照在内。

Cluff Natural Resources (CNR) has purchased a stake in a trio of licences in the North Sea for just £1.
The company said it has struck a sales and purchase agreement with The Parkmead Group operated licences in the Central North Sea and Moray Firth.
The deal is with Versus Petroleum for the acquisition of the company’s equity in the three traditional oil and gas licences.
CNR will now have a 5% non-operated interest in UKCS licences P1944 and P2156 in the outer Moray Firth which contain the Fynn and Penny Prospects.
In a statement the company said the two later prospects are located below a “significant volume” of previously discovered heavy oil.
Chief executive Algy Cluff said: “The acquisition of these high quality assets which come with a highly regarded operator in Parkmead, attractive geology, near term drilling opportunities and nearby infrastructure, provide the ideal cornerstone for building a significant new UK oil and gas company focussed on the North Sea.
“We believe the lower cost drilling environment in the North Sea, which we expect to prevail for the foreseeable future, provides us with an excellent opportunity to build and advance a substantial portfolio of exploration and appraisal assets.
“We look forward to working with Parkmead and our new partners to fully appraise the production potential of these exciting assets where exploration success on either would be truly transformational for the Company.”
Under the option, the company has been granted two exclusive options including increasing its equity position in licences P1944 and P2156 TO 25% and acquiring a 25% interest in licence P2082 in the Central North Sea containing the Skerryvore exploration prospect.

据总部位于的黎波里的国家石油公司，负责利比亚大部分石油出口的油田将被迫在一个月内停产，除非Marsa el-Hariga港口解除封锁。
“在不到四周的时间，我们将不得不完全关闭生产因为Hariga的油罐即将充满，”国家石油公司NOC的一名发言人Mohamed Harari说。
“港口封锁会引起严重的损害，几乎带不来效益。”
控制北非国家的东部的一派，在他们独立地投标出售原油货物被联合国阻止并列入黑名单后，于4月30号强制封锁港口。
生产商上周表示，随着Fayez al Serraj领导的联合国支持的西方政府和东部对手间紧张局势的升温，阿拉伯海湾石油公司的石油，主要经由Hariga海港运输，产量已经从每天24万桶下降到9万桶。
NOC东部分公司周一表示，它不打算从该港口发货。
Harari说，从Hariga港口的石油出口占全国总出口量的四分之三，如果油田都关闭后，央行款项将会枯竭，第纳尔（货币单位）将会受到影响。
自从2011年下台的独裁者穆阿迈尔•卡扎菲争夺拥有非洲最大的原油探明储量的国家石油设施的控制权，利比亚的石油输出已下跌大约80％。
Harari说，流向Hariga港口的许多油田的原油一般高含蜡，并且如果它不流动的话将在输油管道里凝固，造成永久性的产量损失。根据船舶的跟踪数据，油轮Seachance在被禁止从港口出口100万桶原油后，停泊在海岸。
NOC主席Mustafa Sanalla在声明中说，“为我们国家的幸福而开放港口，团结是唯一的解决办法。”

FFields responsible for the bulk of Libya’s oil exports will be forced to halt production within a month unless a blockade is lifted on the port of Marsa el-Hariga, according to the Tripoli-based National Oil Corp.
“In less than four weeks we will have to shut production completely because the tanks at Hariga will be full,” Mohamed Harari, a spokesman for NOC, said.
“The blockade will cause serious harm and bring no benefits.”
Factions controlling the east of the North African nation imposed the port blockade on April 30 after their bid to sell a crude cargo independently of Tripoli was stymied as the United Nations blacklisted the shipment.
With rising tensions between the UN-backed western-based government of national unity led by Fayez al Serraj and rivals in the east, oil production by Arabian Gulf Oil Co., which ships crude through Hariga, has dropped to 90,000 barrels a day from 240,000 barrels, the producer said last week.
The eastern branch of NOC said on Monday that it had no plans to block shipments from the port.
Oil exports from Hariga account for three-quarters of the country’s total, Harari said, adding that payments to the central bank will dry up and the dinar will be affected if the fields are shut down.
Output from Libya has slumped about 80 percent since the 2011 ouster of dictator Muammar Al Qaddafi as different groups compete for control of oil facilities in the nation with Africa’s largest proven crude reserves.
Oil flowing from some of the fields to Hariga is high in wax and will solidify in the pipelines if it doesn’t move, causing permanent production loss, Harari said. The tanker Seachance is moored off the coast, according to ship tracking data, after being prevented from exporting 1 million barrels of crude from the terminal.
“Open the ports for the wellbeing of our country,” NOC Chairman Mustafa Sanalla said in the statement. “Unity is the only solution.”

