#DenysEnergies • A few weeks ago, we successfully completed the horizontal directional drilling (HDD) under the Caland Canal! 👏 It was a spectacular operation, both above ground and below the Calandkanaal. To cross the canal underground, two machines had to drill towards each other. At a depth of 50 metres below the canal, the drill heads ‘met’. It was a drilling that had to be done very accurately and was continuously monitored digitally as well. After this encounter, the drilled hole was enlarged with one machine by means of several reaming passes to make it large enough for the Porthos pipeline with an external diameter of over a metre (1050 mm). A dozen telescopic cranes lifted the pipe to provide the right angle for retraction into the borehole. While retracting the tube, it got stuck. In close consultation between Porthos and Denys, an effective solution was found and the execution team was able to successfully release the tube. The tube has now been positioned in exactly the right location and is ready for use. Watch the video below of this special HDD bore under the Caland Canal. 🤝 Subcontractor drilling: Van Vulpen BV Porthos is a joint venture between EBN, Gasunie and the Port of Rotterdam Authority: EBN B.V., Gasunie and Port of Rotterdam.

In early August #Gazprom's engineering / design centre for marine projects #GazpromMorskiyeProyekty published an environmental impact assessment (#EIA) associated with the oil spill response plan (OSRP) for the drilling of production wells at the Yuzhno-Kirinskoye gas field offshore Sakhalin (Yuzhno-Kirinskoye development plan, Phase 2). The contents of the document shed light on the scale of the drilling program at the field, which is expected to become a key part of the resource base for #Gazprom's far eastern route of gas supplies to China (#PowerOfSiberia3 pipeline). The #EIA pertains to the OSRP for the drilling of the following production wells: No.s SK1, SK2, SK3, SK4, SK5, SK6, SK7, SK8, SK9, SK10, SK11, SK12, SK13, SK14, SK15, SK16, SK17, SK18, SK19, SK20, SK23, SK24, SK25, SK26, SK27, SK28, SK29, SK30, SK31, SK32, SK37, SK38, SK39, SK40, SK41, SK42, SK43, SK46. Two semi-submersible rigs, the 'Polyarnaya Zvezda' (Polar Star) and 'Severnoye Siyaniye' (Northern Lights), have been involved in the drilling program at Yuzhno-Kirinskoye for several years already. The Northern Lights rig spent the 2021, 2022 and 2023 drilling seasons in the Russian Arctic, drilling wells in the Kara and Barents seas, but returns to Sakhalin this year. The Polar Star, having completed off-season maintenance at the #Rosneft-backed #Zvezda shipyard earlier this year, is already drilling in the Kirinskiy block, while the Northern Lights should be arriving at Yuzhno-Kirinskoye in the next few days after undergoing maintenance at a Chinese yard. One of these two rigs is shown in the attached image. It is not immediately clear how many production wells have been completed to date at Yuzhno-Kirinskoye.

Ahead of mobilisation to the Erskine platform later this month, Executive Chairman Gilad Myerson spent time on the Valaris 123 heavy duty jack-up rig, currently completing its five-yearly maintenance and inspection work scopes in Dundee. Explaining the importance of this well intervention in building longevity within our assets, Gilad said: “Focussed on maximising production from across our assets, we are committed to bringing Erkine’s fifth platform well back online. Erskine is a significant contributor to Ithaca’s production, and I look forward to seeing a successful outcome later this summer. Ithaca Energy is committed to providing home grown energy from our North Sea asset base. “Using innovative techniques, our highly talented teams have identified an opportunity to reinstate the fifth well, W1. We are excited to partner with Valaris – a global leader in offshore drilling operations. Safety is at the heart of this project: at Ithaca Energy and Valaris the safety of our workforce comes first. As we continue to improve longevity in our producing assets, I was delighted to see the preparation for this important campaign.” Erskine Asset Manager, Paul Ness said: “Erskine is a Normally Unattended Installation with accommodation for 12 personnel and crane capacity limited to 7.5Te. This makes it challenging to conduct some workscopes, so with the Valaris 123’s available POB of 136 and 60Te cranes, we will use this opportunity to also conduct maintenance and other project which are due over the next few years. This complex intervention requires milling by coiled tubing to access the deeper sections of the well prior to perforating, logging, and potentially partially plugging zones to re-establish production. “Even after 26 years of production the surface pressure is still relatively high at up to 180 barg (2,600 psig) and the reservoir temperatures remain at initial levels of 173°C (343°F). This makes tool and chemical selection particularly challenging, but our expert team has identified solutions which reliably operate in these challenging conditions.” Erskine was the first High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) field in the UK Continental Shelf and came online in December 1997. #Triumph.Together #DeliverResults

🌊 CALM Buoys in West Africa: A Key Asset for Offshore Oil & Gas 🌍 In West Africa’s booming oil and gas industry, CALM (Catenary Anchor Leg Mooring) buoys play a crucial role in offshore operations. These buoys allow for efficient and safe offloading of crude oil from offshore platforms and FPSOs to tankers, enabling continuous export even in remote deepwater fields. Here are some of the key reasons CALM Buoys are crucial in West Africa: 🌍 Support oil export logistics in remote locations 🚢 Enable flexible and safe crude oil transfer to tankers 🌊 Withstand harsh marine environments and varying weather conditions 💡 Critical in regions like Nigeria, Angola, and Ghana where onshore infrastructure is limited CALM buoys help optimise operations and reduce costs while protecting West Africa’s sensitive marine ecosystems. They’re essential for maintaining smooth oil exports in the region's offshore fields. #EnergyIndustry #OilAndGas #OffshoreEngineering #WestAfrica #MarineInfrastructure #Sustainability

SLB Well Construction Measurements - Argentina is proud to announce the successful deployment of Auto-Curve, our automated downhole drilling mode that builds smoother curve sections with consistent drilling performance. This milestone in our Autonomous Downhole Control System deployment brings clear benefits to our customers: - Improved drilling time by reducing downlinks on the curve - Better borehole quality due to smoother curves - Consistent service quality delivery, whether drilling North or South - Reduced need for skilled personnel and onsite staff during execution In every well, back-to-back, PowerDrive Orbit G2 maintained nearly uniform DLS, with programmed ROP throughout the Quintuco Formation and the transition to the Vaca Muerta Formation. We progressively increased the ROP target by 50% while achieving the planned DLS until landing the well at the required TVD, delivering an optimal trajectory even in the North-South zone of exclusion (ZOE) challenges, expanding our operational capabilities across the Vaca Muerta field. The results: - 15-22% reduction in drilling time from KOP to Landing Point (LP) - 91% reduction in downlinks, from an average of 17 to just 3-2 - Over 4 additional hours saved by reducing downlinking time - 25% improvement in meters drilled per day on the curve section - Achievement of sustainability goals by reducing the CO2 footprint These remarkable outcomes can only be achieved when we work alongside our clients towards clearly defined goals, resulting in the successful introduction of groundbreaking technology. #slb #drilling #vacamuerta #performance #autocurve #downholeautomation #automation #consistency #wellconstruction #measurements #unconventional #downlinks #argentina #oilandgas Pedro Luis Bello Alejandro Fernandez Ospina Cecilia Vazquez Carrizo Saif Syed Katerina Brovko Halim Elsaadi Kate Mantle Maja Ignova Martin Jones Justin Ryan Lemley Fernando Ariel Dopacio Hector Arismendi Julio Cesar Cardenas Agudelo Stephanie Herkes Raul Suarez Josh Ritchie Yezibel Márquez Great job 👏 Pedro Luis Bello!!
