Another I/O change? Great.

So another wiring schedule.

Another marshalling design.

And another cabinet...

Just make it all go away!

YOU CAN DO THAT Electronic marshalling eliminates the rework, the redesign and the headaches.

With DeltaV Electronic Marshalling, Emerson lets you make I/O changes where and when you need them without costly engineering and schedule delays. Our new DeltaV CHARacterisation Module (CHARM) completely eliminates the cross-wiring from the marshalling panel to the I/O card – regardless of signal type – so you’re no longer held to predefined specifications. All those wires, gone. All that time and engineering, gone.

KIOGE 2012

This year’s event will focus attention on what is arguably the world’s most exciting multi-state energy province.

Editor’s note SAUDI ARABIA, HAS shown its mettle in recent years - just as disruption to other key suppliers has heightened anxiety levels among customers far and wide. After the shock of Libya’s civil war in 2011, and now the looming threat of a blockade in the Gulf amid rising tensions over Iran’s nuclear activities, the kingdom has played a vital stabilising role. At over US$100 per barrel crude oil is not cheap, consumers might say, but if Saudi’s state-owned energy giant Saudi Aramco had not stepped up to the plate in recent years it could well be a great deal more. Aramco is in a position to do this after completing a mighty project to upgrade its upstream production facilities throughout much of the past decade. It now holds a total capacity of 12.5 mn barrels per day (bpd). It has already shown its ability to respond quickly to events, such as the shutdown of much of Libya’s 1.7 mn bpd output last year, and the decline of Iranian oil exports this year as a result of tightening international sanctions. In 2011, Aramco’s daily crude oil production jumped to 9.1mn bpd, compared to 7.9 mn bpd the previous year. If anything, it has notched this up even higher this year. More than half of the Dhahran-based company’s exports are sent to markets in Asia, reflecting a gradual shift from West to East.

International oil companies have thrived and survived for years because of their uncanny ability to adapt to the business conditions of the age. Investing in new technology - from advanced drilling techniques through to more eco-friendly fuels forms a central plank of Aramco’s future growth vision, just as it does across the energy industry the world over. Aramco is gearing up for the decades ahead against what is a very uncertain and challenging social, economic and political global backdrop. With plans to tackle new frontier territories such as drilling the deep offshore Red Sea and venturing into more sophisticated downstream areas Aramco is embracing all new technologies that can help give it the edge.

Lamprell expands into Saudi with new JV LAMPRELL HAS SIGNED a deal to create a joint venture with Saudi's Shoaibi Group and Al Yusr Townsend and Bottum (AYTB) named Lamprell Arabia, that will help expand the company's operations in Saudi Arabia.

Lamprell Arabia will offer new build fabrication, refurbishment and repair of Saudi land rigs, ancillary fabrication for onshore assets and services on Saudi offshore rigs.

The new joint venture will be based in Al Khobar in the Eastern Provence and the aim being to open a local workshop in the recently built Shoaibi Group Oil and Gas Park, located in the Industrial Village zone in Dammam.

Nigel McCue, chief executive officer of Lamprell, said, "Saudi Arabia presents strong opportunities for Lamprell in the onshore rig market.

"As we continue to strengthen our core competencies, this agreement builds on the group’s existing business in the country, furthering our long-term relationships with the two companies and leveraging our expertise in land rig services."

The location for the new entity provides a great launching pad for Lamprell to enter the growing upstream market in Saudi, which is seeing growing demand for advanced drilling equipment and oilfield services.

There are an estimated 98 onshore drilling rigs in the country, said the company statement.

Lamprell has worked with both Saudi partners for the last 11 years and the new joint venture will help cement the strong working relationship.

"This joint venture builds on the strengths of the three companies to expand Lamprell’s operations in Saudi Arabia and will further reinforce Shoaibi Group’s market positions across our engineering and contracting services to the Saudi upstream industry," added Shoaibi group director Khalid Suhayl Al Shoaibi.

Saudi Arabia could become oil importer by 2030 A REPORT BY Citigroup has said that Saudi Arabia risks becoming an oil importer by 2030 as the country is increasingly using its oil for about half of the Kingdom's electricity production.

Saudi Arabia is the world's biggest crude exporter and accounts for about 13 per cent of global supply, but it may

need to use a growing share of its production for power generation to meet rising local electricity demand.

Saudi Arabia consumes 25 per cent of its oil output. A quarter of the country’s fuel production is used domestically, more per capita than other industrialised nations, as the cost is subsidised, the report said.

“If Saudi Arabian oil consumption grows in line with peak power demand, the country could be a net oil importer by 2030,” Citi analyst Heidy Rehman noted.

Saudi Arabia already consumes all its natural-gas production and the counrty plans to double its power capacity by 2032 through new nuclear and solar instalations.

The country already consumes all its natural-gas production and it does not import gas, unlike neighboring producers such as Kuwait, and the UAE that also lack fuel for power generation.

Global oil and gas spending to smash US$1 trillion barrier GLOBAL OIL AND gas capital expenditure (capex) will reach US$1,039 billion for 2012, thanks to increased activity in the E&P sector, a report by GlobalData forecasted.

The report predicted that the total oil and gas capex will increase by 13.4 per cent this year over the 2011 total of US$916 billion, as oil companies intensify upstream operations around the world.

GlobalData stated, “Investor confidence in new upstream projects is being driven by the increasing number of oil and gas discoveries (242 last year alone), combined with consistently high oil prices and the arrival of new technologies that are giving the major firms access to deep offshore reserves that were previously technically and financially unviable.”

North America will see the highest expenditure globally with US$254.3 billion set to be spent this year which represents a 24.5 per cent share of the 2012 global total.

Compared to a global average capex growth rate of 13.4

per cent, North America is expected to witness a capex growth of 15.7 per cent.

GlobalData added that, “the increase of unconventional oil and gas activities, especially the continuing exploitation of shale oil and gas sites and the development of Canadian oil sands are the major drivers for these investments.”

The report predicted that Asia-Pacific would follow very closely behind the US with a capex of US$253.1 billion, while the Middle East and Africa is forecast to spend US$229.6 billion.

NOCs are expected to lead in terms of capex, contributing approximately half of the total, with IOCs and independents making up the remainder.

In terms of capital expenditure for the 2012–2016 period, the top global NOC spender will be Petroleo Brasileiro, whereas ExxonMobil Corporation is expected to be the number one IOC. Together, these two companies plan to undertake a massive oil and gas capex of US$409 billion through to 2016.

Technip acquires Shaw Group’s energy and chemicals business TECHNIP HAS COMPLETED the acquisition of the Stone & Webster process technologies and associated oil and gas engineering capabilities from the Shaw Group for US$225 million.

Technip will develop a new business unit called Technip Stone & Webster Process Technology within its onshore/offshore segment.

The acquisition will further strengthen Technip's ability to provide technology to the refining and petrochemicals industries, diversify its Onshore/Offshore segment, and expand and supply unconventional gas to the growing downstream markets across the world, especially in the US. The company will also benefit from Stone & Webster's existing clientele and add skilled resources to its global research and engineering team.

Technip chairman and chief executive officer Thierry Pilenko said, "By combining our talents, strong portfolios and leading edge execution capabilities, we will further differentiate ourselves through first-class downstream technologies, offer unique products and services."

Technip said in a statement that going forward the acquired business should generate margins above those of the onshore/offshore segment, while having a more robust and lower risk earnings profile.

Iraq oil exports increased in August IRAQ’S STATE OIL Marketing Organisation (SOMO) said that Iraq’s crude exports rose in August to reach an average 2.565 million barrels per day (bpd), the highest level in more than three decades.

The overall exports Iraq's oil exports have hit a 30 year high in August brought in US$8.442bn in revenues on the back of average oil prices of US$106 per barrel, head of SOMO Falah alAmiri said.

Exports in August from Basra in the south of Iraq were 2.252mn bpd, while exports from northern Kirkuk were 313,000 bpd Iraq exported 2.516 million bpd in July.

"It's the highest export level in three decades and we are moving ahead to reach another record next month," Alamri stated.

The Egyptian government is finalising an economic reform plan that will rein in hefty energy subsidies, which are estimated to cost around six per cent of GDP. But bigger challenges lie ahead for the government, as this report from Exclusive Analysis explains.

Difficult decisions lie ahead for Egypt’s

new government T

he al-Arish pipeline in Egypt is the most vulnerable piece of infrastructure in Egypt, given its location in the Sinai Peninsula where Bedouin have a hostile relationship with the central government and see pipeline attacks as a means of putting pressure on the government to make concessions. Among others, these concessions include additional investment in the region and the release of prisoners.

Other energy assets like the Sumed (SuezMediterranean) oil pipeline and natural gas export terminals at Idku, near Alexandria, and Damietta, in the Nile delta are at moderate risk of strikes leading to several days’ disruption at a time.

Attacks on the gas pipelines in Sinai, and against security forces attempting to disrupt smuggling between Gaza and Sinai, are likely to continue within three to six months. Any agreement between northern Sinai Bedouin and the government is unlikely to lead to a reduction of kidnap risks to expatriates and tourists in southern Sinai unless the Egyptian government releases prisoners it holds from the south and annuls convictions in absentia of others on terrorism and other charges.

Political will On 26 August, Egyptian media claimed government officials had reached an agreement with jihadists in the north Sinai to cease attacks on government forces in return for the Army halting Operation Eagle, which targets Sinai jihadists and releasing a number of detained Sinai jihadists. Though we assess reports of talks between north Sinai Islamist militants and government officials are credible, statements by Egyptian Defence officials indicate that talks have failed.

Furthermore, the Egyptian government is unlikely to have the political will to deploy sufficient troops to establish effective security.

The composition of the new cabinet indicates that the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) will likely retain control over security matters and the overall direction of government policy, while the Muslim Brotherhood will be in charge of day to day policy.

The Army however continues to be the most important political force in Egypt, despite Morsi’s assertion of authority over it. An increasingly independent judiciary will oversee the agreement between them. This agreement and the powers of the SCAF, the president and Parliament, are likely to be enshrined in a new constitution.

Attacks on oil and gas infrastructure in the Sinai Peninsula are likely to continue

On 24 August 2012, opponents of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) demonstrated in Cairo, but only managed to draw insignificant numbers. On 12 August 2012, Muslim Brotherhood President Morsi sent into retirement Defence Minister and SCAF Chairman Tantawi and Army Chief of Staff Anan. The dismissals and low turnout at the demonstration indicate the increased stability of the MB government. Increased political stability in turn increases the likelihood that Egypt will obtain a US$4.8 bn IMF loan, and that the US would write off US$1 bn of Egypt's debts, decreasing non-payment risks for firms contracting with the government, especially for exporters of fuel and grain to Egypt.

Subsidies In the one-year outlook, demonstrations against the MB without military support are unlikely to reach a level that would detract from the ability of the MB to govern.

Regardless of the composition of the government, Egypt's budget deficit, projected at eight per cent of GDP for the next fiscal year, will likely force it to reduce energy subsidies, which are estimated to cost around six per cent of GDP. To stem civil unrest, Egypt is more likely to reduce subsidies for industrial facilities that for diesel and gasoline sold to consumers.

Regardless of the composition of the government, Egypt's budget deficit, projected at eight per cent of GDP for the next fiscal year, will likely force it to reduce energy subsidies Egypt’s budget deficit and its need for external financing are likely to force the country to seek out additional investment in the energy sector.

Additionally, Egypt is likely to pressure firms with unused exploration acreage to speed up exploration activities, to bring in foreign partners, or to cede some acreage to other firms. Pressure is likely to take the form of bureaucratic delays and payment delays.

Egypt is less likely to renegotiate contracts with energy firms in order to increase its take from hydrocarbon revenues. However, future contract terms are likely to be more favourable to the Egyptian government. ■

Analysis

This year’s BP Statistical Review again puts the oil and gas figures into a wider all-forms energy context. And it chimes nicely with another recent arrival.

BP contributes to quest for

better data I

NTRODUCING THIS YEAR’S BP Statistical Review of World Energy* Group Chief Executive Bob Dudley notes “how competition and a level playing field foster innovation, ultimately leading to the production of previously inaccessible, new, ‘unconventional’ resources.”

Pulitzer Prize-winning author and analyst Daniel Yergin of IHS Cambridge Energy Research Associates put it very similarly in his very upbeat account of precisely those same industries – in other words energy in all forms – last year.

We quote from his widely acclaimed The Prize: “Fundamental … is the search for knowledge, which advances technology and promotes innovation.”

And he goes on to repeat the well-known adage that “Oil is found in the minds of men”.

But not last year it wasn’t, apparently. The most striking single statistic contained without comment within this year’s Statistical Review is that over the last recorded 12 months global proved reserves of oil increased on trend by just over 30 bn (thousand million) barrels; that’s a healthy sounding 1.9 per cent. But an astonishing 28.1bn of those were found in fast-recovering Iraq. Take out those conflict-delayed barrels and there was hardly any increase around the world at all.

Meanwhile global consumption rose by 0.7 per cent, a below-average figure due to measures taken in the industrialised countries the IOC’s number crunchers point out.

Regional disparaties In natural gas the end result of the new-discoveries story is much the same (though admittedly that’s

16 Oil Review Middle East Issue Six 2012

The increasing significance of the China market has not gone unnoticed

More electrical power is now being generated in China than in the USA mainly because of lack of looking, the reasons for which Yergin goes into in much detail). Take out the sensational advances in shale gas discoveries and production – in the United States in particular – and the world could soon be needing all and more of that costly liquefied gas that Qatar in

particular is now releasing onto world markets.

Total world trade in LNG grew by more than 11.1 per cent last year; international pipeline business by just two per cent. Meanwhile regional price disparities have grown massively – alarmingly to some without the long-term contract terms that so many of Ras Laffan’s customers adhere to.