STAVANGER, Norway -- Maersk Training has signed a global framework agreement with Statoil to provide drilling simulation training for the next three years with an option to extend for an additional two years.
Statoil identified a need for advanced drilling simulation training and theory courses in order to reduce the time used for training offshore and to increase safety, operational understanding and efficiency. The courses are aimed at improving
communication within and between teams, and they provide the opportunity to practice
difficult operations in a safe environment without impacting live operations.
Maersk Training and its partners Oiltec and eDrilling will leverage a portfolio of
well-specific cases and events to challenge and develop Statoil employees. There will
be a strong focus on best practice for team training and procedural discipline. This
will help the drilling and well teams detect issues earlier and be able to react to,
or potentially recover from, critical events in the safest and most efficient way.
“Our global presence and state-of-the-art facilities, which include fully immersive
simulators to make training as close to reality as possible, means we can provide
high-quality learning in a cost-effective manner. We are convinced that this focus
will further improve Statoil’s operational efficiency and cut non-productive time,”
Claus Bihl, CEO of Maersk Training, said.
Training will primarily take place in Stavanger, Norway, but Maersk Training
facilities in Aberdeen, Houston, Rio de Janeiro and Dubai are also setup to
accommodate the needs of Statoil.

Offshore Energy Today has learned that the rig is expected to leave Pusan and go to its offshore drilling location, some 150 miles further around May 13.
The rig will be used by Inpex in a location offshore Yamaguchi and Shimane prefectures where in 2011, the Japanese government conducted a geophysical survey from the seismic survey vessel Shigen as part of its domestic oil and natural gas exploration project, and where INPEX conducted a 3D geophysical survey in 2013 based on the earlier survey.
The aim of the project, should it unearth viable quantities of hydrocarbons, is to decrease Japan’s dependence on energy imports.

LONDON -- Noble Corp. has reached an agreement with Freeport-McMoRan Oil & Gas in connection with the drillingcontracts for the drillships Noble Sam Croft and Noble Tom Madden, which were scheduled to terminate in July and November 2017, respectively.
Pursuant to the agreement, the contracts will be terminated, with operations ceasing as soon as practicable, and Freeport will make a payment to Noble of $540 million. In addition, Noble can receive additional contingent payments from Freeport of $25 million and $50 million, respectively, depending upon the average price of oil over a 12-month period. Noble also expects to realize over $100 million in direct cost savings as a result of the contract terminations through crew reductions and stacking procedures.
Freeport recently announced a restructuring of its oil and gas business, which is operated through FMOG. As disclosed in Freeport's public filings, FMOG has substantial debt and has been negatively impacted by the crash in oil prices.
"This agreement represents a favorable resolution for Noble shareholders," said David W. Williams, chairman, president and CEO, Noble Corporation. "By accelerating the contract value and removing counterparty risk and potential downtime exposure over the remaining term of the contracts, Noble will be able to secure the economic benefit of these contracts, particularly when factoring in the significant cost savings.

These fields will be offered under a revenue-sharing model, where the contractor will share a part of the revenue with the government as soon as the production begins.
Last year, state explorers Oil and Natural Gas Corp Ltd and Oil India Ltd had surrendered 69 fields with about 89 million tonnes of hydrocarbon resources.

为了降低成本，Maersk石油公司计划在丹麦、挪威和苏格兰进一步裁员。该公司表示，尽管在过去18个月已经显著减少财政投入，大约40个职位仍将受到影响。
因为该决定，在Copehnagen, Stavanger 和Aberdeen工作的人员将离开。首席执行官Jakob Thomasen表示，此举在低油价环境令人深感遗憾，但是必要的。
他说：“今天的变化对确保我们的组织反映当前市场和将花费分配到我们活动上来说是必要的。我们必须继续在Maersk石油严峻的市场行情现实和增长议程方面找到平衡点。”
在过去的12个月内，Maersk石油已经减少了它的勘探活动以便进一步将注意力集中在企业并购和收购的机会上。
与2015年的1.62亿美元相比，该公司公布了今年第一季度的勘探成本5700万美元，仅占去年的65%。

