Good day fellow ENQers

Looks like TL move from Azinor/Cairn prospect delayed until end of month now, from what was 35 day drill has turned into almost double that, drilling still ongoing following a couple of re-spuds (must have been issues with shallow subsurface), anyway is their business...

If interested Cairn's Ekland prospect looks close to conclusion, tugs heading out to Ensco 101... and if PMOer Catcher rig Ensco 100 looks to have completed drilling program and left the field...

Good luck all

MO

LOL :-)

Well Stimulation !!!

Have new ship that MO has admired for many, many months... Have seen go to many fields, but never observed at an ENQ field...

Well have now, has been at West Don field for last couple of days... Can see lovely ship... Hope wells getting nice and stimulated, best with happy ending !!!

Is pretty quiet on the seas at the mo, hopefully all assets are effectively producing for Q4, nice API tonight (> 2m draw), EIA tomorrow for more accurate data.

Think could be unpredictable ENQ SP over next couple of weeks, with RI results and shares available, but overall should (and deserves to) head higher, especially with Magnus 75% $500m NPV not far off.

Fingers crossed for top update end of Nov, will probably be plenty RNS over next few weeks...

MO happy to be an ENQer

Good luck all

Tanker #26 soon, lol ;-}

Hey Vesta

I've never let my rights lapse, but from what have read, you should get a payment from the issuer's underwriters following RI conclusion.

Obviously unable to offer advice, ideally any rights not used would have been better sold when at 16p versus 10p.

Most online brokers are close to sealing the books for clients' RI request (mine's already closed), so those with direct market access are at an advantage as can exercise rights until Friday close.

Is a bit of a crappy situation, but like you, MO in ENQ for the long term... So not too concerned... Could be an opportunity :-)

Good luck

MO

Good evening all

The plug is usually dropped away from any SURF, pipelines etc, then retrieved later with a beacon attached...

Can see an example from 9:20 in...

Good luck

Is the BLUE shape heading SE at the mo...

*When it moves away from land tracking becomes intermittent, so you'll have to set alerts on "back in range"

Hi JayKay1

Nothing wrong with curiosity... Is how we learn...

I think you'll find that the main props will have no further use when stationed on STP bouy, which will be its anchor in the future as it rotates around freely to weather vane with wind and waves, there are a lot of strains on the STP anchors, but they usually are anchored with 10+ cables, so is pretty strong, needs to be with 70Kt winds and 17m waves, is what have seen at Armada Kraken last year.

Below is a video of a similar scenario to AM (FPSO Maersk Peregrino), using own power/props for last voyage to get to field, is 43mins, worth a watch if have spare time... 6mins in discusses sealing prop chambers etc.

I've not looked at specs for Aoka Mizu, but usually power plants can run on a mixture of fuels, i.e. crude, associated gas, gas import, delivered diesel etc.

Anyway, will leaver HURers in peace...

Good luck all

MO

Not sure if any help...

Kraken stopped off at Malta for a couple of days, then Rotterdam for a couple of weeks for pre-checks and waiting for a weather window to hook-up with pre-installed STP bouy at field (was January/Feb so mid-winter).

You should be looking for December hook-up, but as MO has learned, patience is required, is major milestone of your big project...

Then need calm weather for a couple of days, for turret rotational tests etc.

That's the only weather sensitive works, then commissioning etc...

Anyway, hope is exciting times and MO wishes well...

Boyzee

Knots are the nautical measurement of SPEED, not acceleration...

It originated from knots on a rope.

Anyway, have enjoyed watching your FPSO set sail, did expect it to be tugged to destination, but obviously still has it's own engine and propellers etc...

Last two FPSOs have observed have not ability to travel alone and have no propellers, rudders etc... Kraken and Catcher both required several tugs to come from far-east.

Good luck all

MO

Good day E121

Looks like will STS in Skagen bay, Minerva Atlantica heading that way also... Has been removed from Orkney Shipping... Should have just gone to Sullom Voe... Is open for business today and weather is ok...

Is typical of the week... but show must go on :-)

Have a good-un

MO

Just to add...

