The EIC Chief Executive

The Chief Executive

Welcome to the June edition of the EIC Monthly News, and the onset of sunnier days brings a range of positive news for the industry. The EIC enjoyed another successful year at OTC; opportunities are emerging in Mexico and across Africa; the PNR sector shows signs of recovery; and the UK welcomes a new Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change. The EIC had another successful year at the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) 2015 in Houston at the beginning of May. This was the 15th year that the EIC organised the UK Pavilion, which consisted of 53 companies, and was also the debut of Amanda Duhon, the EIC’s new Regional Manager for North and Central America. Together with EIC Head of Americas Clarisse Rocha, she met with member companies to assist them explore opportunities in the region. Despite the downturn in the oil and gas industry, this year saw the sixth highest attendance in OTC’s history, which is a positive indicator for the future. Doing business in the energy markets of Brazil and Mexico was a key theme of OTC this year, something I also witnessed during my recent visit to Mexico City. I met with state-owned petroleum company Pemex, and working with the contracting fraternity we are looking to set out a strategy to engage the UK supply chain with the upcoming opportunities. Mexico’s National Hydrocarbons Commission also recently announced that it is discussing a five-year plan for bidding on hydrocarbons exploration and production, which will open new opportunities. As always, EICDataStream tracks details of new and ongoing projects in Mexico and beyond as soon as they are announced. While OTC was underway, the UK went to the polls and elected a Conservative government, with Amber Rudd confirmed as Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change in the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC). She comes to the role with extensive knowledge of the sector, having been involved with DECC through the previous government. In the preceding coalition, the Conservatives left the direction of DECC mainly to their Lib Dem colleagues so it will be interesting to see how manifesto commitments including increasing market competition, deploying energy efficiency measures, tapping into shale gas reserves and ending any new public subsidy for onshore wind will play out. Turning to power, nuclear and renewables, the latest PNR Monitor in this issue shows encouraging signs of recovery. The number of major contract awards in the power industry increased during the last quarter, especially across thermal, nuclear and biomass developments. However, there was a significant downturn in wind turbine supply contract awards in the UK. Our upstream sector analysis shows exciting developments across Africa, with six out of the top ten discoveries in 2013 made in the continent. With substantial gas reserves and some of the world’s largest proposed developments, Tanzania and Mozambique in particular are set to emerge as new frontiers, if they can attract much-needed investment. We at the EIC remain committed to supporting our members in making the most of business opportunities throughout the world.

African exploration fighting against the curve

Although several companies have cut back on their global exploration budgets, Sub-Saharan Africa continues to attract activity, led by emerging oil and gas hotspots in Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique and Uganda in the East African Rift system. The west coast of Africa is also being actively explored, with much attention paid to the West African Transform Margin area consisting of Ghana, Guinea Bissau, Ivory Coast and Senegal. Despite the low oil price, these areas have proven attractive due to recent discoveries, high exploration success rates and relatively low operating costs. Continued activity is also evidenced by the less significant drop in rig count when compared to other regions, indicating significant ongoing drilling operations. Major discoveries in East Africa have seen exploration operations continue in the region, while the discovery of further reserves is anticipated due to the under exploration of the area. Offshore exploration operations are planned for the west coast of Africa due to the recent discoveries offshore Ghana and Senegal, which have highlighted the area’s potential. With a high success rate of 65%, the area is seen as crucial for African hydrocarbons; hence the continued effort by Chevron, Tullow and Cairn Energy to explore the region despite low oil prices. Additionally, some mature producers, such as Congo (Brazzaville), Cameroon and Gabon are planning exploration, which in most cases is supported by low operating costs and affordable labour. The falling price of drilling operations is another reason why exploration activities have continued in Africa. Offshore exploration well-drilling costs were previously around US$100 million per well in East Africa and US$6070 million in frontier West Africa, but have fallen due to the drop in oil prices. Operators have also adopted strict cost-control mechanisms to mitigate against unwarranted expenses and therefore maintain these operations. Cairn Energy’s FAN-1 and SNE-1 discoveries in the Sangomar Deep block, offshore Senegal, have increased optimism of a new frontier in West Africa and is a good example of the potential rewards of further exploration in the region. Initial estimates for the FAN-1 discovery range from 250 MMbbl to 2.5 billion barrels of oil equivalent, with oil types having a gravity ranging from 28 degrees API to 41 degrees API, while the SNE-1 discovery has a P50 estimate of 330 MMbbl of recoverable oil with a gravity of 32 degrees API. It is thought that the discoveries are of a scale that will support a stand-alone development on each. However, differing reservoir qualities will lead to a difference in the project sanction timetable between the two. The SNE reservoir is excellent and the structure is very well defined, as opposed to the FAN discovery which is more complex geologically as there is evidence of a number of hydrocarbon columns with a range of pressure regimes and different oils. Cairn has committed to drilling three firm wells with an option for three more.

