3McDermottlogoMcDermott International, Inc. (NYSE:MDR) announces it has been awarded a lump sum contract by Saudi Aramco for brownfield work in various fields offshore Saudi Arabia.

Work on the contract is expected to be executed through the second quarter of 2018. The award follows the June 2015 signing of a second Long Term Agreement (LTA) between McDermott and Saudi Aramco for engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) opportunities in various fields offshore Saudi Arabia.

The package of various EPCI projects that make up the lump sum award represent the largest single award for McDermott’s Middle East Area operations in company history. Revenue from the fixed-price award will be included in McDermott’s third quarter 2015 backlog.

“Winning this important award and signing the new LTA sends a clear signal that our increased engagement with key clients is generating concrete results,” said David Dickson, McDermott’s President and CEO. “Our detailed knowledge and understanding of Saudi Aramco’s objectives, as well as our proven excellence in the Kingdom and the region continue to set us apart. Delivering on strong project execution and integrating McDermott’s local knowledge are critical to future success as we execute these and other projects for Saudi Aramco.”

Tom Mackie, McDermott’s Vice President, Middle East, said, “As one of the original two contractors for Saudi Aramco’s first LTA in 2007, we understand Saudi Aramco’s offshore fields, standards and specifications – and the value that Saudi Aramco places in McDermott’s fully integrated EPCI solutions.”

During the execution of the projects under the fixed price contract, McDermott plans to maximize in-Kingdom execution activities with a significant portion of the engineering and fabrication scope expected to be carried out by its engineering office in Al Khobar and fabrication facility in Dammam, respectively.

Additional services are expected to be provided by McDermott engineering teams in Dubai, United Arab Emirates and Chennai, India. Procurement is expected to be managed by McDermott’s Global Procurement Office based in Dubai and vessels from the McDermott global fleet, including specialized shallow-water installation vessels, are scheduled to undertake offshore installation.

McDermott provides its investors with information relating to estimated contract value in its quarterly supplemental financial information slides which can be found on the Investor Relations section of McDermott’s web site. This award would fall into the largest descriptor range included in these slides.

The first piece of the Johan Sverdrup development has now been completed and installed on the field in the North Sea.

It was Heerema Marine Contractors’ crane vessel “Thialf” that completed the installation of the 280-tonne pre-drilling template on the Johan Sverdrup field.

“We have completed and installed the first piece of one of the largest industrial projects in Europe. We still have a long journey ahead in the Johan Sverdrup development, but we are very pleased that we have completed and installed the subsea template without serious incidents and according to plan. This is a good start according to the required quality and precision standards for successful implementation of the development,” says Kjetel Digre, head of the Johan Sverdrup field development.

2StatoilThe pre-drilling template is 32 meters long and 10 meters high.

Heerema Marine Contractors were responsible for design, building and installing the pre-drilling template.

The 32-meter-long, 10-meter-high pre-drilling template is one of the smallest building blocks of the Johan Sverdrup development but plays a key role in the project.

The pre-drilling template contains eight well slots that allow production wells to be pre-drilled before the drilling platform is installed in 2018 and production starts at Johan Sverdrup in late 2019.

Pre-drilling allows the production capacity to be utilized as efficiently as possible when Johan Sverdrup has come on stream. Pre-drilling and the pre-drilling template thus help capture maximum value for the partners and the whole society over the next 50 years.

The «Deepsea Atlantic» drilling rig will start pre-drilling on the Johan Sverdrup field through the pre-drilling template from March 2016.

“The activity level for the Johan Sverdrup project will be substantially increased as new steps are taken in the field development. We are working closely with the suppliers in the platform pre-engineering process. We have awarded several main contracts and utility packages worth more than NOK 40 billion so far. More contracts will be awarded during the autumn. We have also started building the first platform jacket at Kværner Verdal. So far, the Johan Sverdrup development is on track,” says Digre.

The Johan Sverdrup partnership consists of Statoil, Lundin Norway, Petoro, Det norske oljeselskap and Maersk Oil. The partnership has recommended Statoil as the operator of all field phases.

4AirbornelogoFollowing the successful completion of a 3 year qualification program of subsea flowline for hydrocarbon service, PETRONAS has requested Airborne Oil & Gas to supply a TCP Flowline for a pilot project, intended to be installed later this year.

The scope includes the delivery of a 550 meters TCP Flowline, ancillaries, offshore installation, engineering and field support. The 6 inch ID TCP Flowline is to be installed in 30 meters water depth connecting two platforms located offshore Malaysia.

