SENEGAL’S OIL AND GAS SECTOR a focus on the two blocks which open the door to current explorations

Mor Nguirane Dr. Chemical Engineer

AFRICA SPECIAL INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY

Since the 50s’ Senegal coast has been explored by oil and gas companies and more than 140 offshore wells have been drilled. Most of the drilled wells proven reserve were very limited and none of them were developed. Senegal government wills become realty when Cairn Energy announced two concurrent exploration successes in 2014, complemented by Kosmos Energy’s announcement of two gas discovery wells in 2016.

These discovers established a new hydrocarbon basin, attracting the attention of the global industry and changed the oil and gas sectors scenario in Senegal. Despite the volatility of the global LNG prices and the huge investment requirements necessary to exploit Senegal’s huge hydrocarbon resources, several international companies are pushing on with their work programs in the country, including securing necessary government approvals for their investment plans and environmental and social impact assessment studies.

Owing to continuous promotion efforts over the past decades, the Senegalese government has reiterated commitment to review the country’s Petroleum Code to ensure it not only enhances the benefits accrued for Senegal from its offshore oil and gas resources, but also provide clarity in terms of taxation, conflict resolution and a workable local content structure. One of this policy is the promulgation of the 1998 Law, specifically designed to make exploration and exploitation more attractive and to give greater consideration to environmental issues.

Table 1: Overview of oil and gas discoveries.

SANGOMAR OFFSHORE BLOCK Cairn Energy PLC in partnership with ConocoPhillips, the drilling company FAR, and the Senegalese National Oil Company PETROSEN made two major discoveries on October 2014. First, the FAN-1 well, drilled to a water depth of 1.430 m, reached a reservoir initially estimated to contain 330 Million Barrels (MMBbl) of oil; and second, the SNE-1 well, drilled to a water depth of 1.000 m, reached a reservoir estimated to contain a range of contingent oil resources from 270 to over 900 MMBbl as well as several Tcf of gas.

Sangomar Block FAN-1 well The drilling company FAR has announced on March 2018 they completed the detailed geotechnical studies and reviewed the contingent resources attributed to the FAN discovery and prospective hydrocarbon resource potential in its Rufisque, Sangomar and Sangomar Deep (RSSD) Permits, offshore Senegal. The RSSD blocks cover an area of approximately 7.500 km2 and are home to the giant SNE oil field, discovered in 2014 by FAR and its partners in a two-well exploration drilling campaign offshore Senegal. The discovery of the SNE oil field and oil in the FAN-1 well were the first wells to be drilled in the deep-water offshore Senegal and opened what is now a global hotspot for oil and gas exploration.

The FAN discovery contingent resource estimate has been calculated based on FAN-1 well log interpretation and mapping using the 3D seismic and bare set out in RISC’s report and assessment of the probabilistic resource evaluation carried out by FAR in accordance with industry standard SPE-PRMS definitions.

A development project is contingent on further appraisal, formulation and approval of a field development plan and financing.

Sangomar SNE-1 well The Development and Exploitation plan outlines the full multi-phase development of oil and gas. The SNE development concept is a stand-alone floating production storage and offloading vessel (FPSO) facility with supporting subsea infrastructure. It will be designed to allow subsequent SNE development phases, including options for gas export to shore and for future subsea tiebacks from other reservoirs and fields.

The field will be developed in a series of phases with plans for around 500 MMbbl and Phase 1 of the development will target an estimated 230 MMbbl of oil resources from the lower, less complex reservoirs and an initial phase in the upper reservoirs. The FPSO is expected to have a capacity of around 100.000 bblpd, with first oil production targeted in 2022. Following the establishment of oil production, commercial gas sales to Senegal are expected to commence.

Late December 2018, Woodside has announced that the RSSD joint venture 1 has agreed to commence front-end engineering and design (FEED) activities following the award of the subsea FEED contract to Subsea Integration Alliance2 for the SNE Field Development - Phase 1 offshore Senegal. Further FEED contracts are targeted to be awarded in early 2019.

The FEED work involves undertaking activities required to finalise the costs and technical definition for the proposed development to enable a final investment decision, targeted for mid-2019.

In parallel to the commencement of FEED activities, the RSSD joint venture continues to progress project financing and the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment.

As reported on table 1 on, the Joint Venture comprises Cairn as current Operator with a 40% Working Interest (WI) alongside partners Woodside 35% WI, FAR Ltd 15% WI and the Senegal National Oil Company, Petrosen 10% WI. In 2016, Woodside Petroleum Ltd agreed to acquire ConocoPhillips’ interests in Senegal and agreed with Cairn to assume operatorship for the development of the project.

Kosmos Energy is serving as the exploration operator for the gas field, while British Petroleum (BP) is acting as the operator for field development.

In 2015, Kosmos (90%, operator) in partnership with the Mauritanian Hydrocarbons and Mining Resources Corporation – SMHPM, (10%) made a discovery in the Ahmeyim-1 offshore well in southern Mauritania close to the border with Senegal. In early 2016, Kosmos (60%, operator) in partnership with Timis (30%) and PETROSEN (10%) reported another offshore gas discovery in Senegal in the Geumbeul-1 well located roughly 5 km from the Ahmeyim-1 well. The drilling of the Ahmeyim-2 well confirmed reservoir continuity on both sides of the border. In May 2016, Teranga-1 was successfully drilled in Senegal. While the latter is not part of Tortue but of Grand Tortue, a larger inboard trend extending from Marsouin in Mauritania to Teranga in Senegal, may hold 25-50 Tcf of gas. However, the appraisal program for Grand Tortue will have to be completed before a thorough assessment of the nature and size of the reservoirs can be provided along with the specifications of the gas and its deliverability.