Two appraisal wells will be drilled on the SNE-1 discovery, with possibly one or two drilled on FAN-1. Cairn plans to first develop the SNE field as a standalone FPSO hub, with the potential for integration of nearby discoveries. The minimum economic field size for a standalone development has been put at around 200 MMbbl, with the minimum field size for a tie-back put at 75 MMbbl. The basic play model is similar along the entire paleo continental shelf edge from Senegal to Guinea-Bissau and the discovery proves up the existence of a petroleum system that could open up exploration along the entire ~800km coastline, just as the Jubilee discovery did for Ghana, Sierra Leone and Liberia in 2007. Following the discoveries made by Cairn, Impact Oil and Gas (a Londonbased junior) secured access to a promising block in the Senegal-Guinea Bissau joint development zone. The Africa-focussed explorer has taken operatorship of the AGC Profound block, which was previously operated by Ophir Energy, which drilled the unsuccessful Kora-1 exploration well in 2011. However, Impact believes the license remains very prospective, particularly for Cretaceous fans which were the targeted play of Cairn’s Fan-1 wildcat. Impact has already identified one potentially drillable prospect, which they expect to drill after it acquires, reprocesses and interprets existing data on the licence – possibly in 2017. Sub-Saharan Africa can expect to see substantial investment in its oil and gas resources, as these recent discoveries continue to attract companies to explore its vast deposits despite the low oil price. This is further supported by the most recent discovery made by Statoil offshore Tanzania in March 2015, with the drilling of the Mdalasini-1 exploration well, which discovered 1-1.8 Tcf of gas. The region has shown resilience to falling oil prices, with exploration activities being planned and implemented, due to its lower cost environment and supported by recent commercially viable discoveries.

EIC Monitor

Signs of a slow recovery for power sector

The latest EIC Monitor report shows that contracting activity levels across power generation sectors in Q1 2015 are remaining steady, with overall figures showing the number of major contract awards made since the last quarter up by 1%.

Toyo Engineering has received a notice to proceed with the first plant, and construction on the remaining plants is scheduled to begin every two months sequentially, except for a six-month gap scheduled once the first six projects have been completed. Nine plants will have a capacity of 120MW, while the other three plants will have a capacity of 130MW each, offering a total generation capacity 1.47GW.

The number of major contract awards in the power industry has returned to growth during the last quarter (Q1: Jan-Mar 2015), with the number of contracts (EPC, OEM Supply and PMC) awarded globally across thermal, nuclear and biomass developments increasing 8% since Q4 2014. However, there has been a downturn in turbine supply contracts in the UK renewables sector, decreasing 56% on Q4 2014 as a result of uncertainty surrounding the General Election.

In northern Thailand, a joint venture between Alstom and Marubeni has secured a contract to build Asia’s first ultra-supercritical lignite-fired power plant to replace units 4-7 at the Mae Moh plant. The ultrasupercritical boiler will come complete with Alstom’s integrated selective catalytic reduction technology, as well as air quality control systems composed of a wet flue gas desulphurisation system and electrostatic precipitators.

Thermal, Nuclear and Biomass Major Contract Awards in Q1 2015

The US, UK, India and Kenya have also been hotspots of activity, together accounting for 19 EPC contracts across 15 developments. In the US, the growth in gas-fired power generation continues to grow, with six out of seven EPC contracts in Q1 2015 awarded on gas-fired plants along the Appalachian shale corridor from Michigan in the north to Texas in the south.

In Q1 2015, a total of 81 major contracts were awarded across 54 thermal, nuclear and biomass developments, increasing 8% from 75 awards in Q4 2014, but down 2% from 83 contract awards in Q1 2014. A total of 43 EPC contracts, 36 OEM Supply contracts and two PMC contracts were awarded.

EIC Monitor To the east, UGI Energy Services has been awarded a contract to construct a lateral pipeline to deliver Marcellus shale gas to the 1GW Hummel plant in Snyder County, Pennsylvania, owned by a joint venture between Panda Energy and Sunbury Generation. The partners plan to sell power generated by the plan to eastern US markets.

Also of significance in this quarter is progress made by Iran on Phase III of its Bushehr nuclear power plant. In January 2015, Iran awarded a contract to Russia’s Rosatom to supply the nuclear reactor for Phase III of the project, which is part of a wider deal for Russia to supply up to eight reactors to the country.

In the Midwest, Grand River Dam Authority has awarded The Industrial Company (TIC), a wholly owned subsidiary of Kiewit Corporation, an EPC contract to build the Grand River Energy Center 495MW Unit 3 in Chouteau, Oklahoma. The plant will be the first in the US to install Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Americas’ new M501Jseries engine. Construction on the plant will begin in early 2015, which is scheduled for start-up in May 2017.

Global OEM Supply Activity The US has dominated activity for Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) supply contracting activity on global power projects, accounting for eight OEM supply contracts, with gas-fired power plants fuelled by shale gas still dominant. Three awards were made for Indeck Energy Services’ 648MW natural gas-fired simple cycle combustion turbine facility, Wharton Energy Center, located southwest of Houston, to GE Energy for gas turbine generators, and Caterpillar and Cummins for diesel equipment. While in Texas, the 800MW NGCC electric Tenaska Brownsville Generating Centre generating facility saw two awards, to Mitsubishi for two 267MW 501GAC combustion turbine generators, and Toshiba for a 266MW steam turbine generator.

EPC awards were made on two projects in Texas: one to Fagen Construction to build Indeck’s proposed 648MW Wharton Energy Center in Wharton County, and one to Black & Veatch to oversee installation of a 1GW combined cycle natural gas unit at Exelon Generation’s Colorado Bend Energy Center, also in Wharton. Also in the US, DCO Energy has secured a contract to provide EPC services for Constellation’s 50MW Albany Biomass Plant in Albany, Georgia, which will supply steam to Proctor & Gamble’s neighbouring paper manufacturing facility.