Maersk Oil is set to make further job losses in Denmark, Norway and Scotland as it looks to reduce its costs.
The company said around 40 positions will be affected by the move which come despite significant financial reductions over the last 18 months.
Roles in Copehnagen, Stavanger and Aberdeen will go as a result of the decision.
Chief executive Jakob Thomasen said the move was “deeply regrettable” but “necessary” in the low oil price environment.
He said: “Today’s changes are necessary to ensure our organisation reflects the current market and aligns our costs to our activities. We must continue to balance the realities of the tough market conditions with the growth agenda for Maersk Oil.”
Maersk Oil has already reduced its exploration activities over the past 12 months to focus further on merger and acquisition opportunities.
The company reported 65% lower exploration costs of $57million in the first quarter of the year compared with $162million for 2015.

武装分子越来越多地瞄准尼日利亚的石油设施，雪佛龙和壳牌公司的资产都在最近几天里受到袭击。
这些袭击针对能源供应，影响了生产和扰乱了供应，这作为反对总统穆罕马杜•布哈里政府运动的一部分。
在上周三一个海上平台遇袭后，雪佛龙公司被迫关闭了9万桶的原油日产量。
在另一起事件中壳牌被迫将生产设备Eja OML 79的大部分工作人员撤离。
当地媒体报道周末壳牌撤离员工是通过三架直升机将98名人员空运到安全地方。
“这是一些非常非常富有经验的无所顾忌的袭击，” 总部设在拉各斯的Ecobank Transnational公司能源研究部门主管Dolapo Oni说。“这是战斗的复苏。这些家伙似乎不是为了钱，他们只是想给政府制造麻烦。”
在布哈里总统发誓要铲除腐败和盗油以后，尼日利亚国内出现了新的一轮针对石油设施的袭击。
他们参与了2006年至2009年间自称为解放尼日尔河三角洲而发起的运动，这耗费了尼日利亚政府数十亿美元的原油收益。
在成千上万的战士因为总统Umaru Musa Yar’Adua故去获得了特赦和缴械后，暴力减少了很多，他们以此来换取政府某些情况下的月度赔偿。
雪佛龙公司表示，当被身份不明的人破坏后，它关闭了Okan海上设施，并提供“资金来回应发生的溢油事件。”
周五，雪佛龙表示，它的每天3.5万桶净产量受到了影响。
向Escravos提供原油和天然气的Okan是尼日利亚国内最大的出口基地之一，由雪佛龙公司和国营尼日利亚国家石油公司合资共有。其中雪佛龙公司占40％的股份，国营尼日利亚国家石油公司拥有剩下的股份。
一个自称“尼日尔三角洲复仇者”的武装组织在它的网站上说，它对这次袭击负责。
尼日利亚政府也在努力遏制能源价格下跌带来的经济损失，隔离开在该国北部的由博科圣地伊斯兰教主义者叛乱引起的袭击。
该国的外汇储备已经下降到少于270亿美元，这是自2005年以来的最低水平。
国际货币基金组织IMF预计，今年经济增长2.3％，这是自1999年以来最低的增长率。
在向Forcados终端输送的管道袭击后，该管道通常每天出口大约20万桶，今年二月，壳牌宣布不可抗力的一个法律条文，允许其停止发货而不违反合同。
国际能源署IEA上月估计，当在Forcados的维修完成，到五月份尼日利亚估计能损失掉大约十亿美元的收益。4月20日尼日利亚石油部长Emmanuel Kachikwu说，终端可能直到六月份才能重新启动。
统治了尼日利亚石油行业五十年，像壳牌、雪佛龙、道达尔、埃尼和康菲的这些大公司，目前一直在致力于把尼日尔三角洲的陆上和浅水域油田卖给当地公司，而把他们的投资集中在远离武装分子控制的深水油田。
“如果价格维持低位，我们将看到包括这些破坏攻击在内的越来越多的问题，” Ul-Haq说。