Amongst the key points made specifically about oil in this year’s BP Statistical Review were: 6 Global consumption grew by a below-average 0.6mbd in 2011, or 0.7 per cent

6 Elsewhere growth was 2.8 per cent 6 China again recorded the largest single increment – 5.5 per cent - but this was below the 10-year average

6 Production overall was up 1.1mbd, or 1.3 per cent. Nearly all this increase took place within OPEC, with particularly large increases in the KSA, Qatar and UAE 6 US output reached its highest level since 1998 6 Oil remains the leading fuel but has now lost market share for 12 successive years 6 Global trade grew by two per cent, or 1.1mbd. This accounted for 62 per cent of world consumption. China generated approximately two-thirds of this growth in international oil business in volume terms 6 Refined products accounted for two-thirds of the growth in trade last year middle distillates again being the fastest-growing refined product category by volume.

Against a background like this The Quest is certainly a fascinating book, the best single primer on how the energy markets function (all the energy markets; as Dudley’s team equally point out coal was once again the fastest-growing fossil fuel in 2011, with prices increasing in all regions.) For example it explains in detail what ‘financialisation’ of the oil markets, a development which upsets OPEC officials in particular, actually means on the ground, over the ocean and wherever else oil is traded.

Yergin notes, as does the BP team, the huge and increasing significance of the Chinese market, pointing out how recently it was that the PRC was actually

In natural gas, the end result of the newdiscoveries story is much the same exporting significant amounts of crude oil. China’s new-found co-operation with the IEA and International Energy Forum is warmly welcomed; because of the Libyan crisis it was taking place seemingly as this landmark book was going through the press. And the consultant’s independent overview notes that more electrical power is now being generated in China than in the USA, with nearly two-thirds of the new capacity being fuelled by (increasingly cleaned up) coal.

And that’s to say nothing of automobile sales …

The Quest points out the significance of the growing role of unconventionals – notably results of the ‘shale gale’ and those sticky tar sands – in North America, raising the possibility that as much as one-half of US gas supply could be coming from this category sometime soon.

And it all ends very positively, referring to a ‘quest that will never end’, one that will be based on ‘the human spirit as much as technology.’ Precisely the same point as made in the preamble to the BP Review. n

Beach Energy reports Egyptian success

Algerian field declared commercial

JOINT-VENTURE PARTNER BEACH Energy advised that the extended production tests (EPT), on its four successful wells in the Abu Sennan concession (Beach 22 per cent) in Egypt’s Western Desert, have commenced.

The four wells, Al Ahmadi-1, GPZZ-4, Al Jahraa-1 and El Salmiya-1 flowed oil, gas and condensate during drill stem tests from various intervals, including the Abu Roash C, E, and G members and the Bahariya Formation.

The combined maximum production rate achieved to date from the EPT was 2,524 barrels of oil per day, with associated gas. The EPT is planned to continue for six months, which will enable the volume of hydrocarbons in place to be estimated. The EPT will also provide the basis for a development plan that will focus on the effective recovery of hydrocarbons within the various reservoirs.

A further three exploration wells have been approved by the Abu Sennan Joint Venture. The first of these wells, ASA-1X, spudded on 1 August, 2012 and is targeting the GP-ZZ trend to the North East.

The joint venture equity interests in Abu Sennan are: Beach (via wholly owned subsidiary Beach Petroleum (Egypt) Limited) - 22 per cent; Kuwait Energy - 50 per cent and operator; Dover Investments - 28 per cent.

Earlier this year, Beach raised US$363mn for its exploration and development programs for at least the next couple of years. The company believes these programs will bring significant benefits to shareholders over the coming years. In 2008, Beach acquired a 20 per cent interest in the North Shadwan Concession, in the Gulf of Suez. The Gulf is the most prolific petroleum producing province in Egypt, having yielded approximately 10 billion barrels of oil to date.

Beach Energy is a long established oil and gas exploration and production company based in Adelaide, South Australia.

PETROCELTIC INTERNATIONAL ANNOUNCED that the parties to the Isarene Production Sharing Contract (PSC) have agreed a Formal Declaration of Commerciality in respect of the Ain Tsila natural gas field situated in the Illizi Basin of Algeria.

The final discovery report (field development plan), submitted in January 2012, along with the Declaration of Commerciality and supporting www.petroceltic.com documentation will now be passed to the Algerian authorities. Following their approval, the PSC parties will be granted a 30 year exploitation permit for the Ain Tsila field. Petroceltic holds a 56.625 per cent working interest in this development, with Enel holding 18.375 per cent and Sonatrach 25 per cent.

The field was formally declared commercial on completion of an agreement for Sonatrach to market all of the produced gas from the Ain Tsila field, using a formula linked to Brent oil pricing. The PSC partners estimate the field to contain gross resources of 2.1 tcf of sales gas, 67 mmbbl of condensate and 108 mmbbl of LPG. Development work is expected to commence in 2014 and first gas is planned for the third quarter 2017, initially from an estimated 18 vertical wells produced through a new gas processing plant at an annual average wet gas plateau rate of 355 mscfd. The plateau length is 14 years and an additional 106 development wells are estimated to be required during the period to maintain this production plateau.

Medco seeks to conclude Yemen deal MEDCO ENERGI HAS signed a Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA) with Reliance Exploration & Production DMCC (REPDMCC) to acquire 25 per cent participating interest in Block 9 (Malik) Republic of Yemen. Completion of the transaction is conditional upon approval from the Ministry of Oil and Minerals of Yemen. Upon the completion of the transaction, Medco Energi will effectively have 21.25 per cent participating interest (after taking into account a proportionate carried share of Yemen Oil and Gas Company (YOGC)). The resulting participating interests in www.medcoenergi.com the Block 9 (Malik) PSA will be as follows: Calvalley Petroleum (Cyprus) 42.50 per cent (Operator); Medco Yemen Malik 21.25 per cent; Hood Oil 21.25 per cent; YOGC 15.00 per cent. Block 9 is located in the province of Hadramaut, Yemen, about 350-km NE of the Yemeni capital, Sana'a. The Block, which is located within the Sayun-Masila Basin, has an area of 2,234 sq-km, in which some of its area has previously been explored. On Aug 25 2005, the government of Yemen granted the construction licence for the Block for a 20-year period. Participating licence holders have the right to negotiate for an extension of another five years after 2005.

DNO encounters oil in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq DNO INTERNATIONAL HAS announced that the Benenan-3 well currently drilling in the Kurdistan region of Iraq has encountered movable oil in the Bekhme formation at a depth of around 2,000 meters. Testing is ongoing to acquire additional data.

Benenan-3 initiates the multi-well development of the Benenan field in the Erbil license and will be completed as a horizontal producer in the Najmeh formation. The deeper Najmeh formation was oil bearing in both the Benenan discovery and appraisal wells; the Bekhme formation, however, was not conclusively tested in those down dip wells.

Following Benenan-3, the rig will be mobilized to drill the Bastora-2 development well in the adjacent Bastora field, also in the Erbil license.

Bastora-1, the first horizontal well completed in Kurdistan, is producing from the Bekhme formation under long-term test in preparation for full field development.

In other ongoing operations in Kurdistan, the Tawke-18 well, designed to increase Cretaceous production and test an exploration footwall target below the main field-bounding fault, is drilling ahead at 2,400 meters.

The Tawke-17 well, drilling ahead at 550 meters, is also designed to increase Cretaceous deliverability from the eastern flank of the Tawke field and test the exploration potential of deeper Jurassic and Triassic intervals. A fourth rig has been mobilised by the company to re-enter the Tawke-14 well in early October for a planned sidetrack into the Cretaceous interval.

Tawke-19, the last Tawke development well under the 100,000 barrels per day production enhancement program, is also scheduled to spud in early October.

'Through these wells and others planned next year, the company is targeting in excess of 500 million barrels of gross unrisked oil and gas reserves, predominantly in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq,' said Bijan Mossavar-Rahmani, DNO International's Executive Chairman.

'Our drilling campaign is aggressive, it is balanced between exploration and development and it is consequential,' he added.

Lebanon survey announced by Spectrum

Total keen to broaden investments

SPECTRUM ANNOUNCED THE acquisition of a new multi-client 3D seismic survey in the Levantine Basin offshore Lebanon.

Under the terms of the contract to the Ministry of Energy and Water (MEW) of Lebanon, Spectrum is acquiring the MC3D survey in the south west EEZ (Exclusive Economic Zone) offshore Lebanon.

The survey will be carried out in co-operation with Dolphin Geophysical using their Polar Duke vessel which will acquire at least 579 square miles (1,500 sq-km) of data using 12 streamers and dual source. This is the first phase of a project that will incorporate up to 1,158 square miles (3,000 sq-km) when completed. The study area is ranked as ‘high prospectivity’ as defined by Beicip Franlab following their study conducted on behalf of the MEW. Spectrum's Executive Vice President David Rowlands commented, "Since the discovery of giant gas fields in the Eastern Mediterranean, there has been a stampede to explore the deepwater of the Levantine Basin.

Spectrum has been instrumental in providing data and knowledge to enhance awareness of this Basin. Our Multi-Client 2D data and additional products in the area are second to none, both in scope and quality. With this strategically-placed 3D survey we will complete the geological picture allowing clients to fully evaluate the prospectivity."

Acquisition is scheduled to be completed before the end of September.

A fast track volume, processed on-board, will be available to interested clients in November. The final product will be completed in early 2013 which is when the Lebanese government has indicated that their first ever licensing round will open.

JEAN DANIEL BLASCO, Vice President of TOTAL E&P North Africa, recently participated in an interview with The Energy Exchange to discuss the organisation’s opportunities in Libya and North Africa.

Libya has commenced rebuilding its economy at an accelerated rate.

The IMF has reported that the Libyan economy is expected to surge by nearly 117 per cent in 2012 with oil production levels reaching 1.7mn barrels per day (bpd) to 1.95mn bpd by 2015.

Genel increases KRI stake HERITAGE OIL ANNOUNCED recently that it is selling a 26 per cent interest in its Miran production sharing contract in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI) to Turkey's Genel Energy for US$156mn.

The deal will see Genel take its holding in the Miran license to 51 per cent, while Heritage's interest will fall to 49 per cent.

The Miran block covers approximately 390 square miles, and its eastern and western structures are currently the subject of exploration and development activities. Notable successes for Heritage there have included the recent drilling of the Miran West-4 well, which achieved a flow rate of 1,350 barrels of oil per day in one test.

The firm has also drilled the Miran West-3 well, which after successful testing is currently suspended pending the completion of a production well.

Heritage's Miran East-1 exploration well began drilling in March and is expected to be complete in November 2012.

As well as the US$156mn cash payment to Heritage, Genel will also provide it with a US$294mn loan on completion of the sale.

The offshore Al Jurf field has a capacity of 45,000 bpd. Oil production from Total had reached 55,000 bpd in Libya, but decreased drastically when the civil war began.

“After the civil war, Total’s main challenge was to support its common operating company with National Oil Company Libya (NOC Libya), Mabruk Oil Operations, to resume production,” said Blasco.

“The two fields Al Jurf (offshore) and Mabruk (onshore) are now back to their pre-war production levels.”

According to Blasco, the challenges faced by Total in Libya, in addition to supporting development activities of Mabruk Oil Operations, were to re-start its exploration activities.

Libya’s proven oil reserves amount to 47 billion barrels and Total is interested in expanding its opportunities in Libya, such as new exploration rounds.

Total is active in exploring potential offshore resources in Libya and other countries of North Africa.

Blasco said : “In Libya, we are already participating in production from Al Jurf field, located offshore Tripoli. Two exploration wells are planned in 2013 for this area. In Egypt, we are operating the East El Burrulus Block, located deep offshore, where two exploration wells should be drilled in 2013. We are also interested in the recent exploration round launched by EGAS. In Mauritania, we are operators of the Block C9, where we plan to start a 3D seismic campaign by year-end.”

While Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) is increasingly important in Libya, Blasco states: “There is a lot to do with Improved Oil Recovery (IOR) activities on existing fields before starting costly EOR projects.”

Furthermore, TOTAL actively seeks to develop local content programmes in the region. Blasco stated that the last development project in Usan, deep offshore in Nigeria, has involved a record 60 per cent of local content man-hours.

Egypt update from Circle Oil WATER INJECTION WELL Al Ola-3 was spudded in July and is located in the southern part of the AASE field, downdip of and to support the oil production from the Al Ola-1 and Al Ola-2, AASE12ST and AASE-1X production wells, respectively and is located 870 metres to the south of the Al-Ola-1 well and 1,445 metres southeast of Al-Ola-2 well. The well's objective was to appraise both the Shagar and Rahmi sands for water injection in that location. The well was successfully drilled to a total depth of 10,550 ft MD into the Upper Rudeis. The well encountered 18 ft of net reservoir in the Kareem Shagar sand (between 10,164-10,182 ft MD) and 20 ft of net reservoir in the Rahmi sand (between 10,232-10,252 ft MD), with high water saturations present to the base of the reservoir as expected. Formation pressure tests in the Kareem sands of Al Ola-3 indicate fluid communication in this southern extent of the AASE field. The well will be dually completed as a Shagar and Rahmi water injector.

www.circleoil.net

Following the successful completion of the Al OIa-3 well, the rig will drill the infill production well Geyad-6, in the south central part of the Geyad field.

Currently production from the AASE, Geyad and Al Ola fields is approx. 9,100 bopd (gross) varying to date (August 2012) within the range 9,000-10,000 bopd. Cumulative production from the NW Gemsa Concession has now exceeded 8.9 million barrels of 42 degree API Crude oil.

Water is currently being injected at a rate of approx. 22,000 barrels per day, with a cumulative injection to date of approx. 5.4 million barrels.

The NW Gemsa Concession, containing the Al Amir, Geyad and Al Ola Development Leases, covering an area of over 260 sq-km, lies approx. 300-km south-east of Cairo in a partially unexplored area of the Gulf of Suez Basin. In the event of commercial discoveries, the concession agreement includes the right of conversion to a production licence of 20 years plus extensions.

The NW Gemsa Concession partners include: Vegas Oil and Gas (50 per cent interest and operator); Circle Oil (40 per cent interest) and Sea Dragon Energy (10 per cent interest).