Toshiba is also supplying a 266MW steam turbine generator for the Thomas H Allen Combined Cycle Power Plant in Memphis, Tennessee, which involves replacing the 55-year old, coal-burning Allen Fossil Plant with a 1,000MW high-efficiency, 2-on-1, combined-cycle gas plant. GE is supplying two of its 7HA.02 gas turbines for the plant.

In Q1 2015, there was also a significant amount of activity in biomass and energy from waste plants in the UK. Interserve, a consortium partner on the Brite biomass power plant based in Templeborough, Rotherham, was also awarded the EPC contract to build the 45MW facility. A joint venture of Babcock & Wilson Vølund and Interserve Construction will build the 40MW Margam Green Energy biomass plant. EPC awards were made on three UK energy from waste projects; to M+W Group to build the Levenseat plant in Lanark, Japanese company Kobelco to supply fluidised bed gasification for the WandE project in Walsall, and Bouygues Energies & Services for a plant at Hoddesdon.

In Q1 2015, a significant level of activity also took place on transmission projects in Western Europe, with seven OEM Supply contracts awarded in Denmark, Germany, Scotland and Belgium. Three contracts were awarded on the Kriegers Flak AC Interconnection project offshore Denmark, which will see the development of an AC network to connect the 600MW Kriegers Flak offshore wind farm to the mainland via a submarine cable. ABB is supplying the submarine cables, LS Cable & System the onshore cables, and Nexans will deliver 20km of 400kV reinforcement cable.

There was also a single nuclear decommissioning award in the UK, to a joint venture of James Fisher Nuclear and M+W Group for Box Encapsulation Plant Product Store Direct Import Facility (BEPPS DIF) as part of the Sellafield nuclear decommissioning programme.

In Germany, the two awards were for the Nordlink Interconnector project, a 623km high voltage direct current (HVDC) cable between Norway and Germany. ABB won the contract to supply the HVDC cable and supply converter stations, and Nexans will supply two 525kV cable subsystems.

For the Olkaria – Lessos – Kisumu Transmission Line project in Kenya, contracts have been awarded for the three phases of the project. A joint venture of Kalpataru Power Transmission and Kinden Corporation will carry out phase 1, a NARI Group and China Construction Civil Engineering consortium will construct phase 2, and Sieyuan Electric of China will build phase 3.

Nexans was selected to supply 60km of 380kV extrahigh voltage cable, plus accessories and onsite services for the Stevin transmission line project between Zomergem and Zeebrugge in Belgium. And in Scotland, Balfour Beatty was awarded a three-year contract worth £40.7 million as part of SHE Transmission’s overhead delivery framework for the Caithness-Moray Subsea Transmission Link.

Bharat Heavy Electricals was awarded all three EPC contracts in India, for the construction of coal-fired plants in Manuguru and Kothagudem, and the combined cycle power plant in Yelahanka. www.the-eic.com

Siemens was awarded three contracts to supply gas turbines for two projects in Egypt – the 4,400MW Beni Suef combined cycle power plant and the Al Ataqa gas fired power plant expansion in the Gulf of Suez. Also in Egypt, Ansaldo was contracted to deliver two gas turbines for the Mahmoudia Gas Fired Power Plant Expansion. In the UK Biomass sector, Alstom won two contracts, both to design, engineer and manufacture a geared reaction steam turbine, for the straw-fuelled Snetterton Biomass Power Plant and the Widnes CHP Biomass Power Plant. PMC Activity There were two PMC contracts awarded on global power projects in Q1 2015. Mott MacDonald has been appointed as Project Manager for Zesco’s Victoria Falls Transmission Network Upgrades project in Zambia, which will see an upgrade to the existing 220kV transmission line and the construction of new substations. The European Investment Bank and the World Bank are funding the project.

In February 2015, DONG Energy awarded both of this quarter’s offshore wind turbine contracts to MHI Vestas for its extension to the Walney offshore wind farm, Walney 3, located 19km off the west coast of England in the Irish Sea. MHI Vestas has been appointed as the preferred turbine supplier for the 330MW first phase of the project and will supply V164-8.0MW turbines and blades, which will be manufactured at Vestas’ facility on the Isle of Wight. The award follows a previous contract win for MHI Vestas last quarter on DONG Energy’s offshore Burbo Bank Round 2.5 Extension.

In the US, Kiewit has been appointed by Tenaska to oversee its 800MW Brownsville NGCC Generating Station project.

UK Turbine Contracts in Q1 2015

In Q1 2015, a total of four wind turbine supply contracts were awarded for two onshore and two offshore wind developments, decreasing 56% from nine awards in Q4 2014, and 64% from 11 contracts in Q1 2014.

Much of the inactivity in the UK renewables sector is understood to be as a result of uncertainty in the industry during the General Election and we are yet to hear more details on David Cameron’s plans for the country’s renewables sectors. However, with the Contracts for Difference (CfD) scheme entering the allocation round, there is some cause for optimism. During the Contracts for Difference (CfD) allocation round, two significant offshore projects secured CfDs totalling over 1.1GW. Scottish Power Renewables had initially scaled back its East Anglia 1 (EA1) project to 714MW, but it has now set its sights on expanding the project to its full consented size of 1.2GW by bidding for more support in future CfD rounds. The second, Mainstream Renewable Power’s 448MW Neart Na Goithe off the coast of Scotland, was awarded a CfD at a strike price of £114.39/MEWh and a delivery year of 2019.