In December 2016, BP entered into a partnership with Kosmos Energy in Mauritania and Senegal, signing an agreement to acquire a significant working interest, including operatorship, of Kosmos’ exploration blocks in Mauritania and Senegal – acreage which holds world-class deepwater gas discoveries and exploration prospectivity across both countries.

In April 2017, BP deepen its investment in Senegal by acquiring the full 30% minority participating interests in two offshore blocks in Senegal: St Louis Profond and Cayar Profond. BP’s participating interest in the Senegal blocks is therefore 60%. Kosmos have 30% and PETROSEN 10%.

The approximately 33.000 km2 of acreage covered by the BP and Kosmos partnership, thought to contain between 50-100 Tcf of gas resource potential, includes the Yakaar-1 well, which was the biggest discovery made in the industry in 2017, and the Greater Tortue/Ahmeyim field, estimated to contain more than 15 tcf of discovered gas resources.

In December 2018, BP announced the Final Investment Decision (FID) for Phase 1 of the Greater Tortue/Ahmeyim development. The decision was made following agreement between the Mauritanian and Senegalese governments and partners BP, Kosmos Energy and National Oil Companies PETROSEN and SMHPM. Late December 2016, BP signed a farm-in agreement with Kosmos Energy to acquire a 62% interest, including development operatorship, of Kosmos’ exploration blocks in Mauritania, and a 32.5% interest in Kosmos’ Senegal exploration blocks. BP is planning to drill four additional wells and then decide on a project development concept this year in the hope of a FID by end of 2018, aiming for first production in 2021-22.

Considering the large size of the resources and low international market price trends for LNG, the operator is seeking to develop the resource in phases. The first phase would be a low-cost solution meant to establish Senegal and Mauritania as producing countries in a timely manner.

The development plan for Tortue West is slated to include a floating, production, storage and offloading (FPSO) facility to convert the produced gas into liquefied natural gas (LNG).

A nearshore hub plant and a pipeline with connections to the domestic gas network will also be part of the field development.

The hub facility will include breakwater-protected berths to accommodate the floating LNG facility for the exportation of LNG. KBR was contracted to provide pre-front end engineering design (FEED) and support services for the Tortue field development.

CH2M was awarded the marine engineering and pre-FEED design contract for the hub facility.

The pre-FEED works aim to optimise the location, layout, design and construction method of the hub facility and are expected to be finalised by February 2019.

The discovered natural resources may help economic growth to accelerate and allow long-term aspirations to materialize by propelling Senegal into a newly industrializing, middle-income country by the year 2030. Petroleum exploitation activities, however, also present the country with formidable governance, technical, environmental and social challenges, especially to ensure inclusive growth by effectively reducing poverty across the country.

Furthermore, the Senegalese government is fine-tuning its petroleum code in accordance with the current global hydrocarbon industry good practices and international standards.

Further than social challenge, the Senegalese government must to provide a ‘’healthy’’ working environment for oil and gas company and manage successfully the contentious issues of taxation and local content and ensure they are engraved in the Petroleum Code with clarity and then applied.

Sasol Achieves Beneficial Operation Of Second Lake Charles Chemicals Project Production Facility 03 June 2019, LAKE CHARLES (LA) — Sasol today announced beneficial operation of its new ethylene oxide (EO) production facility at its Lake Charles Chemicals Project (LCCP).

As announced on 22 May 2019, Sasol achieved beneficial operation of the ethylene glycol (EG) facility. The combined ethylene oxide/ethylene glycol (EO/EG) unit is the second of the seven LCCP production facilities to come online.

“The LCCP continues to transform North America into a major part of Sasol’s global business, delivering value for all Sasol’s stakeholders,” said Bernard Klingenberg, Executive Vice President for Operations. “Our team of Sasol employees, contractors and industry partners continues to deliver the LCCP with the start-up of our second process unit.”

He added, “We are working diligently to deliver the remaining five LCCP manufacturing units throughout 2019 and early 2020.”

“Ethylene oxide production plays an important role in our alcohol and surfactants growth strategy,” said Fleetwood Grobler, Executive Vice President for Chemicals Business. “The startup of this unit allows Sasol to be fully integrated from ethane to ethylene to alcohols to surfactants at our Lake Charles site. It also enables us to produce ethylene glycols using our world-class manufacturing capability and leveraging the expertise and global reach of our marketing partner Helm AG. Together these products will create significant value for our customers.”

The unit, which uses Scientific Design technology, has a nameplate capacity of 300,000 tons per year (300 ktpa) of ethylene oxide (EO). EO is used as a raw material to produce two main products: surfactants, which are the active ingredient in many household and industrial cleaners; and ethylene glycols, which are used to make polyester fiber for clothes, upholstery and carpet, as well as automotive engine antifreeze and coolant.

The EO/EG plant will also supply ethylene oxide as a feedstock for Sasol’s existing 130 ktpa Lake Charles ethoxylates (ETO) unit, as well as the new 100 ktpa LCCP ETO plant under construction. Beneficial operation of this unit is expected by the end of calendar year 2019.

Aker Energy Announces $4.5 Million Capacity-building Support In Ghana AKER ENERGY, OPERATOR OF THE DEEPWATER TANO CAPE THREE POINTS (DWT/CTP) BLOCK, HAS PLEDGED $4.5 MILLION IN SUPPORT FOR THE ACCELERATED OIL AND GAS CAPACITY-BUILDING (AOGC) PROGRAMME IN GHANA. THE PROGRAMME IS DESIGNED TO ENHANCE THE COMPETENCES AND EXPERTISE OF GHANAIANS IN THE OIL AND GAS SECTOR. 09 APRIL 2019, Oslo - Established in November 2017, the AOGC programme is the latest phase of several capacity-building initiatives in Ghana. The Petroleum Commission-led programme, set to run for five years, seeks to train individuals in various vocational and technical areas, as well as to build the capacity of educational institutions to be able to train students and award internationally recognised training certificates.

