Glad you enjoyed spindok, was interesting, drama thrown in for good measure...

If want to see extent of pipes from DC3 to DC4, can past track Stornes and zoom in to bottom left (thick lines)

Defo coming in this time... < 100m to go, maybe 18:30 link-up ???

Check NO's past track and zoom in to current position...

https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/shipid:372801/tracktype:8/lpt:1533100980

Think may have been waiting for Stornes to leave... Has been up and down DC3 to DC4 pipes several times, hopefully safely rockdumped now...

MO

Hi Chilts...

Is very tricky to work it out, but unless AK has extended offload hose by around 2-300m, just does not compute as close enough...

Will check the past track in an hour and hopefully will be close enough.

Poor AIS is not helping, AK might want her privacy....

Cheers

MO

Hi Chilts...

Did come in, but backed off... Still about 350m away, swirling winds, AK's stern is now pointing NE...

Good luck

MO

Looks like a couple of hundred metres to go...

AIS is very bitty, but should be connected within next hour, think will be a 500k'ish offload as current schedule dictates departure tomorrow mid-afternoon (can change).

AK's AIS is many hours old, so stern is not pointing SW, is more like NNW.

KO...

They probably have a written contract containing the full acceptance criteria, once this has been achieved the vessel can be signed-off and officially handed over to Bumi operations.

It could be already... But then sure BUMI would be shouting it out ???

As E121 said, is only significant contractually, how AK actually performs will ultimately affect SP.

Anyway, MO's prediction is that will be good update, not sure if will be FTSE 250 good, but should see some re-rates etc.

Can guess...

Best wishes

MO

Evening Gents (and ladies) and...

MO prefers a more constructive and pragmatic approach, lol

Is in both companies' interests for AK to perform as well as possible, MO's not a BUMIer, lol but they are a partner for AK...

Hopefully update is coming next week, and will answer some questions...

Good luck all

MO

Showing as completed and Operating in OGA well database...

All coming together...

Good luck

MO

Have even made a documentary about STORNES...

Is apparently most advanced rock dumping ship in world !!!

LOL all

MO

Looks like have a definite date for TL move to Azinor/Cairn prospect, hence Alma workover conclusion, hope to see all wells online soon. All but one of seven wells have been shut-in for many months, including water injection, should give a nice boost when pressurised.

Also, STORNES not crane ship, looks like dredger/rock dumper thingy...

Feeling a bit more positive this week...

Good luck

MO

Hopefully will know more with official ENQ update by end of August.

I would not be surprised if works have been brought forward, but then again, might be to do with prep-work for DC4...

MO's feeling ~80% positive impact following good update... Was hoping for higher, lol

Have good-un

MO

Good morning Chilts

Looks like massive crane ship has arrived at AK and heading to DC4/DC3 tie-in.

With wind coming from SE, is putting AK's stern towards DC4, with big tanker on back would leave not too much room...

Anyway, good to see tanker...

Best wishes

MO

PS... Hopefully Alma finished in next couple of days...

Good day Chilts and fellow ENQers

Have observed Navion Oceania revving up engines... No AIS Destination as of yet...

Could get there by tomorrow am... Would be 17 days at 09:30 (hope is a good reason, i.e. bringing forward Sept works)

Good luck all

MO

Good morning all...

Tis 14 days since #20 NH departed... and looking like nothing today...

A little disappointed, was hoping for a 12/13 day turnaround...

Wondering whether DC4 plumbing into DC3 might have slowed production on one train, or continued commissioning, is hard to know.

MO's not panicking just yet, as KO pointed out, ENQ did say expect irregular offloads for now...

AK is an important part of the picture, so can only wait and will hold off top-ups for now.

Good luck all

MO

Looks like AS is for Catcher...

MO

Hi hhchu2000

Probably best if you contact ENQ directly... Hopefully they will offer you a fuller answer (please feel free to share any interesting info).

MO's is unable to observe such info...

Can be sure AB won't sign-off unless all criteria is met and AK's roaring on all cylinders.

Good luck

MO

Hiya Chilts...

MO fantasy offload would be AS departing later today for link-up tomorrow, STS to Marbat (2m+ barrel tanker already in Scapa), has some room for a bit of Kraken crude...

MO's nightmare scenario is AS to Glen Lyon, SN to Catcher and no AK tanker by weekend...

MO's gunna be cool, not gunna be flustered by any shuttle faffing etc, lol

Have a good-un

MO

Hello hhchu2000

DC4 installation and AK's acceptance are not related, criteria is AK's ability to handle Kraken field's full well capacity and other factors... Is probably best to wait until late Aug official ENQ update for details on this.

DC4 project has only just started (i.e drilling template and plumbing into DC3 etc), drilling won't commence for at least a month+ and production not anticipated until Q1 2019.

Can only observe tankers etc until then... Which is now 12 full days (as of 09:30) since #20 Navion Hispania left with BIG load...

Unlikely #21 today, will have to see if get one tomorrow and how large is offload...

Good luck fellow ENQers

MO

PS... Hopefully Alma finished by Friday'ish, will keep an eye for TL move

Don't worry F_AHL, have seen discussed in the past

KIKEH is a glitch in the AIS matrix, no doubt down to human error, deliberate or accidental...

Can look at Magnus Platform on MarineTraffic... for some reason someone has updated AIS destination to "Clair Ridge" or Ridge USA...

https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/details/ships/shipid:22515/mmsi:2320212/vessel:MAGNUS PLATFOROM

Dohhh, really, on a fixed platform !!!!

Is not perfect...

Good luck

MO

PS... Who for #21... Maybe Stena Natalita at MacDuff or could be Amundsen Spirit, still in Scapa Flow... Will it be big load or normal ??? When will turn-up, soon I hope...

Hi hhchu2000

Is all down to hard work, observing and documenting events... Is proprietary MO and LSE ENQ BB info (with help of fellow ship watchers etc) compiled to assist us in judging AK's performance. MO tries to be as accurate as possible.

Have no idea for AK's final acceptance, but should be updated towards end of Aug, should be there or there about... Can be sure AB will not handover until all i's are dotted.

Should be a good month, fingers crossed...

Good luck

MO