Datin Rashidah Karim, Head of Operational Technology of PETRONAS Carigali said, “At PETRONAS we recognize the potential for the use of Non-Metallic Pipe as a substitute for carbon steel under certain conditions and will embark on the world’s first offshore pilot having done extensive qualification of the material, installability and operability of the pipe. The TCP Flowline does not corrode, reducing the OPEX significantly. Furthermore, by close collaboration between the installation contractor, Airborne Oil & Gas and PETRONAS, adopting an integral design approach, a cost effective installation method has been developed that allows for a total project cost reduction while meeting PETRONAS’ requirements such as for instance on-bottom stability".

The lightweight TCP Flowline is supplied in long lengths, spooled on transport drums. Martin van Onna, Chief Commercial Officer: "This project marks the world’s first pilot for a TCP Flowline, and the beginning of a new phase in the relationship between PETRONAS and Airborne Oil & Gas. We are grateful for the support from PETRONAS during this important time in our development, in which we jointly completed the qualification, performed installation trials and demonstrated the capability of the TCP Flowline in this demanding environment, both technically and commercially."

"With this project, we now have commercial deliveries on all our Thermoplastic Composite Pipe products: Downlines and Dynamic Jumpers for well intervention, Static Jumpers and Spools for injection, and Flowlines for hydrocarbon service. The potential for Flowlines in particular is very large; we manufacture up to 7 inch ID TCP Flowline, replacing 8 inch nominal steel pipe as well as conventional flexible pipe. We manufacture these in lengths up to 3000 meters per spool, allowing fast installation by reel lay method, reducing installation cost significantly and with that the total project cost," said Martin.

Marking the fifth anniversary of the Macondo incident in the Gulf of Mexico, a summary of inquiries into the tragedy flags up key ways to prevent a repeat

Much has been done to reduce the risk of another major incident such as the Macondo tragedy, but more change is needed. This is a key message in a new summary by DNV GL of findings and recommendations by 21 major inquiries into the BP Deepwater Horizon drilling rig explosion and oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010. The inquiries were conducted by governmental, industry and independent organizations in the US, UK, Norway and the Republic of the Marshall Islands.

“We have carried out this review because no single investigation provides a full overview of the actions recommended to prevent another Macondo,” said Peter Bjerager, director for the Americas, DNV GL - Oil & Gas. “There will doubtless be further investigations, particularly around long-term environmental effects of the spill. The US Chemical Safety Board (CSB) intends to address organizational and human factors. Five years on though, it is timely to review key lessons and recommendations.”

1DNVGL-macondoLessons learned

Broad subject headings for the recommendations from all 21 inquiries are summarized in the table to the right. Among technically-focused investigations, the US Justice Department commissioned a DNV GL forensic examination of the Deepwater Horizon rig’s blowout preventer (BOP) recovered from the seafloor. DNV GL made detailed recommendations[1] regarding BOP design and operation issues.

Among the most high profile studies, the US Deepwater Horizon Commission[2] and its chief counsel[3] included lessons learned for industry, government and energy policy. The Commission stressed how culture was a key factor for enhancing safety and discussed issues affecting BP, its contractors, and the industry in the Gulf of Mexico generally. The organization and response by US federal and state agencies, and the cooperation of BP and the whole industry, was commended by the national incident commander, Admiral Thad Allen.

In other nations, the Norwegian Oil and Gas Association (formerly OLF), led an inquiry for which DNV GL reviewed regulatory differences between the US and Norway. This concluded that the Norwegian Continental Shelf had robust legislation and safe operations.[4] It made 45 recommendations for improvements to prevention, intervention and response, and summarized those related to well control and response issues.

In the UK, the Health and Safety Laboratory (HSL) studied fire and explosion issues related to Macondo. HSL relied on key investigations elsewhere, mainly in the US, and found that recommendations from these generally matched those for offshore UK.[5]

The legacy

DNV GL’s summary of inquiries flags the legacy of reforms to reduce risk and improve occupational and process safety. “Many key recommendations have been adopted in one form or another,” Bjerager said. He cited the emergence of two new US regulatory entities: the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM). This has separated safety oversight from resource management. “The set-up now emphasizes goal-based safety and includes increased numbers of inspectors to boost presence offshore in both safety and environment.”

BSEE has issued new requirements for: drilling safety; BOP recertification; negative pressure tests; professional engineer sign-off on casing and cement; and for a compulsory estimate of worst-case blowout events.

The American Petroleum Institute (API) and the International Association of Drilling Contractors have worked on an interface requirement between rig lessees and drilling contractors. Several new API standards are available. SEMS I & II have been implemented with the new Center for Offshore Safety defining the protocols and approving third-party audit service providers.