MEMBER NEWS CETCO Energy Services has won the Environmentalist Award in the Society of Petroleum Engineer’s (SPE’s) recent Offshore Achievement Awards. Technologies developed by CETCO Energy Services to remove contaminants from oilfield produced water streams were recognised for improving the environment. The Environmentalist Award distinguishes an outstanding technology, deployed in the offshore oil and gas or renewables industry, which reduces the environmental impact of the industry, supports sustainability, and creates new business opportunities. CETCO has been acknowledged for the development and field application of two technologies which reduce hydrocarbon contaminants from produced water to concentrations well below industry requirements at efficiencies exceeding greater than 90%.

Paul McAlister, CETCO’s European Managing Director, said the company works closely with the industry on environmental issues. He is delighted that the award recognised the pioneering work and achievements of the CETCO Energy Services Aberdeen team. CETCO provides and operates under service, rental and permanent agreements offering a wide range of equipment developed to ensure that technology is accessible to oil and gas operating companies.

Colson X-Cel Ltd has announced the launch of an innovative close coupled solution for instrumentation mounting. The Colson X-Cel DPX Cel and PTX Cel products give the industry a true ‘close coupled’ instrumentation solution.

The two technologies – CrudeSep®­ IGF and CrudeSep® DGF – are ideal for free oil recovery, degassing, solids removal, and enhanced water and oil separation. The technologies were created specifically to assist the late-life development of mature oilfields in the North Sea, where produced water volumes significantly increase as fields age.

Designed in accordance with the already proven philosophies of EEMUA 182 and Shell specifications 77/170 (formally 77/162 & 165) the DPX Cel and PTX Cel series of manifolds additionally offers customers: true close coupling of instrumentation; no impulse lines to plug, block or freeze; no impulse lines to monitor, maintain or replace; reduced trace heating (if required); one vendor means less procurement costs; one complete solution ‘out of the box’.

Produced water – the fluid that is brought up during oil and gas production – contributes an increasingly significant percentage of waste, associated with the oil industry. Discharge of the produced water back into the sea can potentially lead to aquatic pollution and negatively impact sea life and the marine environment.

Additionally for differential pressure customers: eliminated potential errors associated with impulse line installations; eliminated costly NACE piping compliance issues; true ‘mass flow’ reading has been achieved by incorporating temperature measurement within the product; eliminated the need for a separate thermowell.

Critically for all customers: improved integrity - less joints = less potential emissions; reduced lifetime costs; ‘out of the box’ supply means simple, quick installation (less production downtime); accurate measurement saving the customer money; one purchase order saves procurement time and money.

UK based specialist recruitment agency, Oil Consultants Ltd, has won its third Queen’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade in six years. This award comes on the back of skills shortages in the global oil and gas industry. The £31 million company was formed in 1999 by oil industry workers who spotted an opportunity in the market. With international sales of over £26 million it now provides individuals and teams of technical personnel to clients in over 95 countries. In the past three years the company has implemented an ambitious growth plan that has seen it double staff numbers and turnover as well as establishing operations in Australia, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Norway, Trinidad, the United Arab Emirates as well as within the United States of America.

“The imminent harmonisation of the new EN54 Part 22 draft standard will bring a European standard for resettable linear heat detection into line with the rest of the world, which already has the internationally recognised UL521,” says Tom Robst, Thermocable Flexible Elements. He continued: “What is its significance? “It will help raise minimum standards in heat detection and create more opportunities for linetype heat detection to be used as a means of overheat or fire protection in appropriate situations across Europe.

“Europe has had no such LTHD standard, so Part 22 will help establish that LTHDs in Europe are as qualified as PTHDs, allowing them to be used in applications without affecting overall system certification, and in situations where PTHDs cannot provide adequate protection.” Future EN54 Part 22 technology “This new standard will promote research, development and sector innovation. Future resettable LTHDs will most likely provide rapid and accurate distance location to the incident, selfchecking capabilities to reduce maintenance costs and improved onsite reconfigurability.

“The EN54 family of standards is wide-ranging. Where Part 5 covers point-type heat detectors (PTHDs), Part 22 will harmonise minimum quality and performance of line-type heat detectors (LTHDs), of which as well as digital nonresettable LTHD, four main types of resettable LTHD exist – multi-point, analogue, pneumatic and fibre optic. Despite operating differently they share characteristics like the ability to trigger an alarm at a specific temperature.

What this means for Europe “Underwriters Laboratory (UL) is a recognised approval body testing and certifying primarily for the USA, covering a broad product range. UL521, ‘Heat detectors for fire protective signalling systems’ (7th edition, first published 1961), covers LTHDs, which are well established across the USA and Middle East.

A live demonstration vehicle that was developed to demonstrate the technology, its practical applications and benefits, was used at the event to offer potential and existing customers an insight into the engineered solution. Safehouse’s innovative habitats are designed to offer a fully engineered control measure to mitigate the risk of ignition associated with hot work in hazardous environments.

Thermocable Flexible Elements

“As per Part 5, Part 22 uses a classification system (A to G) for response temperature range, maximum application temperature range and response time for LTHDs. Class A detectors trigger alarms at lower temperatures but have lower maximum application temperatures. Class G heat detectors trigger at higher temperatures, approximately 150°C, but are designed to operate continuously at ambient temperatures up to 115°C.”

