The advanced ultra-deep water drillship, Maersk Viking, is capable of drilling in water depths of 3600 m.

The new design promises to streamline project timelines.

Qingdao Beihai Shipbuilding Heavy Industry Co., Ltd has contracted TMC Compressors of the Seas (TMC) to provide the marine compressed air system to the Liuhua FPSO.

The two-year contract extension is for the delivery of integrated specialist asset integrity services for Chrysaor’s Armada, Everest and Lomond offshore production platforms located in the Central North Sea.

The project is the fourth major start-up for BP in 2018.

The company is adding to its state-of-the-art fleet with the purchase and major refit of a multi-role ship.

The company has signed the contract for the exclusive exploration and development rights of the offshore block A5-A.

Support will initially cover the identification and evaluation of FPSO options for the development and pre-FEED technical assurance of the subsea design.

The well will be drilled from the Transocean Spitsbergen drilling facility in position 67°37'20.60"N and 6°45'57.57"E.

The post-lay trenching works are planned to commence late 2018 with the T1 trencher.

Recompletion operations on the company’s South Marsh Island 71 F2 well have finished.

Production in the area, which spans Texas and New Mexico, could reach 5.4 million boe per day by 2023, putting it ahead of every OPEC country except Saudi Arabia.