BSEE has provided guidance on safety culture, and is working with another US federal agency to implement a confidential reporting system for offshore incidents and near misses. The Bureau has also established the Ocean Energy Safety Institute within Texas A&M University. This will research longer-term issues such as risk, reliability data, and the best available and safest technologies.

The US Coast Guard service has issued guidance on additional fire and explosion assessments that it would like to see introduced, and has highlighted safety culture issues. Two response consortia have been established in Houston (MWCC and Helix). The International Association of Oil and Gas Producers (formerly OGP) has set up consortia at four international locations to provide emergency response support. API and the Norwegian Technology Centre, which develops NORSOK standards, have updated standards for drilling and well control, and have made their safety standards freely available. “Detailed assessments of fire and explosion lessons from Macondo have been made and are finding their way into designs,” Bjerager added.

CSB investigated the BOP failure after DNV GL’s forensic examination. It concluded that regulations should be updated to identify critical parts of safety equipment and ensure that these all operate reliably. The co-chairs of the Deepwater Horizon Commission maintain the oscaction.org website to monitor progress on implementation of its recommendations, and issue annual progress reports. “Generally it concludes that industry and the executive branch of the US government have done a good job implementing recommendations, but US Congress lags behind,” said Bjerager.

Global response

There has been change elsewhere. The European Union (EU) is adopting a safety-case approach similar to that of the UK, for all EU offshore developments. Australia has expanded coverage of its regulator, the National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Environmental Management Authority (NOPSEMA), to address drilling and environmental impacts because of Montara and Macondo, and to move closer to the goal of having a single offshore regulator.

“The UK and Norway believe their goal-setting approaches were not challenged by Macondo, but that many detailed aspects of drilling safety needed enhancement. The UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE), Norway’s Petroleum Safety Authority and the International Association of Oil and Gas Producers are working on these issues,” Bjerager said. “Still, some important recommendations for the US regulatory system have yet to be adopted. The US appears not ready to adopt mandatory risk assessment with a risk target nor, at least as a partial step, to nominate safety-critical items with defined performance standards.” Download the report at: www.dnvgl.com/macondo.

6Subsea7logoSubsea 7 S.A. (Oslo Børs: SUBC, ADR: SUBCY) has announced the award of a subsea, umbilical, riser and flowline (SURF) contract by Maersk Oil with a value in excess of USD 150 million for the Culzean development.

The ultra-high pressure, high temperature field, one of the largest gas discoveries offshore UK, is located in Block 22/25 of the Central North Sea at a water depth of approximately 90 meters.

The contract scope includes project management, engineering, procurement, construction and installation of a 22" diameter 52 km gas export pipeline connected to the Central Area Transmission System (CATS), and a 3.6 km pipe-in-pipe (10" outer pipe and 6" inner pipe) providing insulation for the transportation of the condensate to the in-field Floating, Storage and Offloading facility (FSO). The pipe-in-pipe will be laid with a 4" piggy-back line that will transport fuel gas to the FSO. Subsea 7 will also provide subsea structures, tie-ins to the Culzean platform facilities and pre-commissioning expertise.

Project management and engineering work will commence immediately from Subsea 7's Aberdeen office. Offshore activities will utilize a number of Subsea 7 vessels including the highly versatile pipelay and heavy-lift vessel, Seven Borealis.

Offshore operations are scheduled to commence in 2017.

Phil Simons, Vice President UK and Canada, said: "This large project awarded by Maersk Oil for their Culzean field development, confirms our reputation as a world-class provider of reliable and cost-effective SURF solutions. The Seven Borealis has the ability to deliver fit-for-purpose performance demonstrating the optimum balance of cost-efficiency and capability. We look forward to collaborating with Maersk to ensure the safe and timely delivery of this significant gas production development."

Operation Completed Safely, Without Harming Staff or Environment

9CISConductor Installation Services (CIS), an Acteon company that provides hammer services to install conductors and drive piles, has successfully installed directional conductors to form the basis of two new production wells as part of a major project offshore Australia.

Although CIS has installed directional conductors for numerous operators around the world, the recent operation was the first time that the company had installed them for this particular operator. “Because the project plays such a vital role in the supply of gas to Australians, we are acutely aware of how important it is that each and every phase of construction is completed safely, with attention to detail and sensitivity to the environment,” said Andy Penman, Group Managing Director of CIS. “We are extremely pleased that this inaugural operation for this operator was a success.”