Mr. Jan Helge Skogen, Country Manager of Aker Energy in Ghana, emphasized that the programme’s efforts aligns well with Aker Energy’s commitment to go beyond local content and take part in building the necessary competences and skills to prepare the local workforce for jobs in the industry.

“We are very happy to announce our support of the efforts to raise local knowledge and capacity levels in the growing Ghanaian oil and gas industry. Aker Energy will support the Petroleum Commission to certify vocational and technical experts, preparing them for jobs in the industry. Under AOGC, we will also seek support from, and utilize, Ghanaian educational institutions to increase competency levels through a training of local trainers’ programme,” says Jan Helge Skogen, Country Manager of Aker Energy.

Aker Energy’s $4.5 million commitment to the programme was announced at a ceremony attended by stakeholders, key players, and regulators in the oil and gas sector in Accra on Friday.

“The AOGC programme seeks to ensure that Ghanaian youth are deliberately and strategically trained and qualified to work in Ghana and elsewhere. The investment of Ghanaians in the upstream sector is expected to rise to levels that will prove that that AOGC is a bold attempt to ensure that our people take their rightful place in the industry,” said Mr. Egberg Faibille Jnr, Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Petroleum Commission.

In addition to vocational and technical training, the AOGC Programme, supported by projects by Aker Energy, will provide business and management training for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and ensure continuous professional development of employees of various public institutions connected to the oil and gas industry.

Some of the beneficiaries of the ongoing Aker-GNPC Scholars programme, which, along with the company’s partners – Lukoil, Fueltrade and GNPC – supports nearly 800 Ghanaian students in their pursuit of education at the secondary level, may now be capable of going through the AOGC programme.

Total Agrees With Occidental To Contingent Acquisition Of Anadarko’s Assets In Africa 5 May, 2019, Paris – Total announces that it has reached a binding agreement with Occidental to acquire Anadarko’s assets in Africa (Algeria, Ghana, Mozambique, South Africa) for a consideration of 8.8 billion $ in the event of a successful completion of Occidental’s ongoing bid for Anadarko. The transaction is contingent upon Occidental entering into and completing its proposed acquisition of Anadarko and to approval by the relevant authorities and is expected to close in 2020.

The assets to be acquired are: • Algeria: 24.5% participating interest and operatorship of blocks 404a and 208 (Hassi Berkine, Ourhoud and El Merk fields) in the Berkine basin in which Total already owns 12.25%. These fields represented a gross production of 320 kboe/d in 2018.

• Ghana: 27% participating interest in the Jubilee field and 19% participating interest in the TEN fields. These fields represented a gross production of 143 kb/d in 2018.

• Mozambique: 26.5% participating interest and operatorship in Area 1 where a 12.8 million tonne per year LNG project is largely derisked and close to sanction. Area 1 contains more than 60 Tcf of gas resources, of which 18 Tcf will be developed with the first two train project which is expected to come into production by 2024.

• South Africa: exploration licences, close to Total’s recent Brulpadda discovery.

Overall, these assets represent around 1.2 billion boe of 2P reserves, of which 70% is gas, plus 2 billion boe of long-term natural gas resources in Mozambique. 2018 equity production was 96 kboe/d and is expected to grow to around 160 kboe/d by 2025.

“If completed, the acquisition of Anadarko by Occidental offers us the opportunity to acquire a world class portfolio of assets in Africa, further enhancing our position as the leading IOC on the continent. We have said consistently that our M&A activities will add value by playing to our strengths and focussing on upgrading our portfolio. This is exactly what we would do here. We would be able to leverage our expertise in LNG by operating a major project in Mozambique and in Deepwater in Ghana and we would become operator of major Algerian oil assets where we are already a partner. We would also be able to generate value through adding volumes to our growing LNG portfolio where we are already the 2nd largest private player. We have demonstrated the success of this strategy through the recent acquisitions of Maersk Oil.” Patrick Pouyanne, Chairman and CEO commented on the announcement. “Total is committed to execute smoothly this transaction, should Occidental be successful in its offer to acquire Anadarko. The proposed transaction is a win/win for Total and Occidental. Total would get access to around over 3 billion boe of resources and Occidental would be able to strengthen its post completion balance sheet by monetising immediately the international assets of Anadarko.”

Despite the capital investment in Mozambique LNG, the acquisition is expected to be free cashflow positive from 2020 even at a Brent price of less than 50 $/b and to generate more than 1 billion $/year of free cashflow from 2025 onwards after start-up of Mozambique LNG. As a consequence, Total confirms that the previously announced shareholder return policy from 2018 to 2020 will be maintained in terms of dividend increase (10% over 3 years) and share buyback (5 billion dollars).

Aker Energy Announces Successful Drilling Results Offshore Ghana Aker Energy, as the operator of the Deepwater Tano Cape Three Points (DWT/CTP) block, announces that it encountered oil in the Pecan South-1A well offshore Ghana. A sidetrack will now be drilled to further appraise the volume potential.

04 MARCH, 2019 Fornebu, Norway - The Pecan South-1A well was drilled south of the main Pecan field in the DWT/CTP block and encountered oil. Aker Energy is in the process of analyzing the well result and will commence further drilling in order to verify the volume estimate. These volumes will be an addition to the gross contingent resources (2C) from the existing discoveries in the area, previously estimated to 450 - 550 mmboe.

"We are pleased to announce another successful well as the operator of the DWT/CTP block. The drilling result is another confirmation of the geological model for the area. The discovered resources from the well will further strengthen the robustness of the Pecan field development. We will now continue the appraisal drilling campaign, while finalizing the Plan of Development to be submitted by the end of March," says Jan Arve Haugan, CEO of Aker Energy.