Militants are increasingly targeting oil facilities in Nigeria with both Chevron and Shell assets coming under attack in recent days.
The attacks are hitting production and disrupting supplies as insurgents target energy supplies as part of a campaign against the Government of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Chevron was forced to shut down 90,000 barrels a day of output following an attack on an offshore platform last Wednesday.
In a separate attack Shell was forced to evacuate most of its staff from the production facility, Eja OML 79 at the weekend.
Local media reported the Shell evacuation was carried out by three helicopters at the weekend which saw 98 personnel airlifted to safety.
“This is some very, very sophisticated brazen attack,” said Dolapo Oni, the Lagos-based head of energy research at Ecobank Transnational. “It is a resurgence of militancy. These guys don’t seem to be after money. They just want to frustrate the government.”
The fresh round of attacks come after President Buhari vowed to stamp out corruption and oil theft.
They echo a campaign waged by the self-proclaimed Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta between 2006 and 2009, which cost the Nigerian government billions of dollars of lost oil revenue.
That violence abated after thousands of fighters accepted an amnesty from late-President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua and disarmed, in exchange for monthly payments from the government in some cases.
Chevron said it shut down its Okan offshore facility after it was “breached by unknown persons” and had sent “resources to respond to a resulting spill.”
On Friday, Chevron said 35,000 barrels a day of its own net production was affected.
Okan, which feeds crude and gas into Escravos, one of the country’s largest export facilities, is jointly owned by Chevron, with a 40% stake, and state-owned Nigeria National Petroleum Corp, which has the rest.
A group calling itself the Niger Delta Avengers said on its website that it was responsible for the attack.
The Nigerian government is also struggling to contain the economic damage of the slump in energy prices and separate attacks in the north of the country by the Boko Haram Islamist insurgency.
The country’s foreign reserves have fallen to less than $27 billion, the lowest since 2005.
The International Monetary Fund expects the economy to expand 2.3 percent this year, the weakest growth since 1999.
In February, Shell declared force majeure – a legal clause that allows it to stop shipments without breaching contracts – after an attack on a pipeline feeding the Forcados terminal, which typically exports about 200,000 barrels a day.
The International Energy Agency estimated last month that Nigeria could lose an estimated $1 billion in revenue by May, when it expects repairs on Forcados to be completed. The terminal may not restart until June, Nigerian Oil Minister Emmanuel Kachikwu said April 20.
Major oil companies like Shell, Chevron, Total, Eni and ConocoPhillips, which for five decades dominated the Nigerian oil industry, have been selling onshore and shallow water oil fields in the Niger delta to local companies, concentrating their investments in deep-water fields outside the reach of militants.
“If prices remain low, we will see more and more problems including these kind of sabotage attacks,” said Ul-Haq.

彭博社消息 --- 由于当今石油市场形势严峻，巴西国有石油公司Petrobras的偿债费用陡增，因此Petrobras提前从中国进出口银行（Export-Import Bank of China）获得10亿美元的贷款。
Petroleo Brasileiro SA正与中国进出口银行协商签订定本合同，而这项贷款本定于2017年完成，Petrobras称这十亿美元贷款是丰富自身融资渠道的战略之一
Petrobras曾深陷巴西最大的腐败调查案件（Carwash），现在由于油价大跌，巴西经济衰退，Petrobras对中国贷款方的依赖加强。而中国则对石油丰富的国家投资，以保证国内能源供应。
二月份，Petrobras从中国国家开发银行（China Development Bank Corp.）贷款100亿美元，这也是中国原油供应交易的一部分。石油圈原创www.oilsns.com

Brazil's state-controlled oil company Petrobras is seeking a $1 billion loan from the Export-Import Bank of China before originally planned as its debt service costs surge in the coming years amid the worst oil market in a generation.
(Bloomberg) - Brazil’s state-controlled oil company Petrobras is seeking a $1 billion loan from the Export-Import Bank of China before originally planned as its debt service costs surge in the coming years amid the worst oil market in a generation.
Petroleo Brasileiro SA, as it is formally known, is negotiating a definitive contract with the Chinese lender after signing a term sheet, the Rio de Janeiro-based producer said Monday in a filing. The financing is tied to equipment and service contracts from Chinese suppliers, and was originally planned for 2017, it said.
The oil producer, which has been mired in Brazil’s biggest corruption investigation known as Carwash, has been leaning more heavily on Chinese lenders recently at a time ratings downgrades, the rout in oil prices, and Brazil’s recession have led to higher borrowing costs in international debt markets. China has invested in oil-rich nations to ensure supplies to the world’s second-biggest crude market after the U.S., and similar deals have helped Venezuela fund its ballooning debt.
In February, Petrobras secured a $10 billion loan from China Development Bank Corp. that is part of a deal to supply crude to the Asian country. The $1 billion loan announced Monday is part of Petrobras’ strategy of diversifying its financing sources, it said.