BP makes gas discoveries in Egypt

Cairn to farm in offshore Morocco block

BP EGYPT HAS announced the Taurt North and Seth South gas discoveries in the North El Burg Offshore Concession, Nile Delta. These are the fourth and fifth discoveries made by BP in the concession following Satis-1 and Satis-3 Oligocene deep discoveries and Salmon-1 shallow Pleistocene discovery.

The two wells were drilled by IEOC on behalf of concession operator BP, using Scarabeo IV rig in water depths of 110 and 78 meters respectively. The wireline logs, fluid samples and pressure data confirmed the presence of gas in one Pleistocene interval in Taurt North and two Plio-Pleistocene intervals in Seth South. Options to tie both discoveries to nearby existing infrastructure are being studied.

Hesham Mekawi, President and General Manager of BP Egypt stated, 'The discoveries show our commitment to develop the remaining potential of the shallow reservoirs within the Nile Delta and make the best use of the existing infrastructure. It demonstrates the ongoing cooperation with the Ministry of Petroleum to deliver new gas discoveries and incremental supply to meet the future growth of the gas www.bp.com business in Egypt.'

SERICA ENERGY HAS announced that, subject to the consent of the Moroccan Authorities, Cairn Energy through its subsidiary Capricorn Exploration and Development Company will be joining Serica’s wholly owned subsidiary Serica Foum Draa and its partners, San Leon Offshore Morocco and Longreach Oil and Gas Ventures, in the exploration of the set of permits which comprise the Foum Draa Offshore area in Morocco.

Serica, San Leon and Longreach hold a combined 75 per cent equity interest in Foum Draa with the balancing 25 per cent interest held by the Office National des Hydrocarbures et des Mines (ONHYM), the Moroccan State oil company. In accordance with the terms of the permits the costs relating to ONHYM's 25 per cent interest are carried in full by the Foum Draa Participants during the exploration and appraisal stage.

Under the transaction, Cairn will acquire a 50 per cent equity interest in Foum Draa, pro rata from each of the Foum Draa Participants according to its equity interest. In return Cairn will pay its equity interest share of past costs, being US$1.5mn (US$500,000 net to Serica) and the first US$60mn towards the drilling of the commitment well required in the First Extension Period (including the costs relating to the ONHYM carried interest). As a result of the farm-out, Serica will hold an ongoing interest of 8.3333 per cent in the Foum Draa permits with San Leon and Longreach holding 14.1667 per cent and 2.5 per cent respectively. Over the past two and a half years Serica and its partners have been carrying out extensive 3D seismic reprocessing and geological/geophysical analyses of the sub-surface in Foum Draa. Having identified several prospective exploration targets, a farm-out process was initiated to attract a partner with the requisite financial and technical capability to drill in the relatively deep waters of Foum Draa. The transaction with Cairn is the successful result of that process.

MOL says Syrian production ‘illegal’

Afren announces drilling of East Simrit well

HUNGARIAN OIL AND gas group MOL said that Syrian oil firm Hayan Petroleum Company (HPC) was continuing oil production at the Hayan field in Syria, even after MOL suspended the field's activities in February, and this was ‘illegal’.

"After the force majeure announcement HPC should have stopped oil activities, however HPC continues production which we consider illegal," MOL's director Jozsef Tatai said at a recent conference.

Tatai said he was not aware of the current production level but said it included oil, gas and condensate.

Meanwhile, MOL announced that it has signed an exploration and production-sharing agreement with Oman for a 4,899 sqkm block along the Saudi Arabian border.

'A producing oilfield and two discoveries exist in close vicinity of the block, proving the prospectivity of the main target formations in Block 66,' MOL said in a statement. It said the six-year exploration period was divided into two parts, with the first, four-year phase involving seismic acquisitions and the drilling of two exploration wells.

“We have been conducting exploration activities in the country since 2006 in Block 43b, where we plan to spud our first exploration well soon,” Sandor Fasimon, executive vice president of the exploration and production division said. “Our aim is to build up a sizeable exploration and production portfolio, in line with MOL's organic growth strategy,” he said.

MOL Group’s diverse upstream portfolio includes a number of assets, covering production in seven countries as well as further exploration possibilities in 13 countries. In the international arena, the Kurdistan Region of Iraq and Russia remain vital pillars of MOL’s upstream activity, cemented by recent discoveries and field development activities.

AFREN HAS ANNOUNCED that exploration drilling has commenced at the East Simrit Prospect (Simrit-3 well) located on the Ain Sifni PSC in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. Afren and operator Hunt Oil Middle East have commenced exploration drilling at the East Simrit Prospect located on the Ain Sifni PSC in the Kurdistan region of Iraq. The Simrit-3 www.afren.com well is located approx. 10 km east of the successful Simrit-2 discovery well, and is exploring the eastern extent of the large scale Simrit anticline.

The Simrit anticline is a large scale east to west trending structure located on the northern part of the Ain Sifni PSC. The partners recently completed drilling of the Simrit-2 exploration well, the purpose of which was to test the western extent of the structure. The well was ultimately drilled to a total measured depth of 3,800 metres and encountered 460 metres of net oil pay throughout Cretaceous, Jurassic and Triassic age reservoirs. No oil water contact has been established in the target reservoirs. Following the conclusion of drilling operations in June 2012, a comprehensive well test programme commenced and is ongoing. The partners intend to undertake up to 12 separate drill stem tests (DSTs) in total, and announced in July 2012 that the first batch of three DSTs in the Triassic age Kurra Chine formation had yielded an aggregate flow rate of 13,584 bopd of 39° API gravity oil.

Extension of Egyptian gas resources

Co-operation in oil shale development

RWE DEA EGYPT has confirmed the extension of the North Sidi Ghazy-1x discovery in the Egyptian Nile Delta with a successful development well.

The start of production from the company’s Disouq project is planned www.rwe.com for 2013. The development well NSG-1-2 was drilled in the North Sidi Ghazy structure and reached a total vertical depth of 2,843 metres below the sea surface. The well confirmed the extension of gas resources and Messinian (Abu Madi Formation) reservoir properties on the eastern side of the field. The North Sidi Ghazy-1x gas discovery forms the core asset of the Disouq Development Project. 'I am very delighted with the recent results of this well, which will enable us to develop the entire reservoir,' explained Dirk Warzecha, General Manager RWE Dea Egypt. Together with the Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company (EGAS) and the Suez Oil Company (SUCO), RWE Dea develops in total seven gas discoveries in the first phase of the project. The production is meant to supply gas to the growing Egyptian energy market. The North Sidi Ghazy-1x gas discovery flowed with a rate of 41 thousand standard cubic metres per hour (about one million standard cubic metres per day) on a 50/64 inch choke. The latest well has been temporarily suspended and will be completed as producer, along with other wells, later in 2012.

SAN LEON ENERGY has commissioned Enefit Outotec Technology (EOT) to conduct a study of an oil shale retorting project in a newly awarded onshore shallow oil shale mining area in Morocco, in addition to San Leon's Tarfaya In Situ oil shale acreage of 6,000 km2 which will be pursued in parallel. A study by Shell in 1985 of an open pit mining project located on a site adjacent to the newly awarded blocks established that mineable reserves from this location were more than sufficient for a 50,000 bbl/day production over 30 years.

The recent award, following the amendment of the Memorandum of Understanding between San Leon and the Office National des Hydrocarbures et des Mines (ONHYM), in Morocco of the additional mining blocks with low over burden and easy access will allow San Leon to test the suitability of the Tarfaya oil shale for EOT's proprietary process which is successfully used by Eesti Energia in Estonia. If found suitable, San Leon envisages a commercial retort operation for the production of oil, gas and electricity. Under the cooperation agreement, EOT will undertake a staged development programme to perform test work and feasibility studies in order to assess the project's technical and commercial viability. In subsequent stages further engineering studies will be carried out before the start of construction of the first Enefit 280 shale oil production plant in Morocco. Oisin Fanning, Chairman of San Leon, commented: “We are delighted by the recent shallow blocks awarded on our Tarfaya oil shale project area and to be able to announce our co-operation with Enefit Outotec Technology with a view to licensing its modern Enefit 280 ex situ retorting process. The dual strategy of applying Enefit's proven ex situ retorting technology to the shallow resource while we pursue, in parallel, our current insitu program in the deeper zone will ensure maximum early commercialisation of the Tarfaya oil shale resource. Morocco has one of the largest oil shale reserves in the world and these projects will help the Kingdom initiate development of its oil shale deposits to meet its domestic energy needs for oil and electricity.”

Oil Review spoke to Tim Buttkus, director business development Linde Gas Middle East, about the significance of the company’s huge contract to supply all on-site gases to Sadara's major chemical complex in Jubail, Saudi Arabia.

Supplying industrial gases on

another level T

HE LARGE CONTRACT was awarded to Linde Gas Middle East in March this year by Sadara, the joint venture developed by Saudi Arabian Oil Company (Saudi Aramco) and The Dow Chemical Company (Dow).

Buttkus said that the tender to win the contract was very competitive and it was a tough challenge for all the competing firms.

“We were pleased that we managed to secure the job. It was very hard and we really tried to pull out all the stops and be very creative in terms of the technical concept required to do the work and also to give a very good deal to Sadara,” noted Buttkus.

Under the long-term twenty year contract Linde will supply Sadara with carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen (H2), and ammonia (NH3) and will also include the construction of a HyCO facility. All the gases will be fed into a chemical complex now being built by Sadara in Jubail Industrial City.

Linde's engineering division will design, deliver and construct the new turnkey gas facilities.

The production units are scheduled to be ready in 2015 and will be operated

by Linde's gas division.

Buttkus said that Linde would invest US$380 mn in the project and that it is the gas division’s first successes story in Saudi. It is also Linde's largest on-site petrochemical project in this region and their first in Jubail.

Linde will supply Sadara with carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen (H2), and ammonia (NH3) and will also include the construction of a HyCO facility “This is why this contract is so significant as we really wanted to get into Saudi Arabia, which is the most exciting oil and gas market in the Middle East,” said Buttkus.

The Sadara contract could lead to further growth opportunities in the region, as Buttkus pointed out, “We can use the Sadara contract as a stepping stone.”

The market in Saudi Arabia is massive and Jubail provides a unique opportunity for industrial gas operators. Unlike other petrochemical clusters in the world, in Antwerp or Singapore, Jubail is the only cluster where there is not a multi-national gas company present who can supply petrochemical off-takers with a grid.

“The situation presents a huge opportunity and we are keen to invest even more in this sector,” stated Buttkus.

Full steam ahead Buttkus explained that the whole process had been a very long ride and that Linde was involved as far back as 2008.

He was praiseworthy of the tendering process which was conducted very professionally and the fact that right from the very beginning, both parties and sponsors had decided that an outsourcing model was the route to take.

“I like the link and strategic move within Saudi Aramco to focus on their core competencies and I feel this gas supply agreement can be seen as part of it,” added Buttkus.

Tim Buttkus

He explained that Linde spent a lot of time making sure the technical solutions that they came up with fitted well within the overall Sadara chemical complex.

“The beauty of our proposition is that Linde is capable of supplying the main technology in-house. We also have an in-house ammonia technology that will be used.”

Now that the tender has been awarded Linde is busy ramping up its operations in Jubail. Buttkus hopes that “the good collaboration that developed during the tender phase with Sadara will continue into the next phase.”

Linde Engineering has started engineering activities already with the procurement of the main equipment underway. But there will be plenty of equipment still to be procured, such as machinery.

One of the key tasks that Buttkus is heavily involved in is the setting up of a dedicated local gases unit in Jubail for on-site support. He will be the designated managing director for the entity.

secured a SAGIA (Saudi Arabian General Investment Authority) foreign investment license and the entity should be fully registered by Q4 2012.

Tonnage business Buttkus explained the different business models between Linde Engineering and Linde Gas and how this different approach is being brought into the Sadara project.

Linde Engineering will build a facility as part of a third party sale but Linde Gas follows a tonnage business model which is much more than building a single plant.

“The business model is different as we invest, build, run and operate and supply our clients with the gases through a pipe system.”

For the Sadara project, Linde Engineering will build a two-stream HyCO plant, plus a single-stream NH3 unit producing waterless liquid ammonia.

Linde will also install a large NH3 storage tank, which will result in a sophisticated supply concept that will enable the plant to run smoothly and reliably at all times.

A similar plant in Europe to the one that will be built in Jubail

Enabler It was a contractual stipulation to establish a dedicated local company which will own and will operate the units.

“This will be a huge task as we need to work out how we are going to bring the right quality, calibre and number of local nationals into the entity,” said Buttkus.

Saudisation will undoubtedly be a big part of this and Buttkus said that by 2015 the aim will be for Saudi nationals to be able to run and operate the plants.

He provided an update on the status of the entity. Linde Gas has already

Buttkus emphasised the cost benefits and efficient feedstock supplies that Linde Gas can provide and how these can help generate growth and attract future investment in a project or industrial complex.

“We can be an enabler as we are a critical utility for Jubail Industrial City,” he said.

The PlasChem Park that will be built behind the Sadara complex is also an exciting prospect for Linde Gas and Buttkus feels “it is a good initiative as normally in every downstream conversion park you will need more industrial gases.” ■

Gas Arabia summit to focus on regional development QNB CAPITAL, AN affiliate of Qatar National Bank reported that the region has around 42 trillion cubic metres (tcm) of gas to benefit from. This December, a broad range of global and regional industry experts will convene at the 2012 Gas Arabia Summit for four days to discuss how to capitalise on the numerous opportunities that the gas industry offers.

Organised by the Energy Exchange, the eighth annual Gas Arabia Summit will be held from 2-5 December in Muscat, Oman.

Gas Company, Oman LNG, BP and Petroleum Development Oman and sponsored by TOTAL, OMV, Honeywell and UOP. The International Energy Agency (IEA) recently reported that expected Middle East gas consumption would rise from 389 billion cubic metres (bcm) in 2011, to 468 bcm in 2017. However, this 79 bcm of additional gas supply forecast is contingent on the successful development of relatively expensive new gas fields.