The drillship Maersk Viking will now drill a sidetrack well in Pecan South, before relocating to drill the third well in the ongoing appraisal campaign, Pecan South East. Based on the Pecan South result and pre-drill estimates of Pecan South East, Aker Energy estimates that the total volumes to be included in a Plan of Development (POD) have the potential to increase to between 600 - 1,000 mmboe. Aker Energy sees further upsides in the area.

The company has identified multiple well targets to be drilled as part of a greater area development after submission of the POD. Aker Energy is the operator of the DWT/CTP block with a 50% participating interest. Aker Energy's partners are LUKOIL (38%), the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) (10%) and Fueltrade (2%).

Update On The Lake Charles Chemicals Project Johannesburg, 22 May 2019: Sasol has today updated its guidance for LCCP following a review process to assess the project costs and schedule. â&#x20AC;˘LCCPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s schedule remains on track with the Ethylene Glycol/Ethylene Oxide Unit due to achieve beneficial operation within days. The only revision to the schedule is the Guerbet Unit which will now be on stream in February 2020. As at the end of March 2019 project completion was at 96% with construction completion at 89%. â&#x20AC;˘Sasol remains confident that the longer-term EBITDA outlook for the LCCP remains robust. â&#x20AC;˘The forecast total capital cost for the project has increased to $12,6 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 12,9 billion, including a $300 million contingency. The drivers of the changes in capital costs are understood and a series of mitigating actions are being taken to ensure delivery within the revised parameters. â&#x20AC;˘Sasolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s balance sheet is sufficiently robust and management actions are focused on deleveraging the balance sheet, simplifying the asset portfolio and executing our value-based strategy.

Following the review noted above, the cost estimate for LCCP has been revised to a range of $12,6 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; $12,9 billion which includes a contingency of $300 million. The principal factors that impacted the revised cost estimate to complete LCCP are adjustments to the February 2019 cost forecast of approximately $530 million and additional events and remaining work impacting February 2019 cost forecast â&#x20AC;&#x201C; approximately $470 million.

As previously communicated to the market, management has substantially completed the detailed asset review programme. This process forms a key part of the portfolio optimisation strategy, and has now progressed to the stage where the disposal of larger non-core assets can be accelerated. The Company will target the disposal of assets which have an aggregate net asset value exceeding $2 billion. The safeguarding value will be prioritised through this process, and the financial metrics disclosed above do not rely on any asset disposals. Relevant disposals will therefore further support the deleveraging of the balance sheet, as well as simplification of the investment portfolio and increased focus in executing our value-based strategy.

Furthering Our Investment In Africa Microsoft Opens First Africa Development Centre In Kenya And Nigeria 13 May 2019, Microsoft News Center - It was almost three decades ago that Microsoft opened its first offices in Africa. In this time, we’ve witnessed incredible growth on the continent – more internet connectivity, more digital capability and more innovation.

Africans have expanded the applications of technology, changing the way communities bank, farm and even access healthcare.

At Microsoft, we’re very fortunate to have played a part in realising this potential, building strong partnerships to accelerate digital transformation and create sustained societal impact. A big milestone for this investment came earlier this year, as we opened Africa’s first hyper-scale datacentres in South Africa, promoting business innovation in the cloud.

As the next step on our journey in Africa, and to better understand a continent rapidly adopting technology in the cloud, and at the edge, Microsoft today launched its first Africa Development Centre (ADC). With two initial sites in Nairobi, Kenya and Lagos, Nigeria, the ADC will serve as a premier centre of engineering for Microsoft, where world-class African talent can create solutions for local and global impact. ‘’The ADC will be unlike any other existing investment on the continent. It will help us better listen to our customers, develop locally and scale for global impact. Beyond that, it’s an opportunity to engage further with partners, academia, governments and developers – driving impact in sectors important to the continent, such as FinTech, AgriTech and OffGrid energy’’ says Phil Spencer, executive sponsor of the ADC and executive vice president at Microsoft.

Local innovation, global impact Africa is poised for innovation at the intelligent edge. To staff the ADC, we are seeking engineering talent from across the continent to fuel AI, machine learning and mixed reality innovation. Engineers have already started working, and we intend to recruit 100 full-time engineers by the end of the year – expanding to 500 across the two sites by 2023. Those interested can visit the ADC microsoftadc.com.

To build our talent pipeline, we’re also partnering with local universities to create a modern intelligent edge and cloud curriculum, totally unique to Africa. Graduates will have access to the ADC to build a relevant and meaningful career in data science, AI, mixed reality, application development and many more. ‘’Our desire is to recruit exceptional engineering talent across the continent that will build innovative solutions for global impact. This also creates opportunities for engineers to do meaningful work from their home countries and be plugged into a global engineering and development organisation’’ says Michael Fortin, corporate vice president at Microsoft and the lead in establishing the first ADC engineering team in Nairobi.

Innovation at the edge Microsoft is already empowering many innovations at the edge with partners like Interswitch, SunCulture and M-KOPA. Through the ADC, we intend to invest in more cutting-edge solutions suitable for Kenya, Nigeria and the rest of the world.

Our Microsoft Cognition team and Windows team will be kick-starting our ADC efforts, focusing on AI-enabled cloud services, mixed reality experiences and rich applications that power the intelligent edge without disruption.

A long-term investment The ADC supports Microsoft’s mission to empower every person and organisation on the planet to achieve more. The ADC is the first Global Development Centre in Africa with a combined expected investment of US $100 million over the first five years of operation.

