为延长天然气使用期限，Christchurch市将在Burwood垃圾堆填区重新钻10口天然气井。
该垃圾堆填区所产天然气为Christchurch市市政大楼和美术馆供电、供暖及制冷，每年可节约700,000美元。目前，该区域共有22口井，但是其中一些气井由于天然气被采尽，停止作业。
Christchurch市政府官员Grant Gillard表示： Burwood堆填区于2008年开始生产天然气，预计还可供应天然气5年。政府曾计划在2011年重新钻井，但是由于Christchurch市2010年9月和2011年2月发生地震，钻井计划推迟，地震对该天然气项目造成的危害不大。石油圈原创www.oilsns.com
Burwood堆填区的一半区域还未被钻井，如果在该区域钻井，有可能会发现天然气。现在，政府将重新钻10口气井，并把这些气井并入管道网中，该项目预计花费约300,000美元。

Ten new gas wells will be drilled in Christchurch's Burwood Landfill, in a bid to extend the life of the gas project.
The gas from the landfill provides power, heating and cooling to the Christchurch Civic Building and the Art Gallery, at a saving of around $700,000 a year.
There are currently 22 wells at the landfill, but several of those have started to fail as the gas is used up.
Christchurch City Council's landfill aftercare officer Grant Gillard said new wells were meant to be drilled in 2011, but were delayed due to the September 2010 and February 2011 earthquakes.
"In the next month of two we are planning on drilling 10 more and hooking those up to the network, just to continue supply for the next few years, until the landfill runs out of gas. It is a very old landfill, but hopefully we can get out as much gas as we can."
"Looking here, half the landfill hasn't even been touched by wells," said Mr Gillard. "When we get over there we may find there is actually quite a lot of gas there, we might not."
The site operated as a landfill from 1984 to 2005, and has been used for gas since 2008 when there were 10 wells.
Mr Gillard said the earthquakes did little damage to the gas project, except having to repair some pipes into the central city, and re-route the gas which previously went to heat the QEII pool and sports centre in North Brighton. The QEII sports centre was demolished after suffering damage in the quakes.
Mr Gillard said the landfill should continue to supply gas for at least five more years, but they couldn't be sure of the supply until they started tapping into it.
The new wells will cost around $300,000 to install.

HOUSTON -- Packers Plus Energy Services Inc. has announced the successful completions of multiple wells in North Dakota’s Bakken formation, using advanced high frac intensity systems, specifically designed for extended reach wells. The completions were made possible by continued advances in ball-drop completion technology using the field proven StackFRAC HD (high density) system.
The systems were installed for a large independent operator in November and stimulated in late March and early April. Both used advanced seat port activation design along with proprietary anti-erosion coating to achieve a 100% success rate for ball launch, ball seat and sleeve shift. All port activation events were confirmed by the ePLUS Retina Monitoring System. The first well was completed in 50 hours and the second well in 52 hours of pump time. A total of 4.9 MMlb of proppant and 69,886 bbl of fluid and 5 MMlb and 73,600 bbl of fluid, respectively, were used.
“We worked closely with the operator to achieve these successes and are very pleased that these completions were executed flawlessly. This is a testament to versatility of the StackFRAC HD system, which has a proven track record of reducing time, cost and water usage while maximizing productivity, and to the engineering and manufacturing capabilities of Packers Plus,” said Packers Plus President Ian Bryant. “At a time when well economics are a challenge, these developments are good news for Bakken operators.”

HOUSTON (Bloomberg) -- Halliburton Co. said it’s booking a $2.1-billion expense in the first quarter for cutting jobs and writing off assets, giving some results early and delaying the full earnings release as it strives to wrap up a takeover of rival Baker Hughes Inc.
The world’s largest provider of fracing services is postponing its full earnings report to May 3 from April 25 because of the deadline to complete the deal with Baker Hughes by the end of this month, the company said Friday in a statement.
Halliburton, which announced the takeover in November 2014 in a deal now worth about $25 billion to better compete against industry leader Schlumberger Ltd., is facing a Justice Department lawsuit to stop the merger on concern it will harm competition.
Oilfield service providers were the first to feel the pain when crude prices began falling in the middle of 2014. Of the more than 250,000 jobs cut globally in the energy industry during the downturn, service providers continue to be the most heavily impacted after customers slashed more than $100 billion in spending last year, with promises of more cuts to come.
The industry is going through an unprecedented downturn with a “full-scale cash crisis,” Schlumberger CEO Paal Kibsgaard said Thursday.
Shares of Halliburton were little changed in after-hours trading after closing 1.3% higher at $40.84.