The 2012 Gas Arabia Summit will focus on

the entire gas sector including two days dedicated strictly to developing unconventional gas and reducing gas flaring respectively.

The main Gas Arabia Summit will provide a comprehensive analysis on the gas industry both globally and regionally.

Presentations and discussions will help attendees understand the global gas industry, international demand and supply, global strategies in terms of anticipating setbacks and execution, technological updates and regional opportunities.

Shale gas will reshape world energy markets - report OF ALL ENERGY resources, oil and coal dominate global consumption.

While natural gas currently holds a significant share of the energy market, newly discovered shale gas reserves around the globe are likely to promote consumption of gas as both an energy source and an affordable feedstock for a wide variety of chemicals and materials.

A new study by Frost & Sullivan titled "Analysis of the Global Shale Gas Market" examines the impact of shale gas on the chemical industry and looks at the shale gas market as a whole.

"The rapid development of shale resources is set to change dramatically the current energy assets globally," says Frost & Sullivan Consulting Analyst Michael Mbogoro. Europe will, in the long term, decrease the region's dependence on supplies from Russia and the Middle East, thus reducing their dominance in energy markets. It is likely to also give rise to new geopolitical alliances at the expense of old.

Most demand in Asia will come from China and Japan, following China's insatiable energy needs (as a result of rapid growth) and Japan's expected increased dependence on natural gas following the Fukushima nuclear disaster. The large shale gas reserves in China will only temporarily ease the import burden, even if one accounts for increased power generation capacity from other sources (hydro, solar, wind).

Furthermore, large chemical companies are shifting investment patterns to exploit the rich shale gas reserves in the United States, at the expense of the Middle East and other natural gas-rich regions.

First platform at South Pars Phase 12 to be installed shortly THE FIRST SP-12 platform will be installed in the next few months at the South Pars Phase 12, the biggest phase of Iran's massive gas field.

The SP-12 platform is being constructed in Khorramshahr Yard and the platform will be moved towards the installation site (Assalouyeh) within the next month after being loaded from Khorramshahr Construction Yard, according to the report released by NIOC News Agency.

The first platform of phase 12, with an approximate weight of 3,300 tonnes, will be installed on the “platform 12A” jacket. The SP-12 platform will have 12 wells.

The second and third platforms are also being built at the Khorramshahr Yard and will arrive in Assalouyeh in short intervals after installation of the first platform.

Phase 12 field is the south eastern block of the South Pars Gas Field and is on the border with Qatar and covers an area equal to 150 km2.

The report stated that the volume of gas produced in South Pars Phase 12 field is equal to three phases of South Pars. The gas production capacity of each of the three offshore platforms in South pars Phase 12, is almost one billion cubic feet per day.

The units can produce 7.8 million tonnes a year of LNG each.

“Qatargas operates a rolling programme of planned maintenance at its facilities. As part of this planned maintenance, Qatargas Train 4 and Qatargas Train 5 will shut down for planned maintenance in September,” the world’s largest LNG exporter said.

“These necessary, planned and safe shutdowns are coordinated with all parties of our operations, shipping and customers as part of our annual maintenance planning.”

Qatargas also had to shut train 7 because it needed a new motor.

"Train 7 is currently shut down and will remain so while an electrical motor is being replaced," the company said in a statement.

"The unit was automatically and Qatargar 1 LNG plant safely shutdown and will be restarted as soon as the necessary equipment has been replaced. Qatargas is in close contact with its customers and mitigation actions are in place."

Saudi Aramco to develop Midyan gas field SAUDI ARAMCO HAS invited seven companies to bid for a contract to build a facility to process gas from the Midyan non-associated gas field in the northwest of the Kingdom to supply a power plant in the port city of Duba, reported Reuters.

The bid deadline for Gas plants are a the engineering, key component of procurement and Saudi Aramco's construction tender Master Gas System submissions is midOctober with c o m p l e t i o n scheduled for 2015.

The reported value of the contract is US$800 million.

Saudi Aramco successfully completed ten new Midyan wells and workovers as part of its gas development project. The overall outcome from drilling delineation and development wells was good and the gas production target was revised higher, from 50 million standard cubic feet a day (scfd)to 75 million scfd. The field is also forecast to produce 4,500 barrels a day of condensate for a 20 year period.

The gas from the Midyan field will be used for power generation and it will be transported by pipeline to a power plant in Duba, 135 km southwest of the field.

ABB awarded PDO gas plant project

Dodsal awarded US$450mn gas pipeline deal

ABB WAS AWARDED a US$100 million contract to construct a gas condensate processing plant for Petroleum Development Oman (PDO).

The new Saih Nihayda Condensate Stabilisation Plant will be situated near the Saih Nihayda gas plant in the north part of PDO concession area of the Sultanate. It will have the capacity to process 4,500 standard cubic meters of condensate per day.

The plant is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2014.

The new plant will be used as a backup for the existing central processing plant to ensure continued PDO is looking to increase its gas flows gas production for PDO’s domestic and export customers.

ABB head of process automation division, Veli-Matti Reinikkala, commented, “This contract underscores ABB’s trusted technology leadership to deliver fullscope projects to our oil and gas customers.

“Our industry expertise and global and local resources will help this project to be implemented and operated successfully, from design to start-up,” he added.

The power and automation technology firm will be in charge of management over the engineering, procurement, and construction of the plant. In addition, ABB will supply power equipment such as low- and medium-voltage switchgear, power transformers.

The project forms part of PDO’s intention to strengthen and ensure continued gas flows from its primary production facilities in the northern region of Oman.

UAE-BASED DODSAL GROUP was awarded an estimated US$450mn contract

by Abu Dhabi Gas Industries Company (Gasco) to build two pipelines from a gas processing plant south west of Abu Dhabi to industrial users to the north east of the capital.

The 297km pipeline will supply gas to Emirates Aluminium (Emal) and other industries in Taweelah, a new industrial hub between Abu Dhabi and Dubai.

The project is scheduled to be completed by 2015 according to industry sources, reported Reuters.

Habshan is an oil and gas hub in the western part of the emirate of Abu Dhabi. Gasco plans to build a fifth gas processing plant at Gasco is building a fifth gas processing plant at Habshan.

Gasco is a joint venture between Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc) which owns 68 per cent and Shell which holds 15 per cent, Total also has a 15 per cent share and Partex has the remaining two per cent.

PDO awards L&T gas depletion compression project INDIAN ENGINEERING CONTRACTOR Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has won a US$235mn order from Petroleum Development Oman (PDO).

The Engineering, Procurement & Construction (EPC) contract the company has been awarded will be for the second phase of a compression contract on the Saih Rawl gas field.

The Saih Rawl (SR) gas field initially began producing gas in 1999, however, due to declining reservoir pressure in Saih Rawl Main (SRM) Field, the Saih Rawl Depletion Compression Project Saih Rawl Main wells Flowing Tubing Pressure is expected to decline until it reaches 35 bar in Q1 2015.

In order to continue to produce on-spec gas through the central processing plant in the Q1 2015, second stage depletion compressors (SRDC2) will be required to be installed upstream of the SRDC1. L&T has been chosen to execute this part of the project.

Once completed, it will allow PDO to continue extracting gas from the field at a rate of 30mmscmd.

The SRDC2 involves installation of 76 MW of gas compression capacity with 4 trains, and modification of the condensate handling system at CPR. This will enable the Saih Rawl Main field to produce Maximum Annual Daily Load (MADL) of 30 MMSCMD gas.

PDO is responsible for producing 70 per cent of Oman's oil and almost all of its natural gas.

Heritage Oil sells gas block to Genel Energy GENEL ENERGY WILL acquire a 26 per cent interest in Miran exploration block in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq from Londonlisted Heritage Energy Middle East Limited (HEME) for US$156 million.

The acquisition will allow Genel Energy to increase its interest in the gas block from a 25 per cent to a 51 per cent working interest.

Genel said in a statement, “Together with the company's recent acquisition of a 44 per cent interest in the Bina Bawi gas discovery, it allows Genel Energy to create a material gas position in the Kurdistan Region.”

Genel Energy will also provide a bilateral loan of US$294 million to Heritage that will be secured on Heritage's shares in HEME and HEME's remaining working interest in the Miran block, as well as becoming joint operator of the block.

Heritage said in a statement, “The reduction in HEME’s funding obligations under the Miran JOA, will allow the Company to continue to acquire and invest in, and subsequently explore and develop, oil and gas properties throughout the world with a focus on the Middle East and Africa.”

Genel Energy and Heritage will establish a new joint venture company to manage the Miran block, to be held between them pro rata to their working interests in the field.

The Miran block covers approximately 1,105 sq-km in the southern part of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, and contains two large contiguous structures, Miran West and Miran East.

In 2008, Heritage acquired 2D seismic data that identified the two structures that together cover approximately one third of the entire area. Well results have established that the Miran block contains two hydrocarbon systems with oil in the shallower upper cretaceous section and gas/condensate within the deeper lower cretaceous and jurassic formations.

HEME is a subsidiary of oil and gas exploration and production company Heritage Oil Plc.

Composite hose technology is fundamental to the safe transfer of fuels, acids, chemicals and highly volatile liquids. John Laidlaw, managing director of Dantec, spoke to Oil Review about the need for the safe transfer of fuels in the petrochemical sector

Growing demand for safe

transfer of chemicals S

afety is of paramount importance in the petrochemical industry. UK based composite hose manufacturer Dantec has noticed a marked shift in the Middle East towards safe, quality, long lasting products.

The Middle East is a priority focus for Dantec and the firm has been targeting the Middle East petrochemical sector. In the last 12 months alone the firm has doubled sales to the region.

"The high growth environment of the region, the size of the market and its increasing maturity are creating increased demand for our composite hose products," said Laidlaw.Markets including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman and UAE have been key sales drivers regionally, but moving forward the size of the market and the increasing number of projects will continue to provide opportunities.Dantec has a key partnership with Dubai based distributor Flexiflo Corp, which enables it to target its products at specific projects, firms and market sectors.In the Middle East, Dantec is most active in the ship to shore area of fuel and chemical transfer but it increasingly supplies ship to ship, ship to tank, plant to truck and truck to tank operations.The company sees huge potential for its Firesafe petrol tanker loading hoses.

Saudi Arabia is a new market for this type of hose and the company has worked with BP in the UK for 14 years on its entire tanker fleet without failure. "We can provide the safest,

John Laidlaw

strongest, best value solution to the burgeoning market," added Laidlaw.There is fierce competition in the Middle East market with the main bulk of competition coming from Asia.

But Dantec argued that its main challenge was to promote the benefits of investing in quality and safety. Composite hoses are central to the movement of dangerous and flammable liquids, so they need to be of the highest quality construction to prevent catastrophic failure. It is a core belief of the company that a sale marks the beginning of a job.

On a recent visit to the Gulf of Oman, Dantec visited Fendercare Marine to help optimise its use of composite hoses. The firm advised on the deployment, operation and disconnection of the cryogenic hoses aboard a vessel operating in Gulf waters.

The strategy going forward for Dantec is to build on their partnership with Flexiflo Corp and to increase their visibility on the ground by visiting key clients to deliver after sales care. Laidlaw concluded, "Our aim is to increase our share of the market and to improve our own visibility in the region." â&#x2013;

Orpic’s polypropylene output hits one million tonnes mark OMAN OIL REFINERIES and Petroleum Industries Company (Orpic) has announced that its output of superior quality polypropylene homopolymer at its Sohar plant has surpassed one million tonnes.

Improved efficiencies throughout the Orpic business has resulted in a 41 per cent improvement at the Polypropylene Plant (PP) over the last year.

This was a major contributing factor in the plant passing the one million tonne production mark, the company said.

The new production level was a significant landmark for the Sohar plant, which commenced operations in October 2006.

Khalid Al Gaithi, operation engineer at the polypropylene plant said, “This was a proud moment for all in the PP Plant."

The Sohar plant is the sole polypropylene production plant in Oman and forms part of Oman’s policy to develop downstream petrochemical products.

The refinery is the main supplier of feedstock that goes in the production of polypropylene, which is vital for development of the domestic integrated petrochemicals industry. Orpic sells polypropylene under the brand name Luban.

Orpic exports its polypropylene products to several other markets including India, Sri Lanka, UAE, Pakistan, Bangladesh and some Middle East countries.

Orpic came into existence due to assimilation of Sohar and Al Fahal refineries, alongside petrochemical aromatics and polypropylene plants in a process that started just a couple of years ago.

At present, all four plants of the company in Sohar and Mina Al Fahal are delivering record outputs.

Equate's ethylene glycol unit to resume operations in November KUWAIT-BASED EQUATE PETROCHEMICAL Company (Equate) has issued a new estimate for when its Ethylene Glycol (EG) unit will come back online after the unit caught fire in July.

In a previous statement, Equate had said that the unit would return to operations in September 2012, but has now confirmed that it will not return to full operations until at least mid-November 2012.

"This was a change in schedule from what was issued on August 2nd, which had stipulated that the 550,000 MTA EG Unit will be back online within approximately six weeks from the fire that took place on July 31st, 2012," read a new statement from the firm.

Equate is the single operator of the fully integrated manufacturing facility that produces more than five million tonnes of petrochemical products annually that are marketed Equate produces more than five million throughout the Middle East, Asia, tonnes of petrochemical products Africa and Europe.

Equate is a joint venture between Petrochemical Industries Company (PIC), The Dow Chemical Company (Dow), Boubyan Petrochemical Company (BPC) and Qurain Petrochemical Industries Company (QPIC).

Foster Wheeler wins QP-Shell petrochemicals deal SHELL GLOBAL SOLUTIONS International has awarded a subsidiary of Foster Wheeler a contract to develop the basic engineering package for a monoethylene glycol (MEG) plant in Ras Laffan, Qatar.