Safehouse Habitats recently held a live technology demonstration at the EIC offices in Aberdeen to showcase its services to companies looking at ways to maximise hot work maintenance cost efficiencies.

“EN54 Part 22 provides a platform for LTHD to become a qualified means of detecting overheat and fire incidents for applications throughout Europe. Full harmonised standard status makes the production of a Declaration of Performance to comply with the EU Construction Products Directive a straightforward process, removing any ambiguity in compliance or certification. LTHD will become an established, regulated market sector within Europe, vital for the fire protection industry.” Visit www.thermocable.com

The pressurised enclosures work by taking air from a designated safe zone to positively pressurise the habitat to create a barrier that stops hydrocarbons entering the internal environment. The robust technology, which is used as part of process safety management systems in basins across the world, allows Safehouse to monitor the habitat and surrounding area for hydrocarbons and pressurisation, constantly maintaining safe operations. Following the success of the event, Safehouse will be looking to book in further demos this year at the EIC premises both in Aberdeen and Teesside. Visit www.safehouseltd.com

EIC Overseas Exhibitions and Delegations

Overseas Exhibitions EIC Overseas Exhibitions and Delegations Overseas Delegation to Thailand 6-10 July 2015 #EICThailand Thailand is active in both upstream and downstream businesses. The country has about 449 million barrels of proven oil reserves and approximately 9 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. Almost all of its natural gas fields are located offshore in the Gulf of Thailand where Chevron and PTT Exploration and Production (PTTEP) dominate upstream oil and gas activity. Key field production areas include the Arthit, Bangkot and Platong fields in the Gulf of Thailand, and the S1 onshore block. The downstream businesses are dominated by PTT Group, the national oil and gas conglomerate, and the Siam Cement Group (SCG). One of the fastest growing and stable economies in Asia, Thailand’s energy mix has been changing over the last two decades with the proportion of oil to total energy consumption declining. For further information contact Camilla Tew: camilla.tew@the-eic.com

Spurred on by the government’s aim to increase production and interest surrounding natural gas and onshore and pre-salt exploration, there are likely to be tremendous opportunities for the UK supply chain now and in the future. This should be tempered against aggressive local content initiatives that will need to be embraced. Contact: mark.gamble@the-eic.com Overseas Delegation to Ghana 19-22 October 2015 The EIC is managing an oil and gas delegation to Ghana. In December 2010, the US$3.3 billion deepwater Jubilee project came online and pushed Ghana to a strong position among Africa’s oil producers. Ghana’s crude oil production reached 99,000b/d in 2013, and is estimated to rise significantly over the next decade. The Ghanaian government plans to ramp up commercial utilisation of associated natural gas to reduce dependency on unreliable gas imports while meeting power generation demand. Proved reserves of 0.66 billion barrels offer more promising opportunities for the UK supply chain. For more information contact: mark.gamble@the-eic.com

Oil & Gas Indonesia (OGI) 9-12 September 2015 Jakarta #EICOGI15 TAP funding £1,500 for eligible SMEs The EIC is once again proud to be organising and managing the UK Group at OGI taking place from 9-12 September 2015. Indonesia is keen to halt the decline in oil production. This will occur through investment not only in new field developments but also through the utilisation of EOR technology on currently producing fields. The upstream sector could see capex of up to US$90 billion in the coming years, with much of this investment being made by international operators including Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Eni, Inpex and Total. Investments are also being made on new LNG liquefaction facilities and the expansion of existing LNG plants, with capex on the BP lead Tangguh expansion project expected to be in the region of US$12 billion. OGI is the perfect platform for UK companies to showcase their products and services to the Indonesian market. Please contact: camilla.tew@the-eic.com

OTC Brasil Oil & Gas Exhibition and Conference 27-29 October 2015 #EICOTCBrasil15 Riocentro Convention Center, Rio de Janeiro The EIC is pleased to be returning to host the UK National Pavilion at OTC Brasil 2015. The International OTC Brasil Oil and Gas Exhibition is one of the world’s foremost events for the development of offshore resources in the fields of drilling, exploration, production and environmental protection. The bi-annual OTC Brasil exhibition focuses on the importance Brazil will play in meeting increasing global energy demand. The exhibition brings together key personnel within engineering, operations and procurement providing a unique opportunity to suppliers of goods and services worldwide attracting more than 15,000 industry leaders and buyers from 45 countries. OTC Brasil attracts the world’s foremost experts and companies to share knowledge, make new contacts, and explore the latest technologies in the offshore sector. Themed ‘The Atlantic: From East to West – An Ocean of Innovation’, this flagship technical conference will cover all aspects of offshore oil and gas exploration and development including topics related to geology, geophysics and subsurface technologies, offshore drilling and well systems, floating structures, advanced subsea production, as well as subjects on increasingly complex integrity management to keep offshore facilities operating safely and efficiently. OTC Brasil is the perfect platform for UK companies who are new to the market, those in the process of acquiring Brazilian companies, setting up manufacturing facilities, and those with fully fledged operations and experience in the market. For more information contact: deanne.lintorn@the-eic.com

