North Sea oil news

The Aberdeen-based project and risk management consultancy company, has announced a one-year contract with Ithaca Energy for the use of its digital project management system.

The UK government is potentially facing three separate legal challenges as Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth and Uplift seek to stop up to 130 new oil and gas licences from going ahead.

The analysis found that, on average, UK production in the North Sea was nearly three times more GHG intensive (23 kgCO2e/boe) than Norwegian production (8 kgCO2e/boe).

The discoveries were proven in 2017 and 2020 respectively and contain a total of 36.3 million bbl of recoverable oil equivalent.

Calypso is Neptune Energy’s third discovery in six months on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.

The project saw a team identify the trouble zone and subsequently mobilise and install a short patch on a casing section of a well affected by corrosion.

The operational support services are aimed at optimising oil and gas production efficiency, and reducing energy consumption and emissions.

The North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA) has opened an investigation into an operator suspected of breaching one of its licence conditions.

The wells were drilled about 10 kilometres northwest of the Oseberg field in the North Sea and 150 kilometres northwest of Bergen.

The reservoir target is the middle and lower Jurassic formations and is expected to be reached at a depth of approximately 2960 m.