The two-train MEG facility will be part of a new petrochemicals complex that is currently under development by a joint venture of Qatar Petroleum and Shell. The plant is planned to be able to produce 1.5mn tonnes per annum of MEG and it will use Shell’s proprietary OMEGA process.

Foster Wheeler has previously worked as the FEED and EPC contractor for

Shell’s OMEGA-based MEG plant in Singapore

Shell’s OMEGA-based MEG plant in Singapore and the company believes this "was a key factor" in winning the Qatar contract.

Foster Wheeler president and chief operating officer, Umberto della Sala, said, "Our team for the Qatar MEG project will include key members of the team that successfully delivered the Singapore project.

"We will leverage our understanding of Shell’s OMEGA process, and our experience and lessons learned from the Singapore project to deliver a high-quality basic engineering package for our client," he added.

GCC petrochemical capacity to rise by 46 per cent THE PETROCHEMICAL CAPACITY in the GCC is forecasted to increase from 77.3 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) to 113 MTPA at the end of 2015, marking a 46 per cent rise, according to the Gulf Petrochemical & Chemicals Association (GPCA).

The GCC petrochemicals production capacity grew 13.5 percent last year to nearly 116bn tonnes, with Saudi Arabia alone generating more than half of the US$100bn in sales registered by the GCC petrochemical sector, the report said.

The Kuwait Financial Centre (Markaz) said Saudi

40 Oil Review Middle East Issue Six 2012

Arabia tops the list with US$12bn of projects under execution and another US$41bn in future projects. Furthermore, petrochemical projects worth US$19bn are under execution in the GCC providing opportunities in both the long and short terms.

According to the CMAI (Chemical Market Associates, Inc.) and BMI, the global ethylene capacity of around 133 million tpa (concentrated in Asia, followed by North America, Europe and the Middle East) could increase to 159 million tpa by 2014.

Given the significant capacity expansion underway, the Middle East’s share in global ethylene capacity could increase from 19 per cent in 2009 to 23 per cent in 2014.

The Middle East ethylene production is forecast to rise from 21 million tpa to more than 30 million tpa by 2014, while that of China could increase from 18 million tpa to 25 million tpa over the same period.

Global consumption of petrochemicals is likely to be primarily driven by emerging economies.

Bids received for Luberef refinery expansion TWO COMPANIES HAVE bid for a project to double the capacity of an oil lubricants refinery in Yanbu controlled by Saudi Aramco.

South Korea's Samsung Engineering and Hyundai Engineering and Construction, Italy's Saipem and Spain's Tecnicas Reunidas bid on 1 September for the project, which is being developed by the Saudi Aramco Lubricating Oil Refining Co (Luberef), reported Reuters.

Yanbu refinery's current capacity of 280,000 tpy of oil lubricants is expected to double once the project is completed in 2015. It is one of the world's leading suppliers of high-quality base oil.

Luberef is one of the major suppliers of highThe Yanbu Refinery quality base oil expansion is intended to increase base oil production to meet future demands for high quality G-II and GIII base oils and increase the GR-I Bright stock to almost double current production, produce higher-value byproducts (naphtha, diesel, kerosene), and satisfy the Kingdom’s requirements for drilling fluid, which is currently imported.

Luberef, 70 per cent-owned by Saudi Aramco and 30 per cent by Saudi Jadwa Industrial Investment, produces around 550,000 tpy of oil lubricants at its two refineries at Jeddah and Yanbu.

The refinery expansion is part of Aramco’s ambitious plans to expand its downstream activities and raise its domestic refining output to 3.5 million bpd by 2016.

KIOGE

This year’s combined KIOGE and KazEnergy events in October will be focusing attention on what is arguably now the world’s most exciting multi-state energy province. The future shape of product flows from Central Asia’s vast oil and gas fields is anything but certain.

All eyes on

Kazakhstan W

ITH PROVEN RESERVES of 30 bn barrels (conservatively estimated) the huge Former Soviet Union (FSU) state of Kazakhstan holds almost two per cent of total known reserves, as of the end of 2011 (BP figures). No other independent Central Asian territory comes close to this status, and it is only in gas reserves that nearby states rival it.

Output of crude has been rising steadily and consistently in recent years, encouraged by the plethora of oil and gas lines originating in Kazakhstan that serve both Russia and the West; some of these are shared with nearby producing countries such as Azerbaijan which trail in terms of the amount of investment that has gone into pipeline development in recent years.

There are three separate refineries in operation in Kazakhstan with a total current throughput capacity in excess of 20mn t/yr.

One of these (Pavlodar) processes crude oil from remote Russian fields in Siberia.

Both on- and off-shore, Central Asia remains something of a conundrum, but the general consensus is that the only direction in which these various activities – basic energy production, lucrative transiting, and products processing for both home and export – can go is up, and everybody wants a slice of the action in what is turning out to be, after the rigid Soviet command-structure days, a fiercely independent, well positioned and non-aligned state – which happens to be potentially immensely rich.

Well developed A combination of region-leading economic reform policies and abundant incoming investment, mostly in the energy industries of course, is attracting immense geo-political interest in this still emerging state which effectively has a foot in several different worlds, including of course the residue of a long history (and therefore understanding) of Soviet control and business practices.

Its commercial and cultural links with nearby FSU states, including the region’s potential gas giant, Turkmenistan, are equally significant, and many Western companies use Kazakhstan’s well developed communications etc. infrastructure as an excellent ‘bridge’ to the entire widely-misunderstood region. Which happens to share many development features with the Gulf, of course.

44 Oil Review Middle East Issue Six 2012

Apart from its links with both Russia and the West Kazakhstan is also a significant oil exporter via a 2005-completed pipeline to the fast-growing far western regions of China, where more energy resources are urgently being sought.

The combined 20th KIOGE events are being held in the eastern city of Almaty (formerly Alma Ata), in the Intercontinental Hotel and Atakent Exhibition Centre from the 2nd-5th October. The associated KazEnergy Eurasian Forum (a conference only) takes place in Astana’s Palace of Independence on the 2nd and 3rd.

[producing] Co, and the Kazakhstan Association of O&G/Energy Sector Organizations.

The independently organised two-day KazEnergy Eurasian Forum on ‘Shaping a sustainable energy future’ will be focusing on global changes in supply/demand and their associated challenges; industrial development at a time of what are described as ‘new integration initiatives’; general energy efficiency and environmental safety issues; and the developing role of alternative energy sources and unconventionals such as shale gas in this generally very arid region.

Both on- and offshore, Central Asia remains something of a conundrum Global changes Because of the huge international interest in Kazakhstan’s resources, commercial links and future potential outlined above last year’s KIOGE events attracted 450 exhibitors and just under 6,000 visitors, nearly 800 of which attended the formal business conference itself.

The focus of the central event this year will be on all the upstream and downstream issues affecting the entire Central Asian and Caspian energy province.

The exhibition next door will feature oil and gas production and processing equipment, geophysical prospecting, transportation issues, project research and design and construction, engineering, construction and after-sales service, industrial infrastructure and software services.

Summarised, the individual KIOGE conference sessions will focus on E&P activities right across the country, including the Kashagan field; a separate session on gas; downstream developments; technologies review; international co-operation in the region; pipeline development issues; reservoir management; and HSE. A special round table meeting on the 5th will focus on the fostering of local content.

Key contributions will come from the Oil & Gas Ministry itself, KazMunayGas National

Significance Associated events are being organised by or in association with highly influential institutions such as the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative, the World Petroleum Council, the International Energy Agency and IHS CERA. Whatever your interest, business or technical, attendance at one or both of these events is strongly recommended because of the huge significance of the region for ongoing developments in the Gulf, and because nowhere else can so many local officials from what is still a little-known area be met at just one or two locations. ■

HE FOURTH EDITION of Saudi Arabia’s leading oil and gas exhibition opens in Dammam in the easily visited energyand industry-intensive Eastern Region on 24 September.

This year’s Saudi Arabia International Oil & Gas Exhibition runs for three successive days. Oil Review Middle East is once again delighted to have been selected as the official publication of this prestigious event, the largest commercial energy event anywhere in the kingdom.

The previous edition of this widely supported and attended business/technology exhibition attracted more than 250 commercial/institutional exhibitors from 34 countries – an encouraging follow-on to the growth of the year before. A full list of exhibitors both this year and last can be found on the website*.

Readily accessible Just under 8,000 business professionals-only visitors came to SAOGE last time around, two thirds of them from the kingdom itself. Visitors to this year’s event are advised to check the website because opening times are slightly different on each day; entry is once again free of charge.

As well as being readily accessible from the Saudi capital the organisers point out that the exceptionally well equipped Dhahran International Exhibition Center is located just a comfortable hour’s drive from the borders with both Bahrain and Kuwait.

The kingdom’s major international business airport, a hub for most airlines that serve the entire Gulf region and far beyond, is located conveniently close by.

Gold sponsor of this year’s event is the Riyadhheadquartered multinational petrochemicals producer Sabic.

Just under 8,000 business professionals-only visitors came to SAOGE last time around The energy-rich Eastern Province is of course home to Saudi Aramco, and this outstanding event provides an unprecedented opportunity to make and renew contacts in one place with a wide crosssection of industry and government officials in what remains the world’s largest crude oil-producing

A diverse business portfolio ABDULLA FOUAD HOLDING Company was established just as Saudi Arabia was on the verge of great advances in its fledgling oil industry. Sheikh Abdulla Fouad started a small service firm in 1948 with a single contract.

Guided by its founder, the Group has built a significant enterprise in the Kingdom. Its headquarters are in Dammam, with regional offices in Riyadh, Jeddah, Jubail, Abha and the GCC, but its boundaries extend well beyond, with offices in the US, Europe and Asia. The numerous businesses of Abdulla Fouad Holding Co. maintain affiliations with leading specialists in many important fields from around the globe. All are ultimately dedicated to the economic growth of Saudi Arabia. Today, the company claims to be one of the most successful organisations in the region and is ranked among the top 100 companies in Saudi Arabia. The business portfolio of Abdulla Fouad consists of multiple companies and divisions in the industrial, petroleum, chemical, real estate, information technology, medical, industrial security and safety, exploration, rubber technology & manufacturing, construction, commercial, amusements, residential facilities, auction and services sectors. Over 2,000 employees are located throughout Saudi Arabia and other GCC countries with many years of experience in their respective fields. The company says it values ability, teamwork, professionalism, and initiative, which are all focused towards helping its clients to be more successful.

Paramount in oil AT JUST UNDER one-third of the total forms of commercial usage oil remains the world’s leading fuel, and Saudi Arabia is still easily the world’s largest producer with output of 11.16mbd (average) last year. This was a massive 12.7 per cent increase on the year before, necessitated because of various production difficulties in other producing countries and regions.

Output of Russian oil, the only nearest rival, was by contrast up by a mere 1.2 per cent in 2011. As a result the Saudis, via their output and their influence, were once again able to demonstrate that they could make a massive contribution to the stabilisation of the international price of this key commodity, in all markets.

Ability to continue to do this seems to be more or less guaranteed for the foreseeable future because, according to comparative figures collected by BP, the kingdom holds just over 16 per ent of the world’s total proved reserves; others put the figure considerably higher than this. It all depends of course on what precisely is meant by the term “proved”.

But nobody is expecting Saudi Aramco and the kingdom to run out of either crude oil or their ability to act as the leading international price stabiliser anytime soon – within decades, that is - hence the continuing international interest in attendance at the kingdom’s own leading oil and gas show, SAOGE 2012.

Flow and level control expertise

Flame resistant clothing

MAGNETROL SAYS ITS customers' process environments are complex, dynamic, and ever-changing places, and that among them you'll find the most demanding environments on the planet.

To address these diverse control needs, Magnetrol says it offers the broadest range of technological solutions adapted to level and flow control. Without a one-technology bias to restrict them, a Magnetrol representative can provide the best solution for each individual control requirement.

Although the company's early reputation was based upon float and displacer controls, Magnetrol claims to have been at the leading-edge in adapting newer technologies and control systems to process control applications. These include RFcapacitance, ultrasound and guided wave radar.

Products within each technology group are versatile and adaptable for the simple reason there are no ‘stock’ process environments. Customers will find choices in instrumentation that fulfil the specific requirements of their process.

Though all Magnetrol products are designed to meet or exceed its customers' process and control requirements, they are also engineered for longterm value. Ultimately, Magnetrol seeks solutions that reduce operating costs and improve productivity. The company says its goal, in fact, is to create solutions that extend all the way to its customers' bottom line to provide them with a maximum return on their investment.

A key factor in maintaining market leadership for Magnetrol has been the building of a global information and a distribution network. With strategicallyplaced manufacturing on two continents linked by a worldwide distribution system, products get to customers quickly. Magnetrol has also built a global service presence with sales and technical assistance at over 125 locations worldwide. The company is located at Stand 709.

AN EMPLOYER MUST be aware of all hazards in the workplace and take necessary precautions to protect their employees from them, says Bulwark, the world's largest flame resistant (FR) apparel manufacturer.

Where there is threat thermal hazards such as flash fire or electric arc, workers should be wearing proper PPE (personal protective equipment) FR clothing. Wearing FR clothing doesn’t guarantee that an employee won’t sustain burn injury while on the job, but it does give assurance that the extent of the burn injury will be minimised; FR clothing is made to self-extinguish once the source of ignition is removed. Most catastrophic burn injuries occur because everyday wearing apparel, which is non-FR, can ignite and continue to burn if exposed to enough thermal energy.

Statistics show that minimising the extent of burn injury greatly increases the chances of surviving a catastrophic exposure.

Conducting a hazard assessment of the workplace is the first step in understanding the risks in each work environment. Appropriate flame resistant clothing can be selected based on the employer’s evaluation of the workplace hazards. Once the hazards are defined, employers should reference common performance standards which address specific threats. In environments having the potential for flash fire, NFPA 2112 (Standard on Flame-Resistant Garments for Protection of Industrial Personnel Against Flash Fire) is commonly referenced for details concerning the performance and design requirements of appropriate FR clothing. NFPA 2112 requires garments to be certified by a third party organisation.