Overseas Delegation to Angola 28-30 September 2015 The EIC is managing an oil and gas trade delegation to Luanda in Angola. Delegates will have the opportunity to attend organised group meetings with key local players, as well as incorporating briefing meetings presented by qualified speakers with in-market experience and the opportunity to meet with local companies. Despite the current oil price environment, ambitious plans of the Angolan government as well as proven reserves offer promising opportunities for the UK supply chain. According to EICDataStream projects worth a combined US$87.6 billion across Angola’s oil and gas industry are currently under development or have entered planning. www.the-eic.com

EIC Training Services

Training Services

Managers’ attitudes and behaviours are key influencers of engagement but many managers may not have had to manage in tough times before. Investing in management development training builds the skills they need to manage their people through challenging times and helps reduce the loss of the best talent from their organisation. The skills of employees are crucial to the future success of a business. Investing in skills during the downturn can help to put individual businesses in a better position to gain competitive advantage following recovery. All businesses face delicate balancing acts when it comes to setting training budgets in the current economic climate. It can be hard for companies to know what to invest in and what to cut back on in order to make savings without cutting corners or letting reputations suffer. However the downturn should be looked at as an opportunity – those firms able to invest now will grow quicker when the market picks up. They will: • Recognise training as an investment rather than a cost. • Prioritise essential training that is focussed on meeting immediate business needs. • Show that they value employees with their personal development high up on the agenda. • Use this time to focus on training employees who may not be fully utilised because of lower levels of demand (when business picks up they may not have time to release them for training). • Improve competitiveness, edge and growth by taking advantage of developing new skills, techniques, methodologies, technologies and views about what is changing in the business world. While the economic news may be tough, there will be an end to it and the most successful companies will be ready to take advantage of the upturn as soon as it comes. Retaining and enhancing skills now will mean you’re first to the new opportunities when they come. If you want your company to be fit for the upturn and to improve employee satisfaction and productivity levels during difficult times, the essential question your business should be asking is not ‘can we afford training?’ but ‘can we afford not to be training?’

Can you afford not to train your staff?

It’s ironic, isn’t it, that companies so often say people are their most important asset, but even in good times development is often delayed or put off. In harder times, the need for development becomes even more critical, but training is an easy target and is often one of the first areas to be cut. Many organisations are currently making cutbacks in training and development. Is this a wise move or is this the very time when they should be putting more energy and resources into motivating and engaging their key people, and making them feel wanted, valued and appreciated? Companies which take a longer-term rather than a reactive view to training during difficult times tend to be the ones who come out stronger and fitter, and are frequently the ones who do better when the good times return. These more farsighted businesses will link their training needs with the company’s strategy for growth, particularly into new or emerging markets. In the current climate, many employees now find themselves having more than one job, or additional responsibilities or tasks to manage. These changes can have an enormous impact on employees. In response, managers should focus less on what they can’t do, such as implementing pay increases, and consider the more fundamental benefits they can offer that will act as powerful motivators to engage employees. For example, employees who are offered opportunities for job growth and development and for acquiring career-enhancing skills through training and development are likely to become more engaged and motivated. This in turn brings about business benefits for the employer – increased loyalty, job retention, improved production, profitability and customer satisfaction. The relationship an employee has with their immediate manager will impact their decisions to engage or disengage; to go the extra mile or do the bare minimum.

EIC Middle East News

Middle East News

On the political front, the recent cabinet reshuffle that took place in Saudi Arabia illustrated its resolve to continue to be the region’s powerhouse. However its military intervention in Yemen’s unrest brought to the surface the ongoing troubled relationship with Iran which is destined to reach a definitive position by the end of this month with regard to its nuclear position. Finally, we are pleased to acknowledge our visitors to the office. Daniel Powell from Orga Offshore was interested in our Serviced Office offering while Phil Wood and Nilesh Jain passed by to inform us that Phil will be relocating from the UK to Dubai, which is great news. Peter Smith from John Bell Pipeline spent some time explaining how it fits in with the Bianco Group while it was great to welcome an ex tenant, Kevin Strachan in his new role as General Manager of Glacier. A surprise visit was made by John Kaznowski who brought doughnuts as a pleasant introductory measure to announce the arrival of his new colleague, Robert Duncan and finally Peter Brimson who was explaining how Thomas & Betts will be incorporated into the ABB empire.

The prime event for June 2015 is EIC Connect Middle East. There can be no doubt that this year’s event will surpass our 2013 efforts that proved so successful at the time. Full details will continue to be posted on the event website at: http://www.the-eic.com/EICConnect/ MiddleEast/AbouttheEvent.aspx and it only remains for us to send our sincere thanks and appreciation for the efforts of our Advisory Group who have spent countless hours in making sure that the event satisfied everybody’s expectations. A full report will be featured in next month’s news. Another milestone has been reached since the publication of the last Monthly News. At a time when we see the industry across the globe wallowing in the throes of austerity space for the UK Pavilion at ADIPEC, taking place from 9-12 November in Abu Dhabi, has been sold out with seven months to go. A waiting list has been started just in case more space does become available but part and parcel of our presence at ADIPEC is the Ice Breaker Reception that is scheduled for Sunday 8 November. This is traditionally an occasion for the exhibitors to network with a selection of the local oil and gas business community within the grounds of the A-Loft Hotel which is adjoined to the exhibition centre. For this year’s event we have again been able to secure the same location as with previous years and we are now seeking out a supporting sponsor for the night which will see around 200 guests attending plus a key note speech to be delivered by the British Ambassador. Any interested parties can contact either the Dubai office or the Overseas Events team in London. Two EIC events that proved to be very popular last month were the delegation to Saudi Arabia and Bahrain as well as the business presentation where we hosted SNC-Lavalin Kentz. The delegation covered meetings with the main EPC contractors as well as Saudi Aramco and Saudi Electricity Company. Just like other territories within the region, the policies of local content proved to be the main topic of conversation. For the business presentation it was enlightening to see how the Kentz organisation has integrated so well within the SNCLavalin group. Looking ahead, we have pencilled in a number of dates in our diary which we would like to share with you. Our traditional ‘Welcome Back from the Holidays’ event is scheduled for 26 August where we intend to have a curry night at the Mint Leaf restaurant located within the Dubai International Finance Centre. At the end of September, we will be repeating our delegation to Angola and in October we will take companies to Ghana before moving down to Cape Town to attend the Africa Oil Week which is an excellent event for people wishing to get themselves up to date on all the activity that’s taking place across the African continent. Further details of all our events can be found in the Events section of the website.

