1/ SLB launches carbon storage screening, ranking solution for optimal CCUS site selection at ADIPEC 2023

Schlumberger (SLB) has introduced a carbon storage screening and ranking solution, enhancing confidence in choosing suitable sites for carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) projects. This solution minimizes the risk of selecting suboptimal storage sites, which can waste resources and hinder CCUS project progress, ultimately impeding global net-zero goals. Frederik Majkut, SVP of Carbon Solutions for SLB’s New Energy business, emphasized the importance of safe and cost-effective storage sites for CCUS scalability.

SLB’s solution evaluates storage site capacity, economic viability, and potential risks using a blend of technical and nontechnical data, drawing insights from successful global storage projects. Proprietary tools, along with advanced digital workflows, ensure a rapid, traceable, and consistent validation process, with a strong focus on risk identification through sensitivity and uncertainty analysis.

In a collaboration with a customer in Trinidad and Tobago, SLB employed its screening and ranking solution to assess potential storage sites, aiding in offshore exploration and carbon storage licensing decisions. The methodology considered 67 key criteria, followed by sensitivity analysis to understand attribute influences and benchmarking against US and European storage basins. Using Monte Carlo simulations, SLB ranked sites for the customer, enabling them to prioritize prime subsurface and surface areas for further evaluation and investment.

This announcement was made during ADIPEC, an international event in Abu Dhabi, promoting collective efforts to accelerate decarbonization and ensure a sustainable energy future.

Equinor makes new oil and gas discovery in North Sea off Norway

Equinor Energy, a state-owned Norwegian energy company, has made a new oil and gas discovery in the North Sea off Norway. This marks the third and fourth exploration wells in production license 923, which was awarded in 2017. Equinor owns a 40% stake in the license, while DNO Norge, Petoro, and Wellesley Petroleum each hold a 20% stake.
The wells, located 10 kilometers northwest of the Troll field in the North Sea, were drilled using Transocean’s Transocean Spitsbergen semi-submersible rig. The discovery is estimated to be between 2.7 and 7.4 million Sm3 of recoverable oil equivalent. The licensees intend to consider tying the discovery into existing infrastructure in the Troll area. The wells have been permanently plugged and abandoned, according to the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate. The Transocean Spitsbergen rig will now drill a wildcat well 34/6-6 S in production license 554 in the northern North Sea.

Ergil’s Major Milestone for Sakarya Gas Field Development Project

Istanbul, January 1, 2023 – ERGIL leading process and static equipment manufacture successfully completed and shipped Sand Treatment Package to Turkish Petroleum Corporation (TPAO) for Sakarya Gas Field Development Project (SGFD) at Black Sea, Turkey.

This package provides uninterrupted cleaning of sand build-up from oil and gas lines. Delivering the project as turnkey solution equipment is another important point of the project. “ Sand accumulation is a major problem for oil and gas pipelines. In order not to interrupt the line, various solutions have been tried to be developed against this situation. However, the line must not be interrupted during the cleaning of the accumulated sand. Any interruption on the line can cause huge time and cost losses”, says Tunc Tureli, Engineering Manager at ERGIL.
Sand filter package consists of filter vessel, piping, control panel, instruments, valves cabling and steel structure. CE approved modular structure is manufactured at ERGIL’s fabrication facility in Mersin, Turkey and shipped to the Sakarya Project Site directly. “This is another major milestone for our company. We are proud to support Turkish oil and gas industry and reduce its dependence on imports”, says Riza Altunergil, V.P. Sales & Marketing. He also adds, “ There are so many advantages of modular process systems as compare to manufacturing on site. Besides having better quality, It significantly reduces the manufacturing, testing and commissioning time. Manufacturing and installation at site is usually slower and requires high health & safety, however manufacturing at factory is easier to control and avoids any accidents. Filter vessel is designed as per ASME Sec. VIII Div.1 and certified according to both PED (2014/68/EU)and ATEX. System vessel is installed with heat tracing and insulated with aluminum cladding in order to avoid freezing or temperature fluctuation.

ERGIL, an Aager brand, is proud to announce the invention of a new and innovative Quick Opening Closure (QOC). The new style of QOC is constructed in accordance with strict international standards, offering a range of options for manufacturing with carbon steel, stainless steel, and other materials based on the specific needs of our customers. The QOC is suitable for use in a variety of industries, including oil & gas, chemical and petrochemical, wastewater treatment, and marine, for all types of pressure vessels.

The quick opening closure makes use of pressure-loaded components and complies fully with ASME Sec. VIII Div.1 UG-35.2. Our design-by-Analysis approach, in accordance with ASME Sec. VIII Div.1 U-2(g)(1)(-a) and Mandatory Appendix 46, evaluates the following failure modes: (a) Protection Against Plastic Collapse, (b) Protection Against Local Failure, (c) Protection Against Buckling, and (d) Protection Against Failure From Cyclic Loading.

OMV, a leading international oil and gas company, chose ERGIL, an Aager brand, for a customized pig launcher and receiver system. With its modular design and high-quality materials, ERGIL’s 40 years of experience in pipeline pigging systems made them the ideal partner for this project.

ERGIL delivered the project with ease, including 6-8” pig receiver and launcher, 12-16” pig receiver and launcher, and two pig trolleys with 12-16” dimensions that were easy to transport and install. The products also received an added layer of protection with a specially developed paint.

Thanks to ERGIL’s reliable products and the support of the Äager team, the project was a resounding success and took just ten weeks to complete after technical confirmation. OMV was highly impressed with the results and looks forward to future collaborations with Äager.

Global Crude Supply Concerns Raised by Aramco CEO

Amin Nasser, CEO of Saudi Aramco, the world’s largest oil company, has expressed concerns over the future availability of global crude supplies. Despite current market dynamics such as China’s slowdown and the recovering aviation sector keeping demand low, Nasser fears the world will not have enough spare capacity to handle the expected rise in demand. The International Energy Agency predicts that global oil demand will increase by 1.9 million barrels per day in 2023, while supply growth is expected to slow to 1 million barrels per day in the same period. Nasser emphasized the need for investment in hydrocarbon production to meet future demand and avoid a supply squeeze.