3D design solutions CADMATIC IS A leading developer and supplier of 3D software for the plant- and ship building industries. The company headquarters are situated in Turku, Finland from where Cadmatic provides design solutions to its large customer base worldwide.

Cadmatic is part of Elomatic Group, one of the biggest engineering companies in Scandinavia.

This certifier, which is independent of the garment manufacturer, tests the raw materials and finished garments and audits the clients’ manufacturing facilities regularly to assure standards are maintained.

Many companies which require FR clothing for their employees have adopted an internal policy of issuing NFPA 2112 certified garments; others take a more general approach and mandate that FR clothing meet the more basic requirements of ASTM 2302 (Standard Performance Specification for Labeling Protective Clothing as Heat and Flame Resistant).

Be warned…… neither NFPA or ASTM has a mechanism for policing against self-serving manufacturers who place misleading labels in their garments. As a result, the purchaser must be vigilant in their efforts to identify fraudulent claims of compliance. There are many examples of garments which are erroneously labeled as meeting certain performance standards when, in fact, they are not. A thorough study of the requirements of the standard is the best defense against these insidious players. NFPA 2112 specifies the exact wording that should appear on the label and also the mark of the third party certifier. Is just the fabric certified or the finished garment? How do you know if it is labeled correctly and the garment is going to protect the wearer? If you are not sure, refer to the standard or contact a trusted expert.

Welded steel pipe expertise on show

THOMAS & BETTS HAS been a leader in providing products for commercial and industrial construction, industrial plant maintenance, repair and operation, electrical utility distribution, communications and original equipment manufacturing for more than 100 years. The company offers one of the broadest product lines in the electrical industry, supplying www.tnb.com over 70 per cent of the items used in a typical electrical application.

More than 6,000 electrical, industrial, specialty and retail distributors stock and sell Thomas & Betts products in their communities. The company also supplies Ty-Met™ stainless steel ties, which it claims are the ultimate solution to install your cables in extreme conditions and hazardous areas, indoor and outdoor, such as the petrochemical and food processing industries, power stations, mining, shipbuilding, offshore and other aggressive environments.

They are made of non-magnetic, 316 grade stainless steel (marine grade), uncoated or fully coated with non-toxic, halogen free polyester coating and they are available in three different types, all of which are available in a broad range of lengths and two different widths, providing extreme levels of tensile strength.

SAUDI STEEL PIPE Company (SSP) says it has been recognised as the kingdom’s premier manufacturer of welded steel pipe since its inception in 1980. SSP claims to be the kingdom's most versatile producer of HFI (high frequency induction) welded steel pipe serving the region's oil and gas, construction, and many other demanding markets.

Today, the company has a production capacity of 240,000 metric tons of high quality HFI welded steel pipe drawing from four distinct production lines for a size range from 1/2" to 20".

SSP says its commitment to quality is readily visible in the investment in sophisticated computer controlled technologies that allow operators to monitor all critical welding variables on a real-time basis throughout the production cycle. This capability has been a key factor in SSP's acceptance as a unique producer of welded steel pipe in the oil and gas sector.

The company’s list of approvals continues to grow in recognition of its commitment to excellence. The API 5L Monogram, ISO, UL Certifications, Saudi Aramco, Shell and Royal Commission, are just a few of SSP's approvals.

Another first for the kingdom, and the region at large, was the establishment of a Hot Induction and Heat Treatment facility capable of producing high quality bends in pipe from 2" to 48" in diameter, with wall thickness up to 50 mm. This investment was welcomed by many of the region's key consumers, such as Saudi Aramco and Sabic.

SSP has invested heavily in building a world-class metallurgical lab with all the tools essential for both innovative product development efforts and comprehensive product quality testing and evaluation.

SSP says each pipe it produces can be traced for its size, grade, wall thickness and process history through different stages of production from its own number given to every pipe.

Within the system there exists a wide range of reports available as part of conformance to API and ISO documentation requirements and individual customer's needs.

Saudi Aramco Review

In the midst of great change and its own corporate transformation, Saudi Arabia’s state-owned oil giant continues to stand as a beacon for stability in an industry better known for its volatility.

Aramco underpins market amidst

supply fears T

HE WORLD’S BIGGEST oil producer, Saudi Arabia, has shown its mettle in recent years - just as disruption to other key suppliers has heightened anxiety levels among customers far and wide.

After the shock of Libya’s civil war in 2011, and now the looming threat of a blockade in the Gulf amid rising tensions over Iran’s nuclear activities, the kingdom has played a vital stabilising role.

At over US$100 per barrel crude oil is not cheap, consumers might say, but if Saudi’s state-owned energy giant Saudi Aramco had not stepped up to the plate in recent years it could well be a great deal more.

Aramco is in a position to do this after completing a mighty project to upgrade its upstream production facilities throughout much of the past decade.

It now holds a total capacity of 12.5mn barrels per day (bpd).

It has already shown its ability to respond quickly to events, such as the shutdown of much of Libya’s 1.7mn bpd output last year, and the decline of Iranian oil exports this year as a result of tightening international sanctions.

Saudi Aramco Review

S12 ORME 6 2012 Aramco 01_Layout 1 13/09/2012 14:47 Page 58

Saudi Aramco has invested in the latest technology as it seeks to expand exploration into new frontier areas

In 2011, Aramco’s daily crude oil production jumped to 9.1mn bpd, compared to 7.9mn bpd the previous year. If anything, it has notched this up even higher this year.

More than half of the Dhahran-based company’s exports are sent to markets in Asia, reflecting a gradual shift from West to East.

Sitting on the world’s largest proven conventional crude oil and condensate reserves, currently estimated at 259.7bn barrels, the kingdom is keen to retain its position of strength for many years to come.

The group continues to plug away in harnessing the nation’s upstream wealth, completing 161 oil exploration and development wells last year alone.

In 2011, it focused on developing the offshore Manifa field, the fifth-largest oilfield in the world, which will further raise production capacity.

And, in true Saudi style, it is an accomplishment of some scale.

With much of the work now complete, the field - which includes various offshore platform decks and 27 man-made islands - will soon be available to pump more oil into the world market if required.

Full Manifa operations are expected to come onstream in December 2014, when the field will be able to produce around 900,000 bpd of Arabian Heavy crude oil.

In addition, the field will also produce 90mn square cubic feet per day of sour gas - equally vital for a domestic economy experiencing rapidlygrowing gas demand - and 65,000 bpd of hydrocarbon condensate.

Gas matters And Manifa is not Saudi Arabia’s only oil and gas project coming online in the near future.

With spare oil production in the tank and more on the way, Aramco has shifted its’ priorities more to gas in recent times.

Saudi Arabia holds the world’s fourth-largest natural gas reserves of 282.6 trillion standard cubic feet, reflecting huge potential not only to meet local needs but also to respond to gas export demand at some point in the future.

58 Oil Review Middle East Issue Six 2012

Maintaining this strong upstream position in the future is a key priority for the Saudi Aramco leadership In 2011, the group’s raw gas production reached an all-time one-day high of 11.2bn square cubic feet per day.

At the end of July, Aramco launched production from the offshore Karan gas field, which is linked by a 110-km subsea pipeline to the onshore Khursaniyah gas plant.

The project itself is significant being the company’s first offshore non-associated gas field development in the Gulf.

Most gas production in Saudi Arabia currently is as a by-product from Aramco’s massive oil production.

This associated gas is funneled into meeting domestic needs, from rising industry and consumer demand, through to an ever-hungry downstream petrochemicals segment.

By 2013, Karan will ultimately produce 1.8bn standard cubic feet per day of raw dry gas to support the kingdom’s Master Gas System.

The huge offshore development consists of five production platform complexes connected to a main tie-in platform.

Discovered in April 2006, the Karan field sits approximately 160-km north of Dhahran, in water depths of between 40-60 metres.

Maintaining this strong upstream position in the future is a key priority for the Saudi Aramco leadership, but this is a challenge with an energy market - and the wider world - in transition.

Upstream areas Last year, Aramco launched a strategic transformation initiative called the Accelerated Transformation Programme (or ATP) designed to steer it through to 2020.

Naturally, the programme is heavily focused on upstream issues such as exploring new frontier

areas like the deep offshore Red Sea and assessing the potential of other unconventional resources, like shale.

But downstream it also includes building a toptier chemicals business and getting more involved in power generation, including renewables, especially solar, and growing total global refining capacity.

Aramco is targeting wholly owned and joint venture downstream output approaching some eight million bpd by the end of the decade, the largest of any oil company on earth.

This includes projects both at home and overseas, notably in big oil consumer markets.

On the refineries side, among the company’s latest projects is the 400,000 bpd Jizan project, near the border with Yemen, for which contract bidding is currently in play.

Perhaps the biggest and most ambitious downstream venture though is the Sadara complex in the Eastern Province, a joint venture with Dow Chemical of the US, where first production is expected in 2015.

Aramco is already involved in another largescale petrochemical complex in the kingdom, with Japan’s Sumitomo Chemical at Rabigh on the Red Sea. But, as these downstream ventures suggest, the company does not act alone, working closely for decades with numerous international oil companies (IOCs) and contractors.

While Aramco is still working closely with these companies across all parts of the industry, the relationship has shifted markedly in recent years.

Overseas contractors are now obliged to work alongside local units in order to generate jobs and boost skills among Saudi Arabia’s youthful population.

An estimated 35 per cent of Saudi nationals are now under the age of 15.

As well as boosting local skills and content in the industry, Aramco is also coping with a massive age transition - by 2016, roughly 40 per cent of its employees will be under 30, reflecting the kingdom’s youthful demographics.

Aramco president and chief executive Khalid alFalihi also this year unveiled a youth enrichment programme that will see two million young Saudis receive critical training from the oil giant by 2020.

It’s a challenging model that Aramco’s leadership is managing, fostering a climate that encourages innovative thinking and solutions, and developing a technology and research and development engine that ranks among the strongest in the world.

And with vast budgets allocated to new upstream and downstream ventures, and with Riyadh keen to ramp-up social projects in the wake of the Arab Spring - that is still unravelling in some places, notably Syria - there is plenty of room for more work and new job opportunities.

For Aramco, it seems these challenges are forcing it to start thinking and acting more like an IOC, re-inventing itself and constantly improving.

On past evidence, there’s no reason to doubt that it is up to the challenge. ■

Aramco Asia office opens in Tokyo AT A RECEPTION in Tokyo recently, Khalid G. Al-Buainain, Saudi Aramco senior vice president of Downstream, inaugurated the establishment of Aramco Asia Japan K.K. (AAJ), a Saudi Aramco affiliate in Japan which is part of the newly organised Aramco Far East companies.

Al-Buainain also introduced Ahmed M. Alkhunaini, the newly appointed representative director of AAJ, to more than 300 guests from various sectors including government, business and academia.

After emphasising Saudi Aramco’s unwavering commitment to the Japanese market which started close to a quarter of a century ago, and praising Japan’s steady recovery from the March 11 earthquake and tsunami last year, AlBuainain introduced Khalid G. Al-Buainain Alkhunaini as the eighth person to head Saudi Aramco’s presence in Tokyo, succeeding predecessors including Al-Buainain himself.

“The newly established entity will build on the long, strong relationship between the two nations. The scope and focus of the new organisation will extend beyond petroleum trade and procurement to areas such as Research and Development, leveraging Saudi Aramco’s newly launched Energy Venture Capital initiative and mutual investment in new technologies supporting the energy industry,” Al-Buainain explained.

Echoing Al-Buainain’s introduction, Alkhunaini said, “It is a great privilege to be assigned as the first head of AAJ, picking up the baton from prominent pioneers. The launch of Aramco Asia Japan is our way, at Saudi Aramco, to display our commitment as a longterm stable energy supplier to this country, as well as a strategic partner in seeking the highest quality services that Japan can offer to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia’s oil industry had first opened its representative office in Tokyo in 1984. Then, Saudi Aramco established Saudi Petroleum Overseas Tokyo Office in 1990.

The newly inaugurated AAJ is integrating supporting functions for all Saudi Aramco’s business activities in Japan, ranging from marketing to procurement, and is staffed with about 50 employees.

The office is located at 26th floor of Marunouchi Building, in the most prestigious area in Tokyo, overlooking the Imperial Palace.

Saudi Aramco Review

Swing away NEVER HAS THE old OPEC adage, ‘swing producer’ - a term applied to Saudi Arabia for its decisive ability to shift production at the twist of an oil tap - been more apt.

At times this year, the world's largest oil producer has been pumping close to a billion dollars worth of crude a day, analysts estimate.

Although output has now dropped back slightly, last year the company averaged a staggering 11.1mn bpd, according to BP figures - although this includes natural gas liquids as well as conventional crude oil - up from 9.9mn bpd in 2010.

This production clout - and enormous responsibility - was highlighted by Aramco’s president and chief executive, Khalid al-Falih, at

a recent seminar at a leading business school in the USA. “Our ability to make up for production shortfalls elsewhere around the world has been demonstrated many times over the decades, most recently when Libyan supplies were disrupted last year,” he told delegates.

Last year, Libya’s oil production virtually dried up as civil war erupted on the nation’s streets.

After averaging around 1.7mn bpd in recent years, the North African state’s production averaged just 479,000 bpd in 2011, according to BP numbers.

And fluctuating production from countries such as Nigeria has also challenged OPEC’s membership through much of the past decade.

Future look Aramco INVESTING IN NEW technology - from advanced drilling techniques through to more eco-friendly fuels - forms a central plank of Aramco’s future growth vision, just as it does across the energy industry the world over.

International oil companies have thrived and survived for years because of their uncanny ability to adapt to the business conditions of the age.

This has meant massive support for research and development in new technology.

And state-owned Aramco is no different as it gears up for the decades ahead in what is a very uncertain and challenging social, economic and political global backdrop.

With plans to tackle new frontier territories such as drilling the deep offshore Red Sea and venturing into more sophisticated downstream areas Aramco is embracing all new technologies that can help give it the edge.