Aker Energy completes appraisal drilling campaign offshore Ghana, continues work on PDO 26 April 2019, Accra/Oslo - AKER ENERGY GHANA LTD. (“AKER ENERGY”, “THE COMPANY”), AS THE OPERATOR OF THE DEEPWATER TANO CAPE THREE POINTS (DWT/CTP) BLOCK, ANNOUNCES THAT IS HAS CONCLUDED ITS APPRAISAL DRILLING CAMPAIGN OFFSHORE GHANA. THE COMPANY IS CURRENTLY WORKING ON A REVISED PLAN FOR DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATIONS (PDO), FOLLOWING SCHEDULED FEEDBACK FROM GHANAIAN AUTHORITIES. “Based on close collaboration with Ghanaian authorities, regulators and our license partners, Aker Energy submitted an application for approval of a comprehensive development plan with the objective of maximising oil recovery in the DWT/CTP area and ultimately unlocking significant potential value for the People of Ghana. We appreciate the ongoing constructive and transparent dialogue with the Ghanaian authorities and the feedback we now have received is an important and natural part of the approval process. We are currently updating the application with an ambition to get the formal approval ahead of our final investment decision, allowing us to commence execution of this promising development project,” says Jan Arve Haugan, CEO of Aker Energy.

Furthermore, Aker Energy commenced appraisal drilling in the DWT/CTP block offshore Ghana in November 2018, leading up to the submission of an integrated Plan of Development and Operations (PDO) on 28 March. The drilling campaign has now been concluded. The purpose of the appraisal campaign was to verify the partners’ understanding of the area and to prove up additional resources to further strengthen the Pecan field development. The recent appraisal drilling campaign has contained of three appraisal wells and a side-track well.

“The appraisal wells have provided valuable information for us to further optimise the area development plan in the DWT/CTP block. We remain committed to continue developing the petroleum resources in the area in a way that will deliver value to the people of Ghana and to us and our partners,” says Mr. Haugan.

Pecan-4A and Pecan South, the first and second wells in the appraisal campaign, identified deep oil/water contact and confirmed the partners’ geological model, as previously announced. A side-track well to Pecan South was initiated to verify the volume potential of Pecan South by testing a deeper part of the structure. The sidetrack well encountered oil shows, but no recoverable resources due to a tight reservoir. Based on preliminary data analysis, it is estimated that between 5-15 million barrels of oil equivalent (mmboe) could be added to the Pecan field development from Pecan South.

Aker Energy has also completed a well in Pecan South East, the third well in the appraisal campaign. The well encountered oil in a thin upper sand. The partners will now assess the data gathered from the well to evaluate whether the accumulation could be tied-in to the Pecan field development.

Once the Plan for Development and Operation has been agreed with the authorities, Aker Energy estimates that first oil from the Pecan field could be produced 35 months after the final investment decision (FID). Reserves, to be developed in the first phase, are estimated at 334 million barrels of oil. Discovered contingent resources, to be developed in subsequent phases, are estimated at 110-210 mmboe, resulting in a combined volume base of approximately 450–550 mmboe. These estimates exclude any additional volumes from Pecan South and Pecan South East, currently being assessed. The partners have identified further upsides in the area that they intend to mature as part of the area development.

Aker Energy believes that the total resource potential in the area is still within the range of 600-1000 mmboe, as earlier communicated.

Aker Energy Ghana Limited is the operator under the DWT/CTP Petroleum Agreement with a 50% participating interest. Its partners are Lukoil Overseas Ghana Tano Limited (38%), the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) (10%) and Fueltrade Limited (2%).

Let’s talk about Maintenance

Manufacturing and production plants operate physical assets that deteriorate with usage and time, thus, maintenance actions are required to restore the assets back to their original predetermined operational conditions. But since, organizational resources are limited and scarce. The objective of an effective maintenance program is to minimize total cost of inspection and repair, and equipment downtime.

Across industry, many definitions are used when it comes to the different types of maintenance. Here below we will go through the different types of maintenance and more importantly, when to use them.

Maintenance can be distinguished mainly in two major class: Preventive Maintenance and Corrective Maintenance.

THE PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE (or preventative maintenance) is the maintenance that is regularly performed on a piece of equipment to lessen the likelihood of it failing.

It is performed while the equipment is still working so that it does not break down unexpectedly.

Preventive maintenance can be defined as “an equipment maintenance strategy based on replacing, or restoring, an asset at a fixed interval regardless of its condition.

Scheduled restoration tasks and replacement tasks are examples of preventive maintenance tasks.”

Preventive maintenance can be time or usage based i.e. every week, every month or every three months or every 150 cycles, every 10,000 h etc.

The Preventive Maintenance are: •Time Based Maintenance which refers to replacing or renewing an item to restore its reliability at a fixed time, interval or usage regardless of its condition.

The purpose of time-based maintenance is to protect against the failure of known wearing parts which have predictable Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) i.e. time-based maintenance assumes that the failure is age related and a clear service life can be determined. Or, that it’s simply not worth the effort to assess the condition and a time-based replacement is more economical and still effective.

A time-based maintenance strategy can never effectively manage non-age related failure modes and therefore should only form a small part of your overall maintenance program as more than 70% of the failure modes in the plants are not age related.

•Failure Finding Maintenance: Its tasks are aimed to detect hidden failures typically associated with protective functions i.e. pressure safety valves, trip transmitters etc.

This type of equipment won’t be required to function until something else has failed. That means that under normal operating conditions you will not know whether this equipment is still functional i.e. the failure modes are hidden.

And since these failures are hidden, you’ll need to find them before you are relying on that equipment to protect you.

It’s important to realise that failure finding maintenance tasks do not prevent failure but simply detect it. And once detected you’ll have to repair the failure you found.

Failure Finding Maintenance is conducted at fixed time intervals typically derived from legislation or risk-based approaches.

•Risk Based Maintenance which is when you use a risk assessment methodology to assign your scarce maintenance resources to those assets that carry the most risk in case of a failure.

The equipment that has a higher risk and a very high consequence of failure would be subject to more frequent maintenance and inspection. Low risk equipment may be maintained at a much lower frequency and possibly with a much smaller scope of work.