Corporate Entertainment Scottish Region Golf Day Thursday 18 June 2015 Downfield Golf Club, Dundee Downfield is recognised as one of the finest inland courses in the United Kingdom. It has played host to many events over its long history, such as the SPGA Masters, PGA Scottish Open, Scottish Amateur and British Girls Home Internationals – but it was the great honour of being a final qualifying venue for the Open Championship at Carnoustie in 1999 and again in 2007 that has put Downfield Golf Club rightly, near the top of the tree as a golfing destination. Downfield Golf Club has been described by Paul Lawrie (1999 Open Champion) as: “One of the finest inland courses in Britain.” Set in beautiful parkland, Dundee’s premier course is a challenge to every golfer teeing off at the wonderful 1st hole and moving round the rolling contours of the course. There are a wide variety of challenges at Downfield with some water in play on no fewer than seven holes. There are five par fives, from the championship tees and the 11th is one of the finest holes you will ever play. The day will include morning rolls and refreshments on arrival, high tea (available as and when you finish your round), goody bag and golf course fees for players. 18 holes will be played to Stableford rules with the prize giving ceremony taking place once the last team completes the course. The winning individual will be awarded the EIC Quaiche (for one year) with additional trophies and prizes for best team, longest drive and nearest the pin. Sponsorship packages are available for the Scottish Region Golf Day. Sponsorship will provide your company with brand recognition throughout the various EIC mediums.

Regional Comment

TOYO Group wins power plant projects in Thailand TOYO Engineering Corporation has entered into construction and supply contracts with Mitsui and GED to construct 12 cogeneration power plant projects in Thailand. Toyo has obtained NTP (Notice To Proceed) for one of the twelve projects. The total generation capacity of the twelve power plants will be 1,470MW. The twelve plants are scheduled for completion between May 2017 and July 2019. TOYO and Mitsui previously completed seven cogeneration power plant projects in Bangkok in 2013.

In April 2015 we had discussions with PETRONAS’s Vice President of Group Supply Chain, Rashid Yusof in his offices in the Twin Towers. These centred around how EIC members can be of assistance to PETRONAS’s efforts in improving cost management in executing and delivering their capex projects and in operations and maintenance of PETRONAS’s facilities. We also talked about the licensing and registration process and procedures for supplying products and services to PETRONAS. More events will be planned with PETRONAS’s group supply chain to continue the good relationship between PETRONAS and UK companies. As well as PETRONAS, we met two of PETRONAS’s production sharing companies, namely Murphy Oil Corporation (MOC) and Kebabangan Project Operating Company (KPOC). Murphy Oil operates Malaysia’s first deepwater project, the Kikeh field, along with seven production sharing contracts in the country. We were informed that Murphy Oil remains committed to deep water exploration and production in Malaysia. KPOC operates the Kebabangan Cluster located in the South China Sea, offshore Sabah, East Malaysia. The Kebabangan cluster is owned by PETRONAS (40%), ConocoPhillips (30%) and Shell (30%). After more than eight years, KPOC has grown from 10 people to about 350 with sites all over Malaysia, including fabrication yards and engineering offices. In May we attended the China International Exhibition on Nuclear Power Industry (CIENPI 2015) in Beijing, followed by PowerGen India 2015 in New Delhi. China is leading the world in the construction of new reactors. India has a similar number of reactors already in operation with 39 in the planning stages, making it one of the largest nuclear markets in the world. The scale of China’s nuclear ambitions, with over 200 reactor units in the planning stages, demonstrates the country’s unprecedented drive to become a world leader in nuclear technology. At the end of May we were in Jakarta for IPACONVEX 2015, a convention and exhibition event organised by the Indonesian Petroleum Association. Indonesia is actively implementing key measures to reform governance within its energy industry in order to address its increasing energy demand.

