Looks like pipe ship is now returning to base... Hopefully after successful pipe-laying !!!

Have secret stealth ship EDT Hercules somewhere, lol...

Still one month plus for TL to make appearance at Kraken field, so probably lots of prep work first...

Speaking of TL, think should be finished at Alma next week... Will have to see...

Also due #21 this week...

Good luck fellow ENQers

Hi CC

You are correct, MJF was 1900, other shallows made to 2100...

Makes delaying MJF prod licence application more compelling, as at that rate would take 5.19 months to recoup fee, never know, some background water ingress isolation work on 142 and 146 might be happening, can guess.

Not surprisingly, MO agrees with FK, is very obvious from recent comms that CASP focus is on delivering the deeps... At least can be confident have renewed BNG appraisal and exploration licence from 01-Jul, else would not be any activity.

Hopefully not long for info on 801, MO's confident on A5 fix, whether the issue will re-appear as a consequence of open hole method remains to be seen.

Will leave you with Clive's thoughts :-)

"We are at the final stages of the complex operation to get Deep Well 801 to flow and we remain confident of a positive outcome, although given past delays nothing is being taken for granted. We look forward to making further reports as soon as reliable additional information is available."

Lol all, have good-un

MO

Thanks for interesting info...

Is it worth waiting until bonus fee is no longer applicable in early 2019...

If producing approx 2,100 barrels (as per May info), sold at $20 profit = $42,000 per day, say $1.25m per month.

For them to raise $6m for fee in a cash neutral way, would need to sell all production for just under 5 months at world prices ($40 profit), the 80/20 world/local complicates things slightly.

So unless pumping at 4k bopd is more economical to wait until bonus is waived.

Roll on the deeps...

Good luck CASPers

MO

RIP...

Hope has sweet memories of linking-up with AK, was AK's first... Even got there through 17m waves...

Might be resurrected as tin of beans... Hopefully something more classy...

c'est la vie

MO

Good day E121 and fellow ENQers...

May was when AK had HSP pumps stopping and starting for acceptance testing, looks like was maintenance at Dons... and Thistle... also, think have approx total of ~52k boepd for May, Inc Malaysia and assoc gas

E121, can have AK data from Jan 2018

Good day all

Looks like offshore oil offloading terminal/jetty at New Orleans Port is max 60ft draught (approx 18m).

i.e. " Max. Size: Project depth 45 ft., berth depth 50 ft. Containers: Depth 50 ft. Passengers: Depth 30 ft. Bulk: Depth 40 ft. Tankers: Depth 60 ft. "

http://www.findaport.com/port-of-new-orleans

Can handle maybe tankers ~1m barrels, certainly much more than Port Arthur, TX (~500k barrels max)

All fun

Hopefully Alma works nearing conclusion, think have TL for about another week, before spends time at Azinor/Cairn exploration well, then DC4 drilling :-)

MO

Hey DA

Will keep an eye on it (ETA 2-Aug)... might offload 100k to reduce draught to 12.2m (max for Port Arthur).

Good luck

MO

Thinking about it...

Wonder if it was a late negotiated sale of the oil to the Netherlands... Versus USA

Sure shuttle tanker would have delivered, negating need for ship-to-ship transfer.

Anyway, here's to a good H2

MO

Good morning fellow ENQers...

MO still has a range, has narrowed considerably, is 552k - 577k (allowing for some ballast and no ballast), is purely mathematics.

Chilts, think is second European shipment, sure had early'ish load to Stockholm, Sweden, sure was Spirit tanker, think Scott Spirit.

Very happy with progress, looking forward to improvement with #21

Good luck all

MO

Have remembered...

Is about STS transfer to Stride in Scapa Flow...

If off to Gulf of Mexico canals will have no ballast...

Finished offload draughts and estimates of Kraken crude...

if Stride leaves with draught of...

13.2m = 550k
12.5m = 500k
11.6m = 450k

12.2m = max for Port Arthur = 485k

Is good to talk...

MO

Not much rain, but fresher feel, windy and nice :-)

Forgot what was gunna post, lol

Have good-un

MO + rose'

Good evening E121

Everyone having a ice cold drink by the river...

After hard weeks work... lol, sounds nice !!!

Have had three 10 day tankers, 10.3, 10.4 and 10.9 (2 in Feb, 1 in Apr)

Would be very nice, but MO happy with gradual pressure build-up, is prudent... Anything in the 11/12s is improvement...

Have great weekend E121 and fellow ENQers

MO

Another specialist ship on way to Kraken...

https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/details/ships/shipid:125643/mmsi:210776000/imo:9491422/vessel:EDT_HERCULES

Looks like crane ship, think safe to assume Kraken DC4 is now underway...

Good luck all

MO

CC

Are multitude of things to consider for good field life management, look at Chevron's Captain field in UK NS, been going over 20 years and still pumping well... Techniques and technology evolve quite rapidly in O&G, hope CASP benefits from this, sure have access to knowledgeable and plugged in consultants.

Also like the idea of CASP drilling first horizontal well at BNG, is good method for efficiently extracting long thin payzones and usually deliver good rates.

Water injector, gas lift, WAG etc are also part of EOR (Enhanced Oil Reovery), all linked together in the matrix, lol

Best wishes

MO

Water injection Is standard practice for late life field extension... Is part of maximising economic recovery... Is just one aspect of MER.

Is what MO's fave ENQ specialises in...

Effective water injection systems can considerably improve recovery factors and field life and without such activities, fields be uneconomical...

Is a natural process in field life cycle, Just like CASP are planning to do at MJF.

Best wishes

MO

Cheers E121

Provisional data...

Offload #20 (Navion Hispania) - Started: 25/7 17:00, left 27/7 09:30 (Duration: 40.5 hours) - Draught change: 2.6m - Estimated Offload: 358k-552k barrels (yes is large range, is a load of old ballast ;-})

12.1m (NH with summer loadline) - (ballast @9.5m pre-offload=365k Bbls 60k MT)

Range... No remaining ballast=552k AK oil, 1/3 ballast 20k mt = 423k oil, 1/2 ballast 30k mt = 358k oil

Best to wait until STS transfer to occur before final guess, but confident is at least 500k, but will wait for STS.

Best wishes

MO

Hey Auson

Navion Hispania should be setting their new draught, is good practice, is highly likely not yet set on AIS, sure will before enters Scapa Flow, but has been strange offload from start, lol, but got there in end....

NH's transponder is not turned-off, can go out of range from AIS repeater, is very common, nothing too sinister, promise...

AK's draught never changes...

Good luck

MO

Good morning fellow ENQers

Is finished now... 40.5hrs as guess departed at 09:30 (Bad AIS at crucial moment), no reported draught as of yet.

Good luck

MO

Good call FK

Not certain of current working interest for Dunga licence, but based on one company looks like is 60% Total (operator, formerly Maersk Oil), Partex Oil and Gas Group 20% and Oman Oil Company 20%

Good luck all CASPers

MO

Thinking about DC4...

Was planned for 4 well combined service manifold, 2xproducer, 2xinjector... but if look at tender request also has two x 1 wells as option...

i.e. 05/07/2018 ENQUEST UK NORTH SEA 1-2 X PSV SUPP. TO LEADER DC4 CAMPAIGN (4-5 MONTHS) + 2 X 1 WELL OPTS (90 DAYS EACH) 15/09/2018

Can see on "Long Term" tab

http://reports.platou.com/Pages/NorthSea.aspx

I wonder if these could be for the upside on the western flank ???

Should be interesting...

Cheers

MO