PARIS -- CGG GeoSoftware has released VelPro 9.5, a velocity modeling and depth conversion commercial softwaretechnology used by interpreters and velocity modeling experts to integrate seismic and well velocity information, horizons, faults, and well tops into robust and data-driven velocity models.
As well as intuitive velocity model building, VelPro offers workflows for pore pressure prediction. Here, results including mud-weight curves are shown using the Eaton method.
VelPro models complement the workflows of geophysical interpretationsoftware applications, and are utilized in domain conversions. This enables oil company asset teams to create highly accurate depth representations of the subsurface. Users can also better understand and mitigate drilling risk using the VelPro Pore Pressure Prediction workflow, which employs either the Eaton or Eaton-Bowers method to compute entire volumes of pore pressure from velocity volumes.
VelPro 9.5 licensing integrates with the full GeoSoftware portfolio, making it easier for clients to install and use it in combination with other GeoSoftware products. As an example, VelPro 9.5 reads and writes data from the GeoSoftware well database and compiles journal entries. Users can interactively switch displayed well data and tops between standard well datums with Well Data Editor, resulting in an improved user experience. VelPro maintains third-party formats and therefore works well within a client’s existing software environment.
“As the latest addition to our GeoSoftware family, VelPro’s robust and easy-to-use capabilities help interpreters and depth conversion experts build high-quality and accurate models in record time,” Joe Jacquot, strategic marketing manager, CGG GeoSoftware, said.

ConocoPhillips Alaska Inc. plans to drill additional wells and add associated on-pad infrastructure to boost production at its CD5 drill site in Alpine field in the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska (NPR-A).
The additions, funding of which has been approved, will bring CD5 to its full design and permit capacity. Project work will begin this year, with the start of production from this next phase of drilling expected in third-quarter 2017. The new wells and infrastructure will be completed within the existing CD5 drill site footprint.
The CD5 pad is designed to accommodate 33 wells. The original development funding was for 15 wells, 10 of which have been completed. The cost of the project is estimated at $190 million, which includes construction, drilling, and well tie-ins. The company expects CD5 to meet its production target of 16,000 boe/d gross average for the year.
“The competitiveness of this next phase of CD5 drilling was improved due to the investment climate resulting from the passage of SB21,” said Joe Marushack, ConocoPhillips Alaska president. “We want to continue to invest in production-adding projects like this.”
The drill site, which began producing oil in October 2015, is the first commercial oil development on Alaska Native lands within the boundaries of the NPR-A (OGJ Online, Oct. 28, 2015).
The company says it’s also advancing development of Greater Mooses Tooth No. 1 (GMT1) in the NPR-A (OGJ Online, Nov. 19, 2015). Production is expected to begin in late 2018 with an anticipated peak rate of 30,000 b/d gross of oil.
Long lead materials are being ordered and detailed engineering is under way. The company is also pursuing permitting of another field in NPR-A, Greater Mooses Tooth No. 2 (GMT2), and is drilling three exploration wells this winter on the North Slope.
CD5 is part of the Colville River Unit operated by ConocoPhillips Alaska with 78% interest. A subsidiary of Anadarko Petroleum Corp. holds the remaining 22%. The Greater Mooses Tooth Unit is also ConocoPhillips 78% and Anadarko 22%.

April 22 (Reuters) - Halliburton Co said on Friday that it cut more than 6,000 jobs in the first quarter, during which revenue slumped 40.4 percent and it took a $2.1 billion restructuring charge mainly for asset write-offs and severance costs.
The No.2 oilfield services provider also said it would now hold its earnings conference call on May 3, instead of April 25, to accommodate the April 30 deadline for its acquisition of Baker Hughes Inc.
Halliburton's "operational update" was issued in a statement after the market closed on Friday. The company is scheduled to report first-quarter results on Monday, April 25.
Halliburton and Baker Hughes have set a deadline of April 30 to close the deal, which will help close the gap on market leader Schlumberger Ltd. But, the merger, which was announced in 2014, faces stiff regulatory hurdles.
The U.S. Justice Department filed a lawsuit this month to block the deal, citing competition worries. European Union antitrust regulators could make its objections to the deal known to Halliburton next week, Reuters reported on Wednesday, citing sources.
The deal between the two companies was in part to help them weather the current oil price downturn, which started in 2014, and its aftermath. Since 2014, Halliburton has reduced its headcount by about a third and reduced costs drastically.
"Life has changed in the energy industry, especially in North America, and over the past several quarters we have taken the steps to adapt to that fact," Chief Executive Dave Lesar said.
The company said it expected spending on drilling and completion services to fall 50 percent in North America this year, following a 40 percent decline last year. It expects global spending to drop 30 percent for the second straight year.
Halliburton said its revenue dropped to $4.2 billion in the quarter ended March 31 from $7.05 billion a year earlier.