In July, it launched a new subsidiary, Saudi Aramco Energy Ventures, to invest in emerging energy technologies and companies, both at home and abroad.

The new unit, with offices in Europe and the US,

Saudi Aramco, as the oil cartel’s so-called swing producer, has always risen to the challenge.

Al-Falih said that Aramco continues to play a critical role in helping to stabilise oil markets and help reduce volatility.

“No one else has the capacity or capabilities we do, and that requires large investments, operational excellence, and political prowess,” he said.

And the volatility of the oil market is not likely to go away anytime soon either.

If production from Iran is cut further - in July, the Islamic Republic’s crude oil exports hit 1.3mn bpd, down from around 2.1mn bpd in 2011 - then Aramco will be asked to step up to the plate once again.

Technology investment as well as Dhahran, will target start-up and high growth companies which can generate greater value through innovative upstream and downstream technologies as well as from renewable energy, water and energy efficiency technologies.

Just before this, Aramco signed up for another technology pact with the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the US. This initiative aims to boost R&D in areas such as geophysics, reservoir modelling, simulation and energy efficiency.

Clearly, the intention is not only to boost the group’s traditional strengths in the field, but also to get to grips with multiple other challenges, such as managing soaring domestic demand, a problem hurting the country’s economy as a whole.

New energy technologies are likely to play a big role in alleviating the kingdom’s own heavy consumption of oil and gas, which remains very high comparative to the nation’s size.

For Aramco, it’s a journey that should establish the company at the forefront of tomorrow’s oil and gas business, whatever that may look like.

SAUDI ARAMCO WILL invest as much as US$120mn a year in European startup companies through a Norwegian venture capital firm to strengthen its technological knowhow.

Aramco signed a deal with Oslo-based Energy Capital Management, which previously managed investments for Statoil ASA (STL), Norway’s largest oil and gas producer, it said in a statement. Investments will focus on technology companies specialising in so-called unconventional and tight gas production, as well as drilling and seismic technologies, Arne Froeiland,

Training receives international accreditation THE INTERNATIONALLY KNOWN Accrediting Council for Continuing Education and Training (ACCET) has recognised Saudi Aramco’s Training & Development (T&D) as one of the leading training organisations in the world.

This is the fifth time since 1993 when Saudi Aramco’s job skills training centers were accredited for the first time.

The ACCET recently examined T&D’s academic, job skills and professional training centers and re-accredited them for five more years, while extending accreditation for the first time not only to four more T&D entities — the Professional English Language Center, the College Preparatory Center, the Corporate Safety Training and the Driver/Heavy Equipment Training Operation Unit, but also to one of the local training providers, namely the Saudi Petroleum Services Polytechnic (SPSP). T&D is one of some 225 training organisations in the world with ACCET accreditation.

It should be known that ACCET is the only accrediting agency recognised by both the U.S. Department of Education and the International Organisation for Standardisation as a reliable authority on the quality of educational services and programmes.

The cyber attack originated from external sources and affected about 30,000 workstations.

Saudi Aramco president and chief executive officer Khalid Al-Falih said, “We addressed the threat immediately and our precautionary procedures, which have been in place to counter such threats, and our multiple protective systems, have helped to mitigate these deplorable cyber threats from spiralling."

Al-Falih confirmed that exploration, producing, exports and distribution operations remained intact, as did all production plants, because they function on isolated systems.

Aramco to implement Quadrise technology in refineries QUADRISE FUELS’S MSAR technology will be implemented in Saudi Aramco refineries as part of a new agreement between Saudi Arabiabased Rafid Group and the British fuel technology firm.

A Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) has been signed between Quadrise International Limited and Quadrise KSA Limited, both Quadrise group companies, and Rafid.

Quadrise said in a statement that the MOA commits the parties to an exclusive relationship within Saudi Arabia. In addition, when contract terms are finalised for the first MSAR process installation in a major refinery in the country, Quadrise and Rafid will form a joint venture company to undertake all further business in which Rafid will hold an interest of up to 30 per cent.

MSAR has been marketed by Quadrise as a low-cost alternative to heavy fuel oil in the shipping, refining and power generation markets.

The firm said the chemical process of MSAR allows the production of fuel oil without the need for diesel, resulting in potential cost savings and cheaper power generation in Saudi Arabia.

Quadrise chairman Ian Williams said, "We are delighted to have concluded this agreement with Rafid. Saudi Arabia is a key market with enormous business potential for Quadrise, especially as the government seeks to optimise energy resources in the Kingdom."

Commenting on the agreement, chairman of Rafid, Abdul Aziz Al Mandil, remarked, “MSAR technology offers great benefits for both Saudi Aramco and the kingdom at large. The approval of MSAR technology by Saudi Aramco is a major milestone.”

Supporting the Kingdom's hydrocarbon sector OIL REVIEW SPOKE to Asad Iqbal Khan, AES Arabia’s manager of international sales, about the company's operations in Saudi Arabia and its recent projects with Saudi Aramco.

AES Arabia design and manufacture water treatment plants such as sea and brackish water reverse osmosis desalination plant, filtration systems, produced water treatment plants, as well as chemical injection / dosing skids.

The company’s headquarters are located in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and it also has branch offices in Khobar and Jeddah. In addition the firm has offices in the US and Europe.

Khan stated, “We carry out design and manufacturing activities out of our Riyadh regional office and factory. We are in the phase of aggressive implementation of the planned expansion of our business in the MENA region."

In the hydrocarbon sector AES Arabia works wherever there is requirement for the utilities for potabilisation at any stage of the project whether it is onshore, offshore, upstream or downstream.

Khan remarked that the offshore platform business in particular has picked up significantly in 2012.

"We are solution provider for the utilities such as water and waste water for all the applications and we have started giving this solution for the offshore platform as well. The design plays a very vital role in offshore platforms because we need to keep the space and weight in consideration while designing water treatment plants for offshore platforms."

AES Arabia works with the major oil and gas players in the region including Saudi Aramco, ADNOC, SABIC, PDO, Technip, JGC, Samsung Engineering, SKEC and Sonatrach.

Khan discussed a recent venture in which

the firm was executing projects for Shaybah LNG project and Wasit gas programme, mega projects with Samsung Engineering and SKEC to design, manufacture and supply high brackish reverse osmosis plants and chemical injection skids.

Saudi Aramco connections Khan explained that AES Arabia has been working with Saudi Aramco for more than a decade on several mega projects either directly or through the EPC contractors.

A recent milestone for the company was getting the approval by Saudi Aramco to be one of its vendors for the Saudi oil giant’s pressure vessels. The design and manufacture of the pressure vessels will all be done in-house and AES Arabia has a team of professional engineers dedicated to working on their design, implementation and production.

Khan commented: “It is not easy to get ASME certified specially for pressure vessels for several applications. Getting Saudi Aramco approval proves the quality control we maintain.

Saudi Aramco approval is very

important for us because most of the project we do, the requirement is always for the ASME pressure vessels," Khan added.

In addition, the company has a wide range of engineered products already approved by Saudi Aramco and importantly the company is the preferred supplier of water and waste water treatment plants and chemical injection skids.

AES Arabia is certified to the highest international standards of quality ISO 9001:2008, ASME and NSF. Khan also discussed another recent project that the firm completed for Aramco in which AES Arabia was given appreciation award from JGC Yokohama for successful start of a 28,000 CMD Sea Water RO plant for Tanajib sea water treatment facility in Manifa Central Area, where JGC was the main contractor and the end user was Saudi Aramco.

McDermott awarded two Saudi Aramco contracts US-BASED ENGINEERING GROUP McDermott was awarded two contracts from Saudi Aramco for projects on the Karan, Safaniya and Zuluf fields in the Arabian Gulf.

The first project is at Karan-45 and McDermott is set to build a new wellhead platform as well as an auxiliary platform, a jacket and link bridge. It will also undertake subsea installation of a 20-inch flowline and a 15kV composite power and fiber optic cable.

“As we near completion of the 39 structures originally awarded under the Karan contract in March 2009, the experience gained has given us an indepth knowledge of the specific field characteristics and project requirements,” said McDermott president and chief executive officer Steve Johnson.

Fabrication will take place at the company’s Jebel Ali facility in the UAE and the offshore scope will be undertaken by vessels from McDermott’s

64 Oil Review Middle East Issue Six 2012

global fleet. The first project is scheduled to be completed by the first quarter of 2014.

For the second project, issued under the existing Long-Term Agreement, McDermott is to procure flexible flowlines and build, transport and install pipelines and subsea tie-ins.

Procurement and fabrication will once again be done at Jebel Ali with installation to be completed by the end of the first quarter next year.

The Karan offshore gas field is Saudi Aramco first offshore non-associated gas field project. It was first discovered in April 2006 and lies 160km north of Dhahran.

Karan, designed to produce 1.8 billion standard cubic feet per day (SCFD) of raw dry gas by 2013 to support the Kingdom’s Master Gas System (MGS), will be produced from 21 increment wells distributed over five offshore wellhead platforms.

Saudi Arabia’s industrial cities of Jubail and Yanbu have in a very short time become world-class petrochemical and energy hubs and are set to contribute more and more to the Kingdom’s economic growth

Jubail and Yanbu become global

downstream hubs J

UBAIL INDUSTRIAL City is situated on the Arabian Gulf and its twin city, Yanbu is located 350 km north of Jeddah on the Red Sea. Both cities are run by the Royal Commission of Jubail and Yanbu (RCJY) which has direct supervision over the construction, operation, development of both cities.

The autonomous organisation, which was set up in 1975,has the main aim of driving the economic expansion of these two cities, especially with regards to the successful settlement of petrochemical and energyintensive industries. These industries in turn will utilise the Kingdom’s mineral resources and feedstock.

According to RCJY, Jubail produces 7 per cent of the world’s petrochemicals and contributes 11.5 per cent of the Kingdom’s nonoil GDP. The annual contribution to Saudi's GDP indicates the growth of the industrial cities’ economy.

The industrial cities also account for 70 per cent of the Kingdom’s industrial exports and 85 per cent of non-oil exports. This is because the King Fahd Industrial Port in Jubail is one of the Kingdom’s key outlets and acts as a gateway from Saudi to the world marketplace.

The port extends over 12 km along the Gulf coast and has been designed to accommodate super tankers and prefabricated modules. It provides extensive storage facilities for petroleum products and petrochemicals. The amount of cargo handled at the port has increased year on year.

A major focus of the Royal Commission is to improve the investment environment of Jubail and Yanbu, which contribute to Saudi Arabia's position as main foreign investment destination in the Middle East. The average annual growth rate of FDI in Jubail and Yanbu from 2006 to 2010 was 20.21 per cent. While, total investment in both cities by the Royal Commission and the private sector has now hit US$207bn.

The Royal Commission is constantly looking on up-grading and increasing the capacity of the infrastructure in both cities alongside

Jubail produces seven per cent of the world’s petrochemicals and contributes 11.5 per cent of the Kingdom’s non-oil GDP

paving the way for greater private sector involvement in the development and growth of the two cities. RCJY is planning over 502 km2 in expansions of the industrial land in Jubail and Yanbu.

Jubail growth Since its inception in 1975, Jubail has become the largest petrochemical complex in the world.

The industrial spectrum in Jubail ranges from primary industries which include a large number of petrochemical plants including Saudi Iron and Steel Company (Hadeed) and Saudi Aramco Shell Refinery Co. (Sasref); secondary industries which use the primary industries products through further processes that yield petrochemical intermediates, plastic and steel products.

The Royal Commission has said that its objective in Jubail is to attract foreign and domestic investment, stay competitive and achieve sustainable product growth and worldclass safety and environmental levels.

The main focus at Jubail is the ongoing development of the Jubail II project which is a 8,300-hectare expansion of the city’s industrial and residential areas.

Jubail II will add a second industrial area to house up to 22 new primary industries. The project includes the expansion of King Fahd Industrial Port, pipeline refurbishment, increasing capacity of the cooling system, and new desalination plants.

Around 42 companies have applied for Jubail II but none are operating as of yet. 2013 will see the completion of one of the most ambitious projects in Jubail II, Satorp’s Jubail Export Refinery. Satorp is a joint venture between Saudi Aramco and France's Total. The refinery will process 400,000 barrels a day of crude and it will cost US$14bn.

Remote mountable for hazardous locations THE FUTURE-READY ST100 Series Thermal Mass Air/Gas Flow Meter from Fluid Components International (FCI) is now available in a remote mountable configuration, suitable for applications in hazardous areas or hard-to-reach locations.

Remote mount flow meters are ideal for equipment crowded plants or hazardous factory areas where combustible or toxic gases may be present near the transmitter’s electronics. The ST100’s remote mount transmitter, with optional digital display, can be mounted up to 300 meters away from the flow sensor using interconnecting cable.

The manufacturer claims it is setting a new industry benchmark for process and plant air/gas flow measurement instrumentation with the ST100 Series Flow Meter. It offers feature-rich and function-rich electronics. FCI claim it also offers superior flow sensing performance to deliver excellent adaptability and value, meeting plant gas flow measurement applications for today and tomorrow.

The creation of the ST100 Series Air/Gas Flow Meter was facilitated by discussions with a wide range of instrument, process and plant engineers, who wanted more comprehensive measurement information as well as the flexibility to adapt to future plant and process control technology they might deploy.

The ST100 Flow Meter continuously measures, apparently displays and transmits the industry’s most extensive array of parameters. It is available with 4-20 mA analogue, frequency/pulse, alarm relays or digital bus communications such as HART, Fieldbus, Profibus or Modbus.

The ST100 Flow Meter also adapts as necessary to plants’ changing needs or desire for upgrades with a plug-in card replacement that can be changed out by plant technicians in the field, taking ‘never obsolete’ to a whole new level.

Corrosion monitoring device CORDEX INSTRUMENTS HAS launched its next generation corrosion monitoring device which it says streamlines readings gathered in the field and enables users to monitor integrity levels at specific points on an asset or pipeline.

The latest UT5000 Intrinsically Safe Thickness Gauge was unveiled at the Offshore Technology Conference in Houston.

