"They will wait for the guidance from the U.N.," Shetty told Reuters.
"They are now staying put ... no oil will be discharged even if the charterer wants them to. They will wait for the U.N. to tell us where the vessel will have to go."

CALGARY, Alberta (Bloomberg) -- Suncor Energy will have a majority stake in the Syncrude Canada oil sands mine after the Canadian petroleum producer bought an additional stake from Murphy Oil Corp.’s Canadian subsidiary.
Following the transaction worth almost C$1 billion ($794 million), Suncor will own 53.74% of the Syncrude operation, the company said Wednesday. The purchase follows Suncor’s takeover of Canadian Oil Sands Ltd., previously the largest shareholder of Syncrude.
Suncor succeeded in winning over resistant Canadian Oil Sands management and shareholders after sweetening its offer earlier this year, following a war of words between the companies over the fate of Syncrude. Suncor made two offers before a hostile bid in October and finally secured Canadian Oil Sands management’s green light for the takeover in January.

Schlumberger announced today it has entered into an agreement to acquire the coiled tubing drilling and coiled tubing units from Xtreme Drilling and Coil Services Corp. (TSX:XDC), a Calgary-based provider of international land drilling and coiled tubing drilling services. Xtreme currently owns a fleet of 11 coiled tubing units located in Saudi Arabia and the United States. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the third quarter.
With the addition of Xtreme's coiled tubing assets, we continue our pursuit of advancing overall drilling and well intervention efficiency through technology integration to help our customers improve production at a lower cost per barrel,' said Sherif Foda, president, Production Group, Schlumberger. 'The combination of our existing technology portfolio with Xtreme's proprietary technology will result in a step change in operational performance.'
Tom Wood, CEO, Xtreme, added, 'The purchase of Xtreme's industry leading, advanced AC-electric coiled tubing technology validates our long-term vision to develop the most automated and advanced coiled tubing system in the world. This complements Schlumberger's focus on operational efficiency and market expansion through automation and integration.'
The Schlumberger technology integration approach is evolving engineering of the drilling system from a simple combination of discrete services to optimized systems that are customized through extensive design and modeling capabilities for specific customer requirements. The addition of Xtreme's coiled tubing technology to the Schlumberger portfolio will be a key enabler for further advances in drilling efficiency, especially in challenging land-based environments.
Established in 2005, Xtreme operates in two segments, Drilling Services (XDR) and Coil Services (XSR).

[collapse title=英文原文请点击]Norway’s Statoil ASA and France-based Total S.A. both posted profits in the first quarter of this year, despite continued low oil prices.
Statoil’s adjusted earnings after tax amounted to $122 million in 1Q 2016, beating an average forecast from 12 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg which predicted a $125 million loss for the period. The Norwegian energy firm posted a loss of $1.5 billion in the previous quarter and a profit of $902 million in the first quarter of 2015.
In its first quarter results statement, Statoil said that its organic capital expenditures for 2016 are estimated at around $13 billion, down from $14.7 billion in 2015, with around $2 billion earmarked for exploration. Statoil also warned that it expects to deliver efficiency improvements with pre-tax cash flow effects of around $2.5 billion from this year.
Statoil delivered equity production of 2.05 million barrels of oil equivalent per day in 1Q 2016, which was roughly two percent higher compared to the first quarter last year. Higher production than expected in Norway helped Statoil’s profit beat expectations, according to a research note from Jefferies Group LLC.
The company’s equity production for 2016 is estimated to be lower than the 2015 level due to Statoil’s “value over volume-approach”. Scheduled maintenance activity is estimated to reduce quarterly production by approximately 55,000 boepd in the second quarter of 2016. In total, maintenance is estimated to reduce equity production by around 60,000 boepd for the full fiscal year 2016, which is higher than the 2015 impact.
公司能源业务的全球领先合作伙伴Richard Forrest在Dubai的一次采访中表示私人控股公司将是潜在的买家。石油和天然气交易的数量在2015年下降了37%，交易总额下跌2.5%至4690亿美元。比较有代表性的交易是Royal Dutch Shell Plc公司收购BG Group Plc公司以及Energy Transfer Equity LP收购 Williams Cos公司。今年交易数量将会增加但由于缺少大额交易总交易额将下降。

DUBAI (Bloomberg) -- Low oil prices will spur more mergers and acquisitions in the oil and gas industry this year with some companies forced to sell to avoid bankruptcy， according to consultants A.T. Kearney.
Private equity firms are probable buyers， Richard Forrest， global lead partner for the company’s energy practice， said in an interview in Dubai. The number of oil and gas transactions declined 37% in 2015 as their value fell 2.5% to $469 billion， led by Royal Dutch Shell Plc’s acquisition of BG Group Plc and Energy Transfer Equity LP’s purchase of Williams Cos. This year， the number of transactions will go up but the value will probably decline without any big deals， he said.
“There’s a lot of debt out there and that’s to some extent what is going to be the trigger of the wave of M&A deals，” Forrest said. The amount of debt held by oil and gas companies worldwide tripled to $3 trillion by 2014 compared from 2006， he said. “This year we expect a lot of distressed assets to become available.”
Crude prices have plunged almost 60% in the past two years， slashing profit at the largest oil companies and causing U.S. shale producers to scale back output. Bankruptcy filings among companies with publicly registered debt in the energy sector are starting to rise， according to Bloomberg Intelligence. Brent crude dropped 1.1% on Monday.
Energy-focused oil and gas private equity firms have about $38 billion to fund deals， according to A.T. Kearney. The largest oil companies will be more focused on selling assets than buying this year， while Middle East national oil companies are not likely to be active this year， according to the report.
Activity may pick up at the end of the year， driven by more stability and possibly higher crude prices， Forrest said. “It does support oil prices coming back and it gives investors the needed confidence to proceed with deals.”

U.S. oil and gas producer Hess saw it first quarter 2016 loss deepen to $509 million, down from a net loss of $389 million in the first quarter of 2015.
This means that the company posted a loss of $1.72 per common share, which is according to Reuters, a better result than expected by the analysts.
Hess said that lower realized selling prices reduced first quarter 2016 after-tax results by approximately $230 million resulting from the weak commodity price environment.
The Corporation’s average realized crude oil selling price was $28.50 per barrel in the first quarter of 2016, down from $45.08 per barrel in the year-ago quarter.
First quarter 2016 results also reflected lower operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and depreciation, depletion and amortization expense versus the prior-year quarter, the New York-based oil company added.
Exploration and production capex was $544 million for the quarter reflecting reduced activities in the United States, Norway, Equatorial Guinea and the Malaysia/Thailand Joint Development Area.
Net production in the first quarter of 2016 was 350,000 boepd compared to pro forma net production, which excludes assets sold, of 355,000 boepd in the first quarter of 2015.
