Weak Iraqi oil demand hurts Norway's DNO

Company sets capacity milestone from Kurdish field despite revenue loss.

OSLO, Norway, May 6 (UPI) -- Though it reached its capacity target at an oil field in the Kurdish north of Iraq, Norwegian energy company DNO said Wednesday it suffered heavy losses. DNO said it hit a daily production record at the Tawke field of just over 150,000 barrels of oil, adding it had the installed capacity to hit the 200,000 bpd mark.

A Dark View of Geopolitics in the Arctic

World leaders, including Russia’s Vladimir Putin, have talked of the Arctic as a zone of peace and co-operation. But continued tranquility is just one forecast for the region. A much darker scenario came today from a Canadian policy scholar who is also a professor at the University of Toronto and Russia’s Academy of National Economy and Public Administration

Turkmenistan one step closer to Trans-Caspian pipeline


Turkmenistan is one step closer to the implementation of the long-awaited Trans-Caspian gas pipeline, widely regarded as the optimal option to deliver Turkmen blue fuel under the Caspian through Azerbaijan to European consumers.
The project comes closer to being realized after the parliaments of Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan ratified a bilateral agreement on the division of the Caspian Sea between the two Central Asian countries.


The construction of the 300 kilometer-long Trans-Caspian Pipeline is of strategic interest to the EU, Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan. Europe seeks to decrease its dependence on Russian gas, while Turkmenistan aims to diversify its gas supply routes, as well as create an additional guarantee for the reliable and stable export of energy resources to international markets. Meanwhile, Azerbaijan is interested in the huge benefits of transporting Turkmen gas via its territory.

Russian Pipes Divide Europeans

Russia pulled off a stellar geopolitical performance at its annual end-June international business conference in St. Petersburg, showcasing several major energy deals just before Europe extended sanctions for a half year due to the failure of the peace process in eastern Ukraine. Among the deals was a tentative agreement to build another natural gas pipeline directly to Germany -- possibly triggering no less than a minor revolution in European energy supplies in that it essentially pits northern Europeans against their southern colleagues. Moscow, fearing a protracted tussle over the Turk Stream pipeline project, has deftly spread its risks, and as a consequence the energy configuration in Europe just got even more complicated. What's more, the prospect of a new northern pipeline could push Turkey to move faster on its southern route.

China’s new energy aim: to become a transit country for gas?

An influential Chinese government think-tank has proposed that the country should become a gas transit corridor between Russia and Central Asia on the one hand and north-east Asian countries such as Japan and Korea on the other. The Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) suggested this week that Tangshan, a deep-water port east of Beijing, should be developed as a hub for gas trading in north-east Asia. The think-tank noted that it was closer to the two main players in Asian LNG, Japan and Korea, than was Shanghai, which also has ambitions to be a gas trading hub.

Japan restarter den første atomreaktoren - Bergens Tidende

Ulykken ved Fukushima-kraftverket i 2011, som ble forårsaket av et kraftig jordskjelv etterfulgt av en tsunami, resulterte i rekordstor motstand mot atomkraft i Japan.

Myndighetene i landet kom under sterkt press og valgte i september 2013 å stenge ned landets to siste atomreaktorer. Tirsdag morgen ble den ene av dem startet opp igjen.

- Reaktor 1 ved atomkraftverket i Sendai begynte å operere igjen klokka 10.30, opplyser en talsmann for Kyushu Electric power.

Den italienske oljegiganten Eni har gjort oppdagelser av gass i Middelhavet som de hevder kan være et av verdens største gassfunn.

Ifølge selskapet dekker funnet et område på 100 kvadratkilometer og ligger på 1.450 meters dyp. Feltet er anslått å tilsvare 5,5 milliarder fat, opplyser Eni som mener at Zohr – som feltet heter – kan være et av verdens største funn av naturgass.
– Dette funnet vil endre scenarioet for Egypts energibehov, sier toppsjefen i Eni, Claudio Descalzi.

Hmm. Min første ryggmargsfølelse er at om det stemmer så burde det kunne virke stabiliserende, gitt at egypterne faktisk klarer å forvalte dette.

Og ingenting bedre enn enn en gasskilde til å konkurrere med russerne.

Dog, det lover jo ikke godt for snarlig overgang til ikkefossile energikilder akkurat.

Veldig interessant at du tar opp dette. Her er noen relaterte linker ref nyhetssaken over om Yamal LNG-prosjektet til russerne (ca 30 % Kina/China Petroleum, 20 % Frankrike/Total). Store krefter i sving når det gjelder så strategisk viktige prosjekter for russerne, og et interessant samspill økonomi/utenrikspolitikk...

Wikipedia om Yamal LNG


Fra Totals hjemmeside

Franske Total beskriver prosjektet på sin hjemmeside

Russia. The Yamal LNG project is based in the estuary of the Ob River which is ice-bound nine months of the year. The project ensures production and marketing of the Russian Arctic’s vast natural gas reserves and has involved the construction of a major new maritime route for transporting liquefied natural gas to Europe and Asia.

The Yamal LNG project is one of the largest industrial undertakings in the Arctic. It will eventually involve the drilling of more than 200 wells, the construction of 3 LNG trains, each with a capacity of 5.5 million tons per year, and a vast gas terminal, and the commissioning (a world first) of 16 icebreaker tankers, each able to transport 170,000 m³.