The gauge, which can be used for nondestructive testing to establish the extent of corrosion, boasts several updates including intelligent measuring technology which can record multiple readings at specific locations.

A total of nine multi-point readings can now be saved against each Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag on the asset or The UT5000 pipeline which greatly reduces time spent in the field and increases the effectiveness and efficiency of corrosion monitoring.

The device, which provides accurate thickness readings to the nearest thousandth of an inch, now also uses the latest Echo-Echo technology which has the ability to read metal thickness levels, even through a painted surface.

The UT5000, which is ATEX and IECEx certified for Ex ib IIC T4 Gb and Ex ibD IIIB T200˚C Db hazardous areas, has also achieved its dust certification and can be used in dust environments which have been assessed as having an explosion risk.

Deepwater drilling breakthrough

Optimum sealing solutions

GE SAYS ITS new MaxLift 1800 pump system will pave the way for the use of dual gradient drilling (DGD) technology in challenging deepwater applications.

They claim DGD significantly lessens the impact of the water column on deepwater drilling. In addition, drillers can reach reservoirs that are impractical to access using conventional single gradient drilling. The net effect of DGD will help optimise the productivity, safety and efficiency of deepwater wells.

To achieve a dual gradient, flow from a well being drilled is diverted to the MaxLift 1800 pump, which is located above www.ge.com the blow out preventer and pumps the cuttings-laden mud back to the drilling vessel in an auxiliary line. The riser is then filled with seawater density fluid, so the reservoir ‘feels’ as if the rig is located on the seabed since the MaxLift pumps prevent the hydrostatic pressure of the mud from being transmitted back to the wellbore. The new GE pump can deliver up to 1,800 gpm at discharge pressures up to 6,600 psi.

The DGD system gives operators a tool to manage the downhole environment while drilling, resulting in longer casing strings and/or larger diameter completions.

GE says the DGD system increases drilling efficiency while lowering mechanical risk and well costs.

AFTER AN EXTENDED programme of third-party testing, Trelleborg Sealing Solutions, a global developer and manufacturer of sealing and bearing products, now has 21 best-in-class materials qualified to all elements of the stringent NORSOK M-710 specification.

Intelligent wireline intervention SCHLUMBERGER HAS LAUNCHED the ReSOLVE* instrumented wireline intervention service, a modular system of intelligent wirelinedeployed services that apparently provides real-time measurement and control in a small footprint.

“The downhole intelligence of ReSOLVE services enables our customers to see intervention operations at a level of detail not previously possible,” said Catherine MacGregor, president, Schlumberger Wireline.

“With this unique technology, more complex operations can be performed, such as selective sleeve shifting or safety valve performance evaluation, with unprecedented success.”

This modular system of services comprises a high-force linear actuator, a universal shifting tool (UST), a hydraulic setting tool and a milling tool. The high-force linear actuator shifts downhole valves, pulls retrievable plugs, and can perform fishing operations while monitoring force and displacement in real time.

The UST is a field-configurable, high-expansion shifting tool that can selectively shift devices, even below restrictions. The plug and packer setting tool operates hydraulically, eliminating the need for explosives. The milling tool removes scale and other obstructions from wellbore tubulars while automatically controlling weight-on-bit to maximize rate of penetration.

In the Middle East, the ReSOLVE UST was deployed to selectively shift 10 valves in a horizontal multizone completion. Real-time confirmation of shifting eliminated the need for production logging to verify the valves had shifted.

What do pounding sandstorms, soaring temperatures and a modern natural gas processing facility have in common?

They’re all found in the Sahara Desert – including a natural gas plant which needed a new gas compression turbine and controls. Protecting that equipment from the harsh desert environment found in Algeria is not easy. So the company asked for a blast-resistant, walk-in enclosure that would protect workers and stand up to the elements.

Safety first in the

Sahara T

HE POWER CONTROLS needed to be sheltered to allow uninterrupted process operations, whether or not an explosive event occurs. The project objective was to maintain production levels, using gas turbines to drive the gas compressors.

The manufacturer providing the new turbine asked Rockwell Automation to design the unit’s electronic and electrical controls. In 2007, Rockwell Automation enlisted its Encompass Product Partner Lectrus Corp. to integrate generator and motor control centers (MCC) into a blast-resistant, walk-in metal enclosure.

Rockwell Automation needed an enclosure that could withstand a 2.5-psi blast load for 60 ms duration and endure an environment of abrasive sandstorms and temperatures up to 131˚F. “We wanted to partner with someone who would over-design a shelter the customer would never have to worry about on-site in Algeria,” says Ken Litwicki, senior application engineer at Rockwell Automation.

“Lectrus performed the preliminary computer and physical testing, and had decades of experience building shelters. We knew we could be confident in their abilities to tailor an enclosure to our specs, so we really listened to them,” he says.

The Lectrus blast-resistant electrical equipment center (BREC) design meets NEMA 3R, and can meet NFPA 496 Pressurization Standards for explosive environments.

“This electrical equipment enclosure is IEC rated because the unit is going into the Saharan region. And although they’re walk-in, they’re not classified as occupied structures,” says Dave Cole, vice president of engineering at Lectrus.

In November 2008, the project began taking substantive form: The first in a series of drawings was generated based on a spec of 14 ft. x 35 ft.

“A common requirement for this industry is that the enclosures need to be pressurised,” explains Matt Rich, Lectrus’ project manager. “You do not want things like coal dust, volatile chemical vapours, blowing sand or most other foreign elements entering these enclosures. The positive pressure inside the enclosure ensures that virtually all foreign objects and volatile gases remain outside.

“Every entrance into the enclosure, whether it was the entry air for air conditioning, or otherwise, incorporates [pressurisation]. In the event of a blast, there are blast dampers that have been designed into the structure to automatically shut and prohibit contamination from that event immediately. There’s a battery room as well, that

The natural gas plant needed a new gas compression turbine and controls

Global demand for oil and gas continues to grow. So the need for process efficiency and safety is more important than ever houses a DC power system,” Rich adds.

The batteries vent off small amounts of hydrogen gas that must be exhausted. The battery room also has its own separate system of blast dampers built in, similar to those used in the HVAC

system that vents and cools the entire enclosure.

The completed, 75,000-lb. blast-resistant enclosure is of Lectrus Type III construction – a 1/4-in.-crimped steel plate, seam-welded outer wall, backed by a structural steel frame. The wall is eight inches thick with a smooth interior wall, 5-psi blast-rated doors, two air-lock entry rooms and blast dampers for HVAC. Although an ultimate load rating for this structure has not yet been precisely determined, it’s expected that the enclosure could withstand blast loads as high as 4.25 psi or more.

Rich describes an unusual aspect of the enclosure. “In our design, the air conditioning

“Another benefit is that there’s a lot of room for operational add-ons and changes in the future”

system is 100 per cent redundant. We had two full-blown air conditioners built into one housing ... pure, one-of-a-kind, custom design.”

“We had a blast shield designed and built around the air conditioner, which is a very unusual design to incorporate into an otherwise standard, single-unit module),” Rich explains. “The air conditioner’s not normally considered a critical component. But in this instance, we designed and built this blast shield around the units to keep the system redundant – and because the design criterion for the air conditioner was 131˚F on the upper end. “[Given the] customer’s location in the Sahara desert, the redundancy in the HVAC system predicated our running with this one-off design and configuration,” he says.

When Lectrus and Rockwell Automation arrived at the project’s construction phase, the expected and need-by dates had changed. In addition, the turbine manufacturer had gone into overdrive. Lectrus originally had 20 weeks to complete the enclosure, but they completed it in just eight weeks.

Because of the timing aspects involved, Lectrus worked closely with Rockwell Automation installing electrical equipment and controls. Both Rockwell Automation and the turbine OEM have continued to evolve the design since the enclosure was placed on site at the turbine manufacturer.

Original completion and shipment of the enclosure was August 2009. At that time, and with the timeline for completion requested by the customer, Lectrus had deliverables yet to be incorporated within the unit. Because of this,

Figure 1: The turbine’s control centre enclosure includes blast-protection enclosing a speciallydesigned cooling unit

the unit remained a work in progress, even though the original enclosure was completed in August.

Using the Integrated Architecture, Rockwell Automation provided the turbine with the ability to gather data by connecting the embedded programmable automation controllers and the unit control panels (UCPs), into MCC. Operating within the safe environment of the BREC, the Integrated

In addition, the architecture is fully redundant, ensuring safe, 24/7 operation that is fully protected

by Lectrus’ uniquely-configured enclosure.

“Another benefit is that there’s a lot of room for operational add-ons and changes in the future,” Exterior view of the blast-resistant equipment centre.

Litwicki explains.

“The operation today is the result of many labour-hours and suggestions fitted to a single solution. We made it so that new things could be plugged in, so to speak, and new devices could be added into our embedded architecture,” he says.

The global demand for oil and gas continues to grow, so the need for process efficiency and safety is more important than ever. This project may be unique, but it’s a typical scenario not only for delivering on customer needs, but moving beyond with extra protection, redundancy and future add-on adaptability. n

SATORP has chosen AVEVA NET product suite to manage its engineering data in a single consolidated environment

SATORP picks AVEVA solutions for

digital hub S

AUDI ARAMCO TOTAL Refinery and Petrochemical Company (SATORP) has picked AVEVA NET from the AVEVA Enterprise portfolio to provide the core Digital Information Hub for its Engineering Document Management Solution (EDMS).

SATORP's implementation of AVEVA NET is the first time that SATORP has worked with AVEVA. AVEVA's senior vice president, Russia India and Middle East, Evgeny Fedotov explained the process the company had to go through to win the prestigious contract and that technically AVEVA scored the highest amongst all of the alternative solutions, making it the obvious choice for this important project.

“We had to demonstrate to SATORP, through a detailed Proof of Concept, that we are able to load and view data from many third-party sources.

SATORP will now benefit from improved project and asset performance, starting at project inception, through handover and commissioning, and throughout the lifecycle of the asset.”

SATORP is a joint venture between Saudi Aramco and Total. SATORP is building a world-class refinery that is scheduled to start operation in 2013. The Jubail Refinery will produce a high proportion of white products such as diesel, gasoline, LPG, petrochemicals, and jet fuels from heavy crude.

The implementation, of AVEVA NET and AVEVA Data and Documents, will manage all engineering information for the Jubail refinery project. AVEVA Data and Documents and AVEVA NET Gateways are technologies that enable information to be shared from other third-party applications.

Gateways are the key to the data interoperability power of AVEVA NET, enabling comprehensive, enterprise-wide access to all types of engineering, design, project, or business data, without the need for numerous costly authoring applications or specialist user training. In addition, AVEVA NET will be able to link to DCS and 3D Virtualisation applications at SATORP. A key criterion in the selection process was AVEVA NET’s capability to organise and consolidate all engineering data and documents from many different sources into a single hub.

These can then be quality checked, validated and accessed across the enterprise via an intuitive web browser interface.

Through tight integration with the AVEVA NET suite, AVEVA Data and Documents makes all its managed information immediately accessible through the intuitive web interface, enabling

88 Oil Review Middle East Issue Six 2012

AVEVA Architecture Diagram for SATORP explaining how AVEVA solutions work in SATORP’s environment

users to navigate, contextualise, share, report and visualise information and documents regardless of type.

Mohammad Al-Ruwaii, ICT Manager of SATORP said, “AVEVA’s solution is based on an informationcentric model, rather than an application-centric approach, which was a very important factor in our final decision.

AVEVA NET will be able to link to DCS and 3D Virtualisation applications at SATORP “We require a common and controlled environment for all engineering data and documents from our EPC contractors as part of the handover process at the end of the Jubail refinery construction phase. The engineering data being delivered is primarily from non-AVEVA applications.

Thanks to AVEVA NET’s open architecture we can access and validate information from virtually any application regardless of vendor; an invaluable capability for commissioning."

After deployment SATORP will continue to use the AVEVA solution for through-life operations.

Powerful solutions AVEVA NET is a suite of powerful and secure information management solutions that enable the collation, contextualisation, validation and visualisation of all project and asset data and documents. It seamlessly links data from all available sources: 3D models, drawings, real-time instrumentation data, P&IDs, piping isometrics, photographic data, spreadsheets, laser models, and many more. AVEVA NET provides global access by all disciplines to an entire information asset, providing consistent, complete and validated data that enables more efficient asset operation, saves costs and can reduce operational risk.

Importantly all information can originate from AVEVA or third-party software, a factor in attracting SATORP to AVEVA's product.

The other componeant of AVEVA's eneterpirse offering, AVEVA Data and Documents, enables enables Owner Operators and EPCs to take control of their asset or project information, enabling operational efficiencies and man-hour savings to be gained through process-driven management of documents and data registers.

"We look forward to the successful completion of our initial implementation and the use of the AVEVA software as part of our long-term operational strategy for this high-profile asset,” Al-Ruwaii added. ■

Wireless interface integration EMERSON PROCESS MANAGEMENT has launched a WirelessHART Interface for use with its oil and gas Remote Terminal Units (RTUs).

The IEC62591 compliant interface directly integrates Smart Wireless networks with Emerson’s family of remote terminal units and flow computers including ROC800, FloBoss, and ControlWave RTUs. "The constant demand for oil and gas has forced the upstream market to apply new unconventional methods of extracting hydrocarbon liquids," said president, Emerson Process Managementremote automation solutions, Craig Llewellyn.

The new interface speeds seamless integration and installation. With the interface installed, the RTU auto-detects the WirelessHART devices by sensing them as they are on or added to the network.

There is no site survey required, making it easy and fast to set up the wireless field instrumentation, saving time and money.

With the combined power of the RTUs the wellhead operation is reliable and more effective. As the Smart Wireless mesh network enables wireless field devices to automatically find alternate communications paths, avoiding obstacles so users have flexibility during setup.

The IEC62591 mesh communications approach means that communications reliability stands at 99 per cent, Emerson said in a statement.

The networks implement encryption, authentication, verification, anti-