When you implement a risk-based maintenance process effectively you should have reduced the total risk of failure across your plant in the most economical way.

A Risk based maintenance is essentially a preventive maintenance where the frequency and scope of the maintenance activities is continuously optimised based on the findings from testing or inspection and a thorough risk assessment. Examples of a risk-based maintenance would be risk-based inspection as applied to static equipment like vessels and piping or even pressure relief valves.

•Condition Based Maintenance: most failure modes are not age related. However, most failure modes do give some sort of warning that they are in the process of occurring or are about to occur.

If evidence can be found that something is in the early stages of failure, it may be possible to act to prevent it from failing completely and/or to avoid the consequences of failure. A condition-based maintenance as a strategy therefore looks for physical evidence that a failure is occurring or is about to occur. It is important to realise that condition-based maintenance strategy does not reduce the likelihood of a failure occurring through life-renewal, but instead is aimed at intervening before the failure occurs, on the premise that this is more economical and should have less of an impact on availability.

For an effective condition-based maintenance strategy, early intervention is essential. This requires an efficient and effective process for data gathering, data analysis, decision making and finally intervention.

•Predictive Maintenance which is an extension, a more advanced approach to condition-based maintenance where we use potentially many process parameters gained from online sensors to determine if our equipment is moving away from stable operating conditions and is heading towards failure.

THE CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE (or run to failure maintenance) is performed when the failure has now occurred, and it is basically the restore of the equipment functionality.

Corrective maintenance can be the result of a deliberate run-to-failure strategy. No maintenance, including preventive maintenance, is performed on the asset up until the failure event.

However, a plan is in place for ahead of the failure, so that the asset can be fixed without causing any production issues (general area lighting, smart process instrumentation without trip functionality etc.). Under the run to fail method, it is important to have spare parts and staff on hand to replace the failed part and to maintain equipment availability.

Apart from being the outcome of a deliberate run to failure strategy, corrective maintenance is also the result of unplanned failures which were not avoided through preventive maintenance.

The corrective maintenance makes sense when the total cost of repairing equipment after breakdown is less than the cost of performing other types of maintenance on the equipment beforehand. It’s important to remind that corrective maintenance requires an understanding of how a machine might break and what the consequences of breakdown are.

The Corrective Maintenance are: •Deferred Corrective Maintenance: when a corrective maintenance work request is raised it is essential that you prioritise it properly to make sure that where possible you defer the work request and give your team the time to properly plan and schedule the work.

•Emergency Maintenance which is corrective maintenance that is so urgent that it breaks into your Frozen Weekly Schedule. It upsets your plans and schedules and typically throws everything into disarray.

Emergency Maintenance is expensive, various sources have suggested that Emergency Maintenance is 3 to 5 times as expensive as ‘normal’ preventive maintenance.

Emergency Maintenance typically leads to longer equipment outages and more production impact. And it is less safe So Emergency Maintenance is the one and only maintenance type that we really want to avoid as much as possible.

Predictive Maintenance

The role of maintenance as a 'non-value' activity within an organization has evolved over the last half-century. Strategically, it has now become one of the ‘Smartest’ thinking areas of Engineering. This is due to the increased demands by industry to maintain high levels of efficient production whilst providing feedback on equipment performance. The new Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0) has been driven by technology advances in sensor and wireless data transmission, which has been adopted by those who develop strategies within the organization to provide unprecedented levels of equipment data. Analysed correctly, equipment failures are predicted with greater accuracy which will reduce unplanned machine downtime within a system. This reduction in downtime will increase overall efficiencies which in turn will improve organization profits.

The first thing to notice is that only the result of a measurement or the value of a standard can be traceable.

Measuring equipment cannot be traceable in and of itself. What is traceable about the equipment is the determination of its imperfections during calibration. In other words, a ‘’traceable equipment’’ is potentially able to produce traceable measuring results.

The only way to prove that measurements are right, is to prove that their uncertainty is low enough to allow the desired conclusions to be drawn from the results, such as whether or not a workpiece meets its specification.

From a technical point of view this makes traceability part of substantiating the stated uncertainty for the measurement. Therefore, the best way of demonstrating traceability is by starting with the uncertainty budget for the measurement.

Uncertainty budgets should be developed in accordance with the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM). This ISO document gives a way to express uncertainty that allows the uncertainty in a calibration to be “carried over” into the uncertainty budget for subsequent measurements with the standard or instrument. It also allows us to compare two measurements of the same item and determine whether they agree, given their uncertainty.

From the uncertainty budget we can find all the significant contributors to the measurement uncertainty. Some of those contributors depend on the measurement procedure and others depend on the calibrations of the equipment, sensors, standards, etc.

Traceability may therefore require calibration of several attributes of the measuring equipment and not all of them may be in the unit of what we are measuring. For example, the uncertainty of a length measurement may be highly dependent on temperature and therefore the ability to measure temperature. Thus, the traceability of the calibration of the temperature sensor becomes a significant part of the uncertainty for the length measurement.

Consequently, the requirement for a measurement to be traceable is that the equipment must be traceably calibrated for the characteristics that influence the uncertainty budget to the tolerances that are assumed in the budget. This means that traceability is a recursive condition. It shall be possible to follow the uncertainty budgets and the calibration of significant attributes of the equipment for each link in each chain all the way back to the appropriate level, e.g. a national laboratory.

Using this logic, the information needed to prove that a measurement is traceable in the technical sense is: • A list of the significant uncertainty contributors for the measurement.

• A list of the equipment used in the measurement that adds significantly to the uncertainty.

• For each piece of equipment, a reference to its traceability (Calibration scope, calibration source, calibration date and calibration ID, e.g. certificate number).

• For each calibration source, evidence of its credibility, e.g. accreditation.

The requirement of credibility of the calibration source is the insurance that this information is available at each link in all the chains all the way back to the national laboratory level.

