The expected recoverable gross reserves from the field are estimated at 90 million boe, of which the majority will be oil, an amount which will help support Europe’s energy supply.

Ofelia is positioned in one of Neptune’s core areas and close to existing infrastructure. The well, 35/6-3 S, is being drilled by the Deepsea Yantai, a semi-submersible rig, owned by CIMC and operated by Odfjell Drilling.

The Guyana investment strategy continues to yield positive results; additional exploration wells planned later this year, while production from two vessels currently operating offshore has exceeded their initial combined target of 340 000 bpd.

A gas leak in a contained area related to a turbine on Sleipner A was reported in the morning of 11 July. The incident was quickly clarified. During the process of resuming production and depressurisation, an additional gas leak occurred on the Sleipner R riser platform late Monday night.

A new feature used in the creation of GeoWells Brazil is an innovative core image interpretation workflow. This harnesses machine learning technology to predict core and thin section descriptions over hundreds of wells, and tens of thousands of images.

It is anticipated that a discovery at North Eigg would be developed utilising Serica’s nearby 98% owned and operated infrastructure on the Bruce platform. Results of the North Eigg well are expected in mid-October and will be announced by RNS.

The company has been awarded a contract to deploy its high-volume mud cooler technology for a project owned by Germany’s largest private developer of geothermal systems.

CGG will apply its unique high-end OBS & FWI imaging technologies, expertise and specialised HPC from its UK and Cairo imaging centres to deliver the highest-quality 3D seismic images of pre-Messinian targets.

Coming into effect from 01 July 2022, all of Fraser Well Management’s personnel will transfer to the THREE60 Energy team.

The permits, for wells off the coast of Norway, have been granted based upon the petroleum resource act paragraph 13.

Under the terms of the contract, CGG will continue to provide its proven reservoir characterisation workflows, such as geostatistical, 4D and azimuthal inversion, while also bringing new state-of-the-art technologies to Brazil to further enhance reservoir understanding.

The companies have announced their discovery of a field of super-viscous oil and bitumen in the Zarafshan depression.

The company has announced that its Canadian affiliates, Imperial and ExxonMobil Canada, have entered into an agreement with Whitecap Resources Inc. for the sale of XTO Energy Canada, which is jointly owned by Imperial and ExxonMobil Canada.

This project will see the reprocessing of 3500 square km of data in the Greater Catcher Area covering quads 21, 28, and 29 of the North Sea on the margins of the UK Central Graben.

The accolade was awarded as part of Wood Mackenzie’s annual Exploration Survey.