To ensure that the operation would be executed successfully, it was critical that the conductors be properly positioned before being driven into the seabed. CIS engineers carefully assessed the angles required so that the conductors would be appropriately offset. The company also produced three customized deviated drive shoes necessary to drive the conductors: two for the wells and one as a back-up. The directional drive shoes were then welded onto the conductor pup joints at the CIS Asia Pacific Region base in Singapore. Once this was completed, they were transported to Australia.

Working from the Sea Drill West Telesto jack up rig, CIS used a 150 kJ hydraulic hammer to install the conductors safely, driving them approximately 126 meters subsea and a further 117 meters below the mudline to their respective target depths. The total length of each conductor extended 243 meters.

The platform is live, so CIS chose to use a cold cutter system to cut the conductors to the correct height and the required bevel in order to prepare them for receiving the respective wellheads. By doing so, the cutting process was executed safely in a potentially explosive gas environment. CIS completed the entire offshore operation in three days.

The range of services provided by CIS supports the Acteon Group’s commitment to defining subsea services across a range of interconnected disciplines. The company is an active member of Acteon’s Seabed Foundation Technologies.

8Aquatic LogoAquatic Engineering and Construction Ltd, an Acteon company, has been awarded a multi-million pound contract on the $10 billion Moho Nord subsea project, off the coast of the Republic of Congo, West Africa. The contract was awarded by a UK-based subcontractor working for Total E&P Congo. Aquatic’s ten-month campaign portion will mobilize in October 2015.

Aquatic, the global partner for complete flex-lay solutions, will supply reel drive systems, together with a team of supervisors and technicians. They will provide the technical expertise and support to operate the equipment hired for the duration of the operation. Aquatic will be instrumental in the installation of 23 km of subsea flexible pipes and 50 km of umbilicals.

The Moho Nord subsea deepwater offshore project is located approximately 75 km off the coast of Pointe Noire and is the latest project being developed in the Moho-Bilondo License. Since 2013, three other Acteon companies (2H Offshore, SRP and UTEC Survey) have been awarded work on the Moho Nord subsea project. Each Acteon group operating company functions as a discrete business, while complementing sister companies to add value for the customer.

Martin Charles, Aquatic’s managing director, said, “This project is the most significant for Aquatic to date, and affords us the opportunity to forge a closer relationship with our customer in a new geographical location, while levering support from other Acteon Group operating companies. Our people and equipment will work in close partnership with our customer to deliver the project safely and on time, where output is expected to achieve 140,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day by 2017.”

2First-Subsea-Wraps-Up-Goliat-FPSO-Project-480x304First Subsea has successfully completed the installation of bend stiffener connections for gas lift and production risers, power cables and umbilicals, for the Goliat FPSO in the Norwegian Barents Sea. Operated by ENI Norge AS, the Goliat FPSO is the first offshore oil development in Norway's Arctic region, in the Barents Sea.

In total the Goliat FPSO features 11 Type II bend stiffener connections (BSC) at present, with a further 10 receptacle I-tubes pre-installed within the base of the vessel, enabling more tie-backs to be added as field production increases. The Type II BSC was selected for the Goliat tie-backs because the receptacle has no moving parts, enabling a simpler riser, umbilical or cable connection.

The First Subsea Type II BSC comprises a ball and taper connector attached to a bend stiffener, which is pulled into a pre-machined I-tube. The connector is self-energising and self-aligning, and features First Subsea’s Automatic Release Clamp (ARC) enabling both diverless and ROVless bend stiffener connections.

The Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) held an oil and gas lease sale for the Western Gulf of Mexico that drew $22,675,212 in high bids for tracts on the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf offshore Texas.

A total of 5 offshore energy companies submitted 33 bids on 33 tracts, covering about 190,080 acres. The sum of all bids received totaled $22,675,212.

“The Gulf remains a critical component of our nation’s energy portfolio and holds important energy resources that spur economic opportunities for Gulf producing states, creating jobs and home-grown energy and reducing our dependence on foreign oil,” said BOEM Director Abigail Ross Hopper. “While this sale reflects today’s market conditions and industry’s current development strategy, it underscores a steady, continued interest in developing deep water federal offshore oil and gas resources.”

Lease Sale 246 builds on the first seven sales held under the Obama Administration’s Outer Continental Shelf Oil and Gas Leasing Program for 2012-2017 (Five Year Program) that offered more than 60 million acres for development, garnered $2.9 billion in bid revenues and awarded 1,038 leases. The Five Year Program makes available all offshore areas with the highest resource potential and includes 75 percent of the nation’s undiscovered, technically recoverable offshore oil and gas resources.