This ground-breaking project in the Yamal peninsula, to develop the huge South Tambey condensate gas field, calls on Yamal LNG’s logistical and industrial expertise in terms of managing LNG production in extremely cold conditions with the help of high-performance technologies. Total is leading the project as part of a strategic alliance with Novatek, Russia’s second-largest independent natural gas producer.

Mange husker kanskje nyheten om Total's CEO Christophe de Margerie dies in Moscow plane crash. Det mange spør seg om er hvem sine føtter CEO i Total tråkket på som kunne anses vondt nok til å ville ta livet av ham? Denne artikkelen peker i retning av USA som oppdragsgiver for å fjerne CEO de Margerie: Was Total’s Chief Executive Christophe de Margerie Killed for Opposing Petrodollar and Sanctions Against Russia?

The investigation released a statement claiming that the snowplow driver, Vladimir Martynenko, had been intoxicated. The plane crash at Vnukovo occurred when the wing of the private Falcon 50 jet collided with the snowplow, which, according to the media “was sitting at the intersection of two runways, in a no-access area.” Sources from various media outlets familiar with the details of the crash reported: “The captain of the aircraft decided to go ahead and try to complete his takeoff. But he did not have enough speed. The front wheel of the business jet’s chassis clipped the snowplow, which led to the catastrophe.”

But, according to information from the lawyers and the airport service bureau, the driver, Mr. Martynenko, was very experienced, with a long work history, and was completely sober. He had also passed the usual, mandatory medical inspection before he began his shift, which was documented by the doctor in his journal, and on the basis of which he received his driving log from the mechanic and then began his shift.

Turkmenistan begins work on gas pipeline to India

ASHGABAT: Turkmenistan has begun work on an ambitious 1,800-kilometre-long (1,118 miles) pipeline carrying gas from the former Soviet state to energy-hungry India, Pakistan and Afghanistan, state media reported on Friday.

“Specialists of the Institute of Oil and Gas in the ‘Turkmengaz’ state corporation have started engineering and surveying work on the route for the future gas pipeline Turkmenistan- Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI),” state newspaper Neutral Turkmenistan reported, adding that the construction of the pipeline itself would begin in December.

Gazprom not changing stance on ‘Turkish Stream’ (exclusive)

Russian company Gazprom still retains interest in the ‘Turkish Stream’ project, involving the construction of a gas pipeline, which is projected to run from Russia to Turkey across the Black Sea and have a pumping capacity of 63 billion cubic meters of gas per year.

Gazprom exclusively told Trend Sept. 7 that the launch of work on the ‘Nord Stream-2’ doesn’t change the company’s stance regarding the ‘Turkish Stream’ project.

“And everything will depend on what demand is put forward by Europe,” Medvedev further said.

Statoil med halvert driftsresultat
Statoil oppnådde et justert driftsresultat på 16,7 milliarder kroner i tredje kvartal. Det er nesten en halvering av resultatet for i fjor, og svakere enn ventet.

Voldsomt eller ei. Mange som ikke ventet et så mørkt resultat, men at det var ventet dårlig, ja. Der er mange uenig med deg tror jeg. Kursfallet indikerer vel også litt av dette, da markedets forventninger ofte er priset inn litt i forkant.

Det interessante i mine øyne er konsekvensene i næringen generelt av 1) defacto utvikling og påfølgende handlinger av Statoil vs kutt xyz 2) den mentale effekten dette har på hele næringen.

Analytikere er nå analytikere, de hadde truffet bedre med å ta seg en tur til Stavanger og snakke med representanter for selskapene i bransjene hvor Statoil er ledende indikator for trender. Pluss lært seg litt ingeniørfag slik at de for eksempel skjønner at antall rigger totalt er lite interessant. Jeg har ærlig talt lite respekt for deres vurderinger.
Men hva vet vel jeg.

Det er nå skitt og kanel skilles, og bransjen og regionen har godt av det. Men det er en tøff kur, spesielt for enkeltmennesker med høy gjeldsbyrde som plutselig må tilpasse seg et helt annet inntektsnivå.

Vind har to ulemper: Kraften produsert er dyrt/stort tap å lagre. Den må transporteres som strøm - som krever kabler og har mye tap. Hvis noen kan komme opp med noe som kan settes i bunn av en vindmølle og effektivt lagre produsert energi, som så kan transporteres minst like effektivt som gass så kan det bli veldig interessant.

Sv: Energi: Nyhetsklipp - pipeline management

Det er vel først og fremst variasjonen i output som er en stor utfordring? Både fordi man må transformere mye, og fordi man må ha nett tilpasset høye spenninger selv om dette skjer sjelden. Vind og vannkraft i kombinasjon er dog litt spennende fordi man kan pumpe opp vann i magasinene med kraft fra vind. Og dermed lagre energien.

Sv: Energi: Nyhetsklipp - pipeline management

En stor utfordring, og lagring med å pumpe vann oppover til magasin er helt klart interessant og igang. Variasjon i output er spesielt interessant på land - hvor det da bare kan bli en av flere kilder. AMS-målere og dermed mulighet for variasjon time for time strømpris er dermed vesentlig i markedet. Men lagring av produsert strøm uten dyr infrastruktur og stort tap er fremdeles et issue. Det er bare å gå i garasjen og finne opp noe!