Accreditation is intended to provide this credibility. Accreditation is essentially a third party putting a seal of approval on the comparisons and the accompanying uncertainties that a calibration laboratory performs.

One of the requirements that is put on accredited laboratories is that they can only have their standards and equipment calibrated at other accredited laboratories.

The result is that each accredited laboratory maintains one or a few links in the chain of comparisons back to the SI unit. By documenting the links they maintain and the source for the next link in the chain, the accredited laboratories ensure the continuity of the traceability chain.

Therefore, all the information needed to follow the traceability trails back to the National Laboratory level is now available and traceability can be proven.

Note On The Impact Of The Redefinition Of The Kilogram On Bipm Mass Calibration Uncertainties This note provides information on the impact of the redefinition of the kilogram, which takes place on 20 May 2019, on mass calibration uncertainties stated on BIPM calibration certificates issued before this date.

Background In November 2018 the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) approved a revision of the International System of Units (SI). After the implementation date of the revised SI, 20 May 2019, the kilogram will change from being equal to the mass of the International Prototype of the Kilogram (IPK) to a quantity related to a fixed numerical value of the Planck constant. At this point the IPK will change from having a fixed mass without uncertainty to having a mass with a finite uncertainty which can change with time.

Directly after the implementation date of the revised SI the IPK will inherit the uncertainty that had previously been associated with the Planck constant, equal to 10 g (k = 1).

Adjustment of the mass uncertainty of BIPM calibration certificates issued before 20 May 2019 Prior to the decision to redefine the kilogram, all NMIs took traceability, directly or indirectly, from the IPK. This will continue to be the case immediately after 20 May 2019. The mass of the IPK will then have an associated uncertainty of 10 g.

National Metrology Institutes (NMIs) will need to review and, where necessary, adjust their uncertainty budgets for measurements made after 20 May 2019 by: 1- Adding 10 g in quadrature to the existing uncertainty given by the BIPM for those standard(s) by which they achieve traceability to the BIPM 2- Updating their uncertainty budgets with the new uncertainty for the standard(s) The mass values stated on the BIPM certificates remain valid.

The Consultative Committee for Mass and Related Quantities (CCM) will meet on 16 and 17 May 2019 and will provide guidance on how Calibration and Measurement Capabilities (CMCs) published in the BIPM Key Comparison Database (KCDB) should be adjusted.

BIPM calibration certificates issued after 20 May 2019 will include the 10 g uncertainty of the IPK with respect to the Planck constant, until completion of the first key comparison of primary realization experiments. Then, mass calibrations at the BIPM will be traceable to the consensus value, determined from the comparison, following CCM Recommendation G1 (2017). The CCM is preparing a detailed information note on the dissemination process after the redefinition of the kilogram.

The building blocks of an effective collaboration

Mor Nguirane Dr. Chemical Engineer

AFRICA SPECIAL INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY

Collaboration does not come naturally for most employees.

To most people specially the baby boomerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s generation were taught that competition was good, and that individual hard work would be rewarded with steady career progression.

The nature of work has changed, however, and the management and knowledge silos that were created in the 20th century are no longer sustainable today if organizations are to succeed. Collaboration helps break down those silos so that organizations can be creative, flexible, and ready to meet the changing, demanding needs of business today.

There are a few building blocks that must live within leaders and individual contributors to ensure that collaboration is part of an organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s culture. These building blocks are trust, communication, and a shared vision and purpose.

Trust is the foundation of effective collaboration. There are many facets to trust, but vulnerability is the aspect that most affects the collaborative process. Without vulnerability, people will not fully invest themselves or their ideas in collective efforts.

In the collaborative process, trust means creating an environment where everyone can openly express concerns, fears, and differences of opinion without fear of rejection, aggression, or retaliation. When vulnerability is threatened, behaviours that stifle creativity and innovation take over. Furthermore, when people feel disrespected and see their contributions going unrecognized and unvalued, they disengage and look elsewhere for opportunities to contribute. Trust and respect are the bedrock of collaboration and are the key to building a commitment to collective goals.

There is no collaboration without effective communication. Leaders must communicate why collaboration is important to the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success and must outline the strategy and roadmap for how the organization will work collaboratively. Both employees and leaders must share and build ideas, constructively criticize, and provide feedback.

Effective communication requires a substantial level of self-awareness. Employees must understand their own preferences for how they approach a collaborative situation. They must also understand the communication and collaboration styles that other employees may prefer. It is this awareness that allows employees to recognize different communication and collaboration styles and to leverage them. This heightened level of self-awareness allows individuals to modify their behaviour and communication styles, which paves the way for increased engagement.

All employees must be taught these communication skills for a collaborative environment to be realized. Everyone in the organization must be on the same page, and this canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be accomplished if senior leaders are the only ones who could develop these communication skills.

The best way to get employees invested in the collaborative process is to give them an opportunity to contribute to a shared vision and purpose. This is about taking the time to articulate the reason to everyone involved in the collaborative process on a project or initiative. Unfortunately, this can easily get overlooked when managing heavy workloads and deadlines. Instead, it should be prioritized as a necessary investment for increasing individual and team performance and long-term success. Leaders must ensure that all employees understand how their work contributes to the goals of the team and organization and how collaboration will help them meet their goals. When employees understand their broader purpose, they can make more meaningful contributions to their teams.

A company management board who take the time to teach and nurture these building blocks trust, communication, and shared vision and purpose will lay the groundwork to create an organizational culture based on collaboration.

As a result, they will see improved employee retention, less conflict, lower stress, an improved competitive advantage, a higher level of performance, and a healthier bottom line.

Decision made to implement major gas processing and liquefaction project near Ust-Luga March 29, 2019: Gazprom and RusGazDobycha made a decision on the final configuration of the project for a large-scale complex that will process ethane-containing gas and produce liquefied natural gas (LNG) near the settlement of Ust-Luga, Leningrad Region.

