OGUK Sustainability Director Mike Tholen has responded to a story published recently in The Sunday Telegraph which suggests UK ministers are considering declaring the beginning of the end for the North Sea oil industry with a ban on new exploration licences.
The partnership allows iMbokodo, a women-led company, to advance energy exploration throughout Southern Africa with a focus on empowering local community development alongside every upstream project.
The crew is operating with an 80 000-channel 508XT land acquisition system, complete with QuietSeis® digital sensors, and 10 Nomad 90 Neo broadband vibrators in challenging desert terrain.
Under the terms of the agreement, ADNOC and Petronas will jointly explore opportunities for collaboration in the exploration, development, and production of conventional and unconventional hydrocarbon resources in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.
The campaign involves geophysical data collection, heat flow measurements, core sampling and onboard geochemical analyses, which aim to optimise future exploration activities offshore Suriname.
Recoverable resources at exploration well 7220/7-4 in production licence 532 are so far estimated at between 5 and 8 million m3 of recoverable oil, corresponding to 31 – 50 million bbl of recoverable oil.
The second phase will expand on the phase one acquisition initiated in 2020 to add a second azimuth over CGG’s existing Northern Viking Graben 3D survey offshore Norway.
The approximately two-month survey is expected to commence in 3Q21 covering an estimated 2700 km2.
The company now holds a 45% interest in the project in Lincolnshire, UK.
The Neptune-operated Dugong discovery, in Production Licence 882, was one of the largest discoveries on the Norwegian Continental Shelf in 2020.
The survey will take place at the Ivar Aasen field in the Norwegian North Sea.
The company has said that the current timeframe of seismic projects is costing businesses money and posing health and safety risks for crews on the ground.
The Egypt Upstream Gateway provides digital access to over 100 years' worth of accumulated national onshore and offshore seismic, non-seismic, well-log, production, and additional subsurface data under a single platform.
The Tupi and Iracema surveys for Petrobras will start in 3Q21 and are expected to last approximately nine months.
The acquisition phase will continue until April and fast-track data is expected in October 2021.