WEST PERTH -- Otto Energy Ltd has announced that it has been advised by Operator Byron Energy, that the SM-71 #1 well, located at the South Marsh Island Block 71, has completed drilling to the final target measured depth of 6,843 ft (2,086 m) or 6,477 ft (1,974 m) TVD.
During drilling a number of discrete hydrocarbon bearing sands have been intersected and preliminary evaluation completed using Logging While Drilling (LWD) tools. The following hydrocarbon indications have been observed to date:
I3 Sand - a hydrocarbon saturated gross sand thickness of approximately 20 ft (6 m)
J Sand - a hydrocarbon saturated gross sand thickness of approximately 30 ft (9 m)
D5 sand - a hydrocarbon saturated gross sand thickness of approximately 100 ft (3 m)
Indications of oil were seen on cuttings from the D5 sand interval and all hydrocarbon bearing zones demonstrated elevated wet gas readings.
Based on preliminary interpretation of these results it appears that a significant proportion of these hydrocarbon bearing sands will result in net hydrocarbon pay, however net pay counts cannot be determined until a porosity log is run and may be determined to be less than the gross sand amounts reported here.
The D5 Sand, which was the primary target of this well, exhibits excellent quality, is within the range of predrill expectations, and confirms the RTM technology used to delineate the prospect. The J Sand, which was a secondary target, was found within predrill expectations and was intersected 220 ft (67 m) up-dip of the highest productive well in the J Sand interval. The I3 sand interval does not appear to have been produced in offset wells on SM 71.
Current operation is to run in to the hole with a bit to address excess wall-cake build up and verify the hole's condition prior to running porosity logs. Whilst drilling to total depth below the D5 Sand, a pressure transition was intersected which required an increase in mud weight to control the well. The higher mud weight suppressed gas ingress, but will require additional conditioning of the wellbore.
The preliminary results from these three discrete hydrocarbon intervals are considered of commercial value to warrant the completion and ultimate production of the well. This will be done by running a 7 5/8' production liner and suspension of the well for future production. The joint venture will now move forward with development planning and has already initiated discussions with an offset operator to cost effectively produce the hydrocarbons from this well.

(Bloomberg) -- Schlumberger Ltd. cut another 2,000 jobs in the first quarter as the world’s largest provider of oilfield services sees the industry in a full-scale crisis.
The reduction sent the company’s global headcount down to about 93,000 at the end of the first quarter, Joao Felix, a spokesman for the company, said by e-mail.
“The decline in global activity and the rate of activity disruption reached unprecedented levels as the industry displayed clear signs of operating in a full-scale cash crisis,” Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Paal Kibsgaard said in an earnings report Thursday.
Profit fell as the company adjusts to shrinking margins in North America during the worst crude market crash in a generation.
First-quarter profit declined to $501 million, or 40 cents a share, from $975 million, or 76 cents, a year earlier, the Houston- and Paris-based company said in a statement Thursday. The profit was 1 cent more than the 39-cent average of 37 analysts’ estimates compiled by Bloomberg.