Catcher fields have a large well-stock, so should be able to pump at high levels for a good while, is MO's guess anyway...

Cheers all

MO

Is current drill program...

Can see had to sidetrack a couple...

MO

Hi Plebleens

Pretty sure it's been drilling non-stop all 2018 in and around Catcher fields, moved from Catcher to Burgman, many months ago...

Can see status of wells, need to look-up LICENCE P1430 (looks like on the last one, well 28/09a-B5)

https://itportal.ogauthority.co.uk/edufox5live/fox/edu/WONS_WELLBORE_SEARCH_PUBLIC

Data is not realtime, but usually updated in reasonable time.

Good luck all

MO

Cheers Jan

MO could easily keep info to self, but has gained much knowledge from many LSE contributors, MO is giving back in what way can (being observer with voice)...

Is always MO's best guess, refined through learning... and subject to scrutiny and human error.

Sometimes silence is golden, but that's for another day....

Anyway, MO gunna find some SCI-FI to observe...

LOL all, have good-un

MO

Cheers Squif

Your sincerity makes my heart go boom :-) Anyway, is peace and love for MO...

MO does enjoy observing, learning and understanding, can be fun.... Some things in life you should not put a price on...

Is all irrelevant anyway... Have a good-un

MO + max rose'

Dear Squificus Maximus....

AK is getting back to where should be, can sense...

Scolty/Crathes will be fixed next year, Scolty will do 4-5k bopd gross... Not sure about Eagle field for 2019, but possible.

Alma etc, can only go on what said at interims... Following by Bob Davenport !!!

"As I mentioned earlier, in August, we have completed the 3 ESP replacement workovers at Alma. And aggregate production is now improved as planned, and all major shutdowns have been completed in the CNS area.

Focus for the second half of 2018, therefore, will be on maintaining high uptimes; optimizing production from the 3 new ESP replacements at Alma and Galia and at Scolty/Crathes via lift gas cycling; preparing for the Scolty/Crathes replacement pipeline, which is scheduled for the summer of 2019; and of course, progressing technical and commercial work to monetize the nearby Eagle discovery.

In summary then, at CNS, production is below the same period last year, but steady with high uptime and now higher in the second half following the 3 ESP replacements. Further production growth will come from the Scolty/Crathes pipeline next year and potentially from Eagle."

Love ya

MO

PS... AS now doing 8 knots lol

Cheers E121, MO is.... ;-)

Is strange move by AS, could have travelled quite a distance detached 15:30

Anyway, is peace and love tonight.... and as always time will tell...

Have good one E121 and all

MO

Good evening all

Was tough week, is it safe to come out yet ??

Can't be certain, but Amundsen Spirit is still lurking a few miles south-west of AK...

https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/centerx:1.1/centery:59.9/zoom:11

Maybe AK has more to give for #25, would be the first time any shuttle tanker came back for seconds, maybe add 50-75k.... Time will tell

Chilts will understand... MO thinking Navion Anglia with Alvheim FPSO manoeuvre :-)

If AS heading for shelter surely would be on way to Scapa...

Is not too far from tropical storm force winds, 60 Kts with 8m max waves...

Anyway... Have good weekend all...

MO

All done...

27hrs approx duration, draught 12.5m = 525k Kraken crude estimated offload...

Good luck all ENQers

Full rights taken...

MO

Tis windy out there SpinD

Anyway, after spending several hours getting reacquainted, looks like Amundsen Spirit is having a go...

https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/centerx:1.294/centery:59.926/zoom:15

Is pretty windy, as can see from live weather at nearby TL drill...

Good luck fellow ENQers is rough weather all over...

MO

Hi CC

MO is relative newcomer to CASP, did buy the 7p, is not in dispute... Did also nibble at 13.5p

Is a good story with hopefully a happy ending... :-)

Have read much, but at end of day is nuts and bolts... and getting the deeps flowing...

Don't you think AIM 50 is a presumption ???

MO would never be so insulting to say knows the intricacies of CASP like you and FK, just think are close to moving up...

Good luck

MO
