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.

Shell Acquires Europe’s Largest Renewable Natural Gas Producer to Accelerate Energy Transition

Shell Petroleum NV, a subsidiary of Shell, has acquired Nature Energy Biogas A/S, the largest producer of renewable natural gas (RNG) in Europe. The purchase includes all of Nature Energy’s operating plants, feedstock supply and infrastructure, as well as its in-house expertise in RNG plant technology. Nature Energy has 14 operating plants and a pipeline of around 30 new plant projects in Europe and North America.

This acquisition supports Shell’s goal to build a global integrated RNG value chain and expand its low-carbon offerings to customers across multiple sectors. RNG, also known as biomethane, is chemically identical to conventional natural gas and can be used in existing transmission and distribution infrastructure, making it a competitive option to decarbonize multiple sectors. The acquisition aligns with Shell’s Powering Progress strategy to accelerate its energy transition and is expected to be profitable for the company. Nature Energy will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Shell, initially under its existing brand.

Oil and gas exploration sector sees best year in over a decade, creating $33bn in value

According to the report, the success of the exploration sector in 2022 was due to strategic selection and focus on the best and largest prospects, resulting in an average discovery size of over 150 million BOE, more than double the average of the previous decade. Deepwater discoveries in Namibia, pre-salt exploration areas offshore Guyana and Brazil, and onshore discoveries in the Algerian desert contributed the highest value to last year’s new finds.

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.

Additionally, ASME Sec. VIII Div.1 UG-99 is used to compute the hydrostatic test pressure, taking into consideration any differences in piping standards (ASME B31.4/8, etc.). Trust ERGIL to provide you with a safe, reliable, and easy-to-use Quick Opening Closure for all your pressure vessel needs.

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.

Uganda begins drilling in Kingfisher oil field

Uganda has started drilling operations in its Kingfisher oil field, operated by Chinese oil company CNOOC. The field holds an estimated 1.4 billion barrels of oil and the country aims to start production by 2025. The ministry of energy and mines representative, Solomon Muyita, confirmed plans to build the world’s longest heated oil pipeline to connect the field to the Indian Ocean port of Tanga in Tanzania. However, the plans have faced criticism from environmental activists who claim that the pipeline will harm the country’s ecosystem and displace residents.

Eni to Invest $8 Billion in Libya Natural Gas Fields

Eni SpA is set to move forward with a potential investment of $8 billion in two offshore natural gas fields in Libya.