OKLAHOMA CITY -- American Energy-Woodford, LLC, has announced that, effective March 25, 2016, the company changed its name to White Star Petroleum, LLC. As originally intended and previously announced by White Star's sponsor, The Energy and Minerals Group (EMG), White Star will complete its transition to a standalone company, fully independent of the American Energy Partners, LP (AELP) platform, during the second quarter of 2016. On February 26, 2016, as a critical step of the separation, the board of managers appointed Elliot J. Chambers as CEO, in addition to his role as chief financial officer, and promoted Joseph D. Craig to chief operating officer from his previous role as V.P. of operations.
Chambers commented, "We are pleased to announce the transition of White Star to a separate, standalone company. This separation has been a strategic objective of our business since the company was founded in 2013, and we look forward to bringing it to fruition as quickly as possible during the second quarter. We appreciate the support and guidance that we have received from EMG, and the assistance the AELP platform has provided since our formation."
White Star also announced today it has signed a definitive agreement to purchase certain Mississippi Lime and Woodford Shale assets from Devon Energy Corp. for $200 million. The acquired assets include approximately 210,000 largely contiguous net acres, which immediately offset White Star's acreage in Central Northern Oklahoma. The acquired acreage is primarily located in Payne, Lincoln, Logan and Garfield Counties in Oklahoma, with most of the position held by production. Net production from the acquired assets in the first quarter of 2016 averaged 12,800 boed, from approximately 555 operated and non-operated Mississippi Lime and Woodford Shale horizontal wells.

MELBOURNE, April 22 (Reuters) - Australia's Santos Ltd reported a 1 percent rise in first quarter revenue as it stepped up coal seam gas sales to its Gladstone liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant, offsetting a collapse in oil and gas prices.
Sales volumes in the March quarter rocketed 40 percent to 21.3 million barrels of oil equivalent (mmboe).
Revenue inched up to A$835 million from A$825 million in the period a year earlier, roughly in line with a forecast from RBC, as its average realised price fell 28 percent.
Train 1 at Gladstone LNG, which shipped its first cargo last October, produced at an annual rate of 3.8 million tonnes a year in the March quarter, and Santos said it expects to begin producing LNG from the second unit at Gladstone this quarter.
Santos' chief executive, Kevin Gallagher, who took the reins in February, days after the company's shares hit a 23-year low, said he remained focused on how to position the company to withstand weak oil prices.
"We will continue to look for opportunities to lift productivity and reduce costs to drive long-term value for shareholders," he said in a statement.
The company reaffirmed it expects to sell between 76 and 83 mmboe this year.
Shares in Santos have jumped more than 80 percent in recent months following a recovery in oil prices and are currently at a near six-month high at A$4.63.

HAMMERFEST, Norway, April 20 (Reuters) - Oil firm Statoil is looking to a rebound in exploration activity offshore Norway in the next few years with a focus on the Arctic, having curbed activity due to the oil price slump, the firm's exploration chief for Norway told Reuters.
Exploration activity in the coming years is crucial to secure Statoil's future production in its home base, which faces a decline from current levels after 2025 if mature fields are not replaced by new resources. It can take up to 15 years from discovery to a field to come on stream.
Asked whether a drop in exploration levels in Norway this year would be permanent, Jez Averty, Statoil's head of exploration for Britain and Norway said: "We believe that it is lower (this year) than in the years to come."
"We're looking to the 23rd round to trigger an uptick in activity for us," he said on the sidelines of an oil conference.
The so-called 23rd round is an Arctic-focused oil licensing round, set to open unexplored acreage in the Barents Sea in the Arctic, closer to the country's border with Russia. The awards are expected to be announced before July.
"This gives us the opportunity to chase larger discoveries, all be it at a higher geological risk," Averty said, adding that such discoveries were absolutely necessary if Statoil is to preserve production at today's levels until 2030.
Around half of the undiscovered resources offshore Norway lie in the Barents Sea. But a 62 percent drop in crude prices since mid-2014 has put a break on activities in the Arctic, where it is more costly to develop projects, mainly due to the lack of infrastructure.
"We have struggled to commercialize the discoveries that have been made (in the Barents Sea)," Averty said.
On Tuesday Statoil presented a new set of technologies tailored for the Barents Sea, known as Cap-X, designed to reduce costs and increase the efficiency of subsea developments.
"One of the accusations that has been used against opening up the Barents recently is that it will never be economic. This (Cap-X) is very important in ensuring that it can be economic," Averty said.
However, not everyone sees the same possibilities as Statoil. Shell withdrew its application from the 23rd licensing round earlier this month, while other majors such as ExxonMobil, Eni and Total did not apply, partly because they are searching for larger discoveries in other parts of the world.
"We have to bet on the business opportunities which give quicker revenues than a discovery in the Barents Sea," Shell's head of activities in Norway told the conference on Tuesday.