Yokogawa to supply control system to Petronas Yokogawa Electric Corporation has announced that it has received an order from a consortium comprising JGC Corporation and Samsung Heavy Industries to supply control systems for PETRONAS’s second floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) facility, PFLNG2. Yokogawa will deliver an integrated control and safety system for the monitoring and control of the liquefaction facilities and storage tanks on PFLNG2. The PFLNG2 facility will be moored offshore of Sabah, Malaysia, and is designed to produce 1.5 million tons of LNG a year, with production scheduled to start in early 2018. Santos reports significant discovery offshore Malaysia Santos has reported a significant oil discovery in its deepwater exploration campaign in Malaysia. The Bestari-1 well comes just two months after Santos completed a deal to buy a 20% stake in the Block R Production Sharing Contract. Block R, located offshore East Malaysia, lies in an area where large fields have been discovered, including Murphy Oil’s Kikeh and Shell’s Gumusut-Kakap oilfields. Japan’s JX Nippon is operator of the drilling venture and has a 27.5% stake. Inpex has a similar stake, while Petronas Carigali has 25% and Santos 20%. 11 companies awarded exploration blocks in Indonesia Shell, Statoil, Petronas Carigali and Pertamina have enjoyed success in Indonesia’s latest bidding round for 11 conventional and unconventional exploration blocks, said the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources. The successful bidders for oil and gas exploration blocks include Petcon Resources, Petronas Carigali, Mentari Abdi Pertiwi, Gema Terra-Transform Exploration, Shell, Pertamina, Statoil, Bukit Energy Resources and Petroselat.

New York aims high for renewable energy The New York Governor has announced a US$160 million investment plan aimed at growing large-scale renewable energy projects in the state. The Reforming Energy Vision (REV) initiative supports public-private partnerships to develop renewable energy, while expanding economic development opportunities and protecting the environment. Renewable energy projects will be supported by 20 year contracts.

Forthcoming Events Technical Workshop

US$936 million budgeted for nuclear energy Nuclear energy programmes would receive US$936 million in fiscal year 2016 under an energy and water spending bill approved by the US House of Representatives’ Appropriations Committee. The committee reduced the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s budget by US$25 million, or 2.5%, in order to implement recommendations the NRC made to improve efficiency and effectiveness. President Obama’s proposal to impose a 10 year, US$2 billion tax on the nuclear industry for the decontamination and decommissioning of uranium enrichment facilities that the DOE operated in three states was again rejected.

Introduction to Bolted Joint Integrity Tuesday 14 July 2015 Hydratight Ltd, Deer Park, Texas This technical workshop will cover the theoretical, practical, and management aspects of bolted joints in pressurised and structural applications along with a hands-on demonstration of equipment and a factory tour.

Canadian tidal worth billions Tidal energy could reduce Canada’s dependence on fossil fuels and create a new industry that offers significant socioeconomic benefits across the nation. Research for the Offshore Energy Research Association of Nova Scotia found Canada has the capability and experience to supply 60% to 70% of the goods and services required for large-scale development with an estimated value in the billions. The value proposition for investing in tidal energy is considered the strongest in Nova Scotia, given the immense resource potential in the Bay of Fundy, relatively low access costs to the grid, and legislated emissions reductions targets already in place.

13th bidding round in October Brazil’s 13th bidding round for exploration blocks will be held on 7 October, according to an announcement by the National Petroleum Agency (ANP) made on the sidelines of the OTC conference in Houston last month. It has been confirmed that 269 blocks will be put on offer, of which 84 are located offshore. In total, ANP will auction 126,000 sq km of exploration acreage in 10 basins across the country. According to the Agency, 20 high potential blocks will be offered in the Campos, Espírito Santo and Sergipe-Alagoas Basins, where some of Brazil’s most important upstream projects are located. Sergipe-Alagoas is the location of the Moita Bonita light oil discovery and the basin is considered the ‘most important area’ in the bidding round. Bidding rules will be released on 11 June and bidding documents will be submitted between 12 June and 18 August. The round follows the conventional concession-based system and will not include pre-salt areas in the Santos Basin.

Brasil Offshore is held every other year in Macaé. This time around, 10 companies will be part of the UK Pavilion, organised by the EIC. If you’re visiting the exhibition, please contact the Rio team to be updated on the events taking place such as the Whisky Tasting to be held on Wednesday 24 June, with the aim of creating networking opportunities with local industry. The EIC is working very closely to support companies in Latin America and attending OTC last month was a proof of this engagement, where we were able to promote contact with several delegations from Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Trinidad & Tobago and Venezuela. The picture below is an example of this partnership with representatives from the UKTI teams across those countries.

Government considering pre-salt changes The Brazilian Mines and Energy minister Eduardo Braga has revealed that the government is studying changes to the legal framework for the exploration and development of oil-rich pre-salt areas under productionsharing rules, more specifically to the requirement that Petrobras must be the sole operator of new contracts. According to the minister, Petrobras should have a say on whether this condition is in line with its economic interests, adding that the company needs ‘flexibility’. The comments represent a major shift of attitude on the part of the government, which previously insisted that the new requirements were beneficial to the state-owned major. The first and so far only bidding round for pre-salt areas following the production-sharing rules was held in 2013, when a consortium formed by Petrobras, Shell, Total, CNPC and CNOOC was awarded the Libra field in the Santos Basin.

Argentina signs energy deals with Russia Presidents de Kirchner and Putin signed two key agreements for the development of energy projects in Argentina following talks in Moscow in April. The first is a financing agreement for the construction of the 637MW Chihuido I hydro power plant on the Neuquén river in southern Argentina. The plant will be built by a consortium which includes the state-owned Russian holding Inter RAO and will be financed by the Russian development bank Vnesheconombank. The second agreement, between Nucleoelectrica Argentina (NA-SA) and Rosatom, calls for the construction of a VVER-1000 light water reactor at the Atucha nuclear power complex, with a capacity of 1.2GWe. The agreement sets out a framework for the ‘preparation and implementation’ of contracts for the plant’s design and construction.