The parties have thus moved to the implementation stage in the project.

The project envisages the construction of capacities for the processing of 45 billion cubic meters of gas and for the production and shipping of 13 million tons of LNG, up to 4 million tons of ethane and over 2.2 million tons of liquefied petroleum gases (LPG) per year.

The complex will be processing ethane-containing gas produced by Gazprom from the Achimov and Valanginian deposits of the Nadym-Pur-Taz region. The gas remaining after the processing (about 20 billion cubic meters) will go into the Company's gas transmission system. foto Seaport of Ust-Luga. Photo by Ust-Luga company It is expected to put the first train of the complex into operation in the second half of 2023 and the second train in late 2024. The project operator is RusKhimAlyans, a special-purpose company established on a parity basis by Gazprom and RusGazDobycha.

The operator's priorities include the development of basic and detailed design documentation and the launch of land planning activities at the leased site of the future complex in the southern part of the Ust-Luga port (1.400 hectares). It is also planned to devise contracting arrangements within the project, designate EPC contractors, and place orders for long lead items.

The technical configuration selected for the project will help maximize financial benefit for the participants, primarily through integrating technological capacities within a single site, optimizing the industrial and logistical infrastructure of the complex, and using a common offshore shipping terminal. The complex is estimated to yield over USD 4 billion per year in revenue, while investment in the project is expected to exceed RUB 700 billion.

This large-scale project is of great significance for Russia's social and economic development. During its most active phase, the construction will involve over 25.000 specialists, with more than 5.000 permanent jobs to be created to man the operation of the facility.

The plant will make it possible to increase Russian LNG exports and to take LPG exports up by 30â&#x20AC;&#x201C;40 %. The production of ethane, which is in high demand in the domestic industry, will also grow substantially. The ethane produced at the plant is to be supplied to a high-potential gas chemical facility whose construction is to be independently sponsored

by RusGazDobycha (through a special-purpose entity, Baltic Chemical Complex). The estimated capacity of the future gas chemical facility is over 3 million tons of polymers per year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today, we have launched the implementation of an ambitious project that is simply unparalleled in Russia. Within a short time, we are going to build the most powerful gas treatment and liquefaction plant in the country. Together with the technically affiliated gas chemical facility, it will grow into a large modern industrial cluster in the northwest of Russia.

The decision made today is a practical manifestation of the new economic model for the comprehensive monetization of hydrocarbon resources. Combining the production of LNG and ethane within one industrial site will have a beneficial effect on the economics and specific indicators of the project and will allow us to considerably mitigate our resource and price risks,â&#x20AC;? said Alexey Miller, Chairman of the Gazprom Management Committee.

Anadarko Announces Mozambique Lng Final Investment Decision HOUSTON, June 18, 2019: Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (NYSE: APC) and the co-venturers in Mozambique's Offshore Area 1, today announced a Final Investment Decision (FID) on the Anadarko-led Area 1 Mozambique LNG project. This official declaration of FID confirms the Area 1 Plan of Development is now effective with notice provided to the Government of Mozambique that all conditions precedent have been fulfilled, and the project can now advance to the construction phase.

The official declaration of FID today was made at a sanctioning event in Maputo, Mozambique, attended by His Excellency the President of the Republic of Mozambique Filipe Nyusi, the Minister of Mineral Resources Ernesto Max Tonela, and Anadarko's Chairman and CEO Al Walker, along with representatives from the Area 1 co-venturers and distinguished guests.

"This is a historic day for the people of Mozambique," said His Excellency President Filipe Nyusi.

"Today's sanctioning of the Anadarko-led Area 1 Mozambique LNG project solidifies a path toward the creation of thousands of jobs for our people, significant economic growth for our nation, and the potential to be one of the world's largest providers of cleaner energy for decades to come. It is truly one of the most important and transformational projects in our country's history."

"This is an exciting day for Mozambique and for our partnership, bringing us a step closer to making Mozambique's first onshore LNG facility a reality," said Anadarko Chairman and CEO, Al Walker. "The Anadarko-led Area 1 Mozambique LNG project has come a long way from our first discovery to FID for the construction of the initial two-train development project. I want to say a collective 'thank you' to the world-class LNG team we have assembled at Anadarko, our co-venturers, long-term foundation customers, lenders, the people of the Cabo Delgado region, and the Government of Mozambique.

As the world increasingly seeks cleaner forms of energy, the Anadarko-led Area 1 Mozambique LNG project is ideally located to meet growing demand, particularly in expanding Asian and European markets. We look forward to safely executing the next phase of this project for the long-term benefit of Mozambique, its people, our partnership, and our customers."

The Anadarko-led Area 1 Mozambique LNG project will be Mozambique's first onshore LNG development, initially consisting of two LNG trains with total nameplate capacity of 12.88 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) to support the development of the Golfinho/Atum fields located entirely within Offshore Area 1. The project has successfully secured in aggregate 11.1 MTPA of long-term LNG sales (representing 86% of the plant's nameplate capacity) with key LNG buyers in Asia and in Europe. Additionally, the project is expected to have a significant domestic gas component for in-country consumption to help fuel future economic development.

As previously announced, the Anadarko-led Area 1 Mozambique LNG project has been designated as "First Mover" by the Government of Mozambique, meaning Area 1 will also be responsible for constructing the support facilities to be shared between Area 1 and Area 4 projects, which will include the Materials Offloading Facility and the LNG Marine Terminal. In addition, Area 1 has approximately 5,000 workers on-site today progressing works associated with the construction of a resettlement village, camp expansion, airstrip, and Palma-Afungi Highway.

Following today's ceremony, the project expects to soon issue Notices to Proceed under the terms of the previously executed engineering, construction, procurement and installation contracts and finalize financing.
