A petrophysical analysis has confirmed the likely presence of a 35-m column of oil in the Biscathorpe-2 well in the Humber Basin, UK.

After finalising the transaction related to the Duva field, the company will hold shares in 27 licenses on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.

The contract covers FEED work for offshore wellhead platforms, pipelines and cables associated with the North Field Expansion project.

Acreage is on offer in the Central North Sea, Northern North Sea, Southern North Sea and the West of Shetlands.

The Liatårnet exploration well has proved oil with a gross resource estimate of 80 - 200 million boe.

The seismic programme has identified a number of new leads for the project in Queensland, Australia.

The 1123 million boe average monthly discovered volumes year-to-date reflect an approximate 35% uplift compared to the 827 million boe seen in 2018.

In the second part of this two-part article, Patrick Tampik and Marco Nardi, ABB, outline how flameproof motors are using advanced cooling to achieve a higher power density.

The contract includes the fabrication of over 165 000 t, consisting of six major topside platforms and jackets, 12 bridges and six bridge support platforms and jackets, as well as over 40 miles (70 km) of 36-in. oil export trunk lines and more than 55 miles (90 km) of 230kV composite subsea cables.

More than 90 companies and institutions were invited to bid on the packages, and 16 Saudi and international companies were chosen in the fields of engineering, supply and construction.