“As one the most productive basins in the world, the Gulf of Mexico continues to be the keystone of the Nation’s offshore oil and gas resources,” Hopper said. “The continuing drop in oil prices and low natural gas prices obviously affect industry’s short-term investment decisions, but the Gulf’s long-term value to the nation remains high and the President’s energy strategy continues to offer millions of offshore acres for development while protecting the human, marine and coastal environments, and ensuring a fair return to the American people.”

Lease Sale 246 offered 4,083 unleased blocks, covering about 21.9 million acres, located from nine to 250 nautical miles offshore in water depths ranging from 16 to more than 10,975 feet (5 to 3,340 meters).

BOEM established the terms for this sale after extensive environmental analysis, public comment and consideration of the best scientific information available. These terms include measures to protect the environment, such as stipulations requiring that operators protect biologically sensitive features as well as providing trained protected species observers. The observers would monitor marine mammals and sea turtles to ensure compliance with protective measures and restrict operations when conditions warrant.

The lease terms include a range of incentives to encourage diligent development and ensure a fair return to taxpayers. The leases would also allow a lessee to earn a longer lease term for spudding a well in deeper water or by drilling to a minimum target depth.

Following today’s sale, each bid will go through a strict evaluation process within BOEM to ensure the public receives fair market value before a lease is awarded.

Statistics for Lease Sale 246 are available at http://www.boem.gov/Sale-246/ or at www.boem.gov.

BOEM oversees 160 million acres on the Outer Continental Shelf in the Gulf of Mexico off Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida. About 26.6 million acres (4,938 blocks) are leased for oil and gas development; and 4.7 million of those acres (967 blocks) are producing oil and natural gas.

10SongaEnduranceSonga Offshore has taken delivery of Songa Endurance from Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) in Korea.

Songa Endurance will shortly depart South Korea en route to Norway for commencement of an eight-year drilling contract with Statoil, with first assignment on the Troll Field on the Norwegian continental shelf. The voyage to Norway will take place with tow-assist and the rig will arrive with all third party equipment installed and ready for final acceptance testing. Commencement of drilling operations is expected to take place around year-end.

Songa Endurance is a sixth generation, high specification, harsh environment, midwater rig designed for efficient year around drilling, completion, testing and intervention operations in water depths up to 500 meters. The rig is certified DP3 and is equipped with a "state-of-the-art" drill-floor and an efficient layout with improved safety and working environment features.

Songa Endurance is the second rig in a series of four Category D rigs specifically built for and contracted to Statoil.

The sharp fall in oil prices has resulted in intensified competition within the offshore oil and gas industry and the prevailing market situation confirms a continued uncertainty ahead. The market was quick to re-evaluate its processes and budgets, redirecting its primary focus to cutting costs, adding value and increasing efficiency.

InterMoor Inc., an Acteon company, provided Anadarko Petroleum Corporation with rapid hook-up services for their Heidelberg truss spar in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico after stepping in at short notice for another contractor. InterMoor’s extensive offshore mooring experience enabled it to adapt its procedures in a short amount of time, to safely accomplish the job quickly and efficiently, and to ensure the new production facility was safely secured in case of a storm.

3Intermoor-Getting-ready-to-moor-the-Heidelberg-truss-spar-in-the-Gulf-of-MexicoThe company hooked up the 80,000 bbl/d spar to three mooring lines in Green Canyon block 860, offshore Louisiana, at a water depth of 5,300 ft (1600 m). The project’s original contractor then resumed the job and completed the remaining six mooring lines along with the completion of the spar installation.

InterMoor initiated the engineering work in March 2015, began offshore work in early June and completed its part of the hook-up in July.

Todd Veselis, manager of projects, InterMoor, said, “Our client required a high level of responsiveness to ensure the project remained on schedule. Our extensive experience in mooring all types of floating oil and natural gas facilities and our ability to adapt our previous procedures in just a month meant we could mobilize vessels quickly and efficiently, while assuring safety in execution.”

InterMoor mobilized five vessels from Fourchon, Louisiana, USA, and provided crews for each. This involved more than 40 InterMoor staff on two tugs and three anchor-handling vessels. The Kirt Chouest and the Dino Chouest were the main anchor-handling vessels and a third acted as a support vessel between them and the platform. These vessels, as well as McDermott’s DB 50, maintained station keeping for the spar and completed the hook-up operations to get the spar ‘storm safe.’

Previously, InterMoor had fabricated some suction piles for the Heidelberg project in February 2015 and provided representatives during the installation of the Lucius spar, which is identical to the Heidelberg, in 2013.
