Offshore & subsea - 15 September 2020

Petrobras and SBM Offshore have started negotiations to contract the FPSO Almirante Tamandaré, which will operate in the Buzios field.

The US government said 21%, or nearly 396 000 bpd, of offshore crude oil production and 25%, or 685 million ft3/d, of natural gas output were shut in the US Gulf of Mexico.

The umbilical will be delivered in 2Q21 and will connect the Elgood subsea well to the Blythe platform.

Petrofac will integrate operations, maintenance, engineering, construction, and onshore and offshore technical support across Ithaca’s North Sea operated asset base.

The OGA has concluded that seismic data acquired under an exploration licence and which are more than 10 or 15 years old, depending on the type of data, can be made available through application to the OGA.
