Dubai saves 255,000kWh of energy during Earth Hour 2014 WAM

Despite a busy Saturday night in Dubai, the joint effort of its residents to switch off lights for 60

minutes during Earth Hour resulted in energy savings of 255,000kWh – enough energy to power

16 average homes for one year – which is 22 per cent higher than last year's savings.

The figures were released by the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa) after the hour-long

environmental movement on Saturday night that was celebrated in the UAE and 7,000 cities

worldwide.

Earth Hour is an annual, global movement that started in 2007 that called on cities and homes to

switch off their lights for one hour to limit carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions that is the main cause of

global warming and climate change. The event was first celebrated in Dubai in 2008.

To give you an idea, the energy that residents conserved on Saturday night was equal to the

greenhouse gas emissions of 37 passenger vehicles for one year or about 63 tonnes of waste

sent to the landfill, according to the Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator of the US

Environment Protection Agency (EPA).

This year's savings increased by more than 20 per cent compared to 2013 savings of

200,000kWh. In 2012, Dubai residents saved some 216,000kWh – equivalent to Dh1 million.

"Earth Hour this year achieved strong results in reducing electricity consumption thanks to our

partners from ministries, government departments and private institutions, and significant

participation from the various segments of society, which underlines the strong environmental

awareness of the residents of Dubai,” said Saeed Mohammad Al Tayer, managing director and

CEO of Dewa.

Since 2008, Dubai has reduced a total

of 1,036,000kWh of electricity

consumption and 622 tonnes of CO2

emissions. This roughly means about

150 cars taken off the roads for one

year or greenhouse gases saved from

about 256 tonnes of waste in landfills,

if the EPA calculations were to be

used.

The same amount of CO2 emissions is

equivalent to burning gasoline from 9.5

average tanker trucks that carry 8,500

gallons of gasoline each. Earth Hour

saw iconic landmarks of the country such as the Burj Khalifa, the Shaikh Zayed Grand Mosque,

the Shaikh Rashid Tower, the Sharjah Museum, and more than 100 official supporting

organisations dim their lights for 60 minutes on Saturday.

Oman can become a major centre for enhanced oil recovery BYTIMES NEWS SERVICE

Oman could reap huge economic rewards by becoming a global centre of excellence for enhanced oil

recovery (EOR) expertise and innovation, a major oil and gas industry event in Muscat was told yesterday.

Delegates from around the world heard of the possible 'very significant' commercial benefits for the country

at the official opening of the three-day Oil and Gas West Asia (OGWA) Exhibition and Conference event.

The Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) is currently executing 16 EOR projects and trials with a further

six under concept review. The company has just completed a successful pilot programme at its Amal West

facility in southern Oman to use solar energy to generate steam for oil recovery as a cheaper, environment-

friendly alternative to natural gas.

Solar EOR

In his keynote address, PDO managing director Raoul Restucci said: "The implementation of solar EOR

carries obvious advantages in terms of both the environment and security of energy supply, freeing up

natural gas for other economic activities, such as power generation, water desalination and as a feedstock

and energy for industrial processes.

"The windfall for Oman from solar EOR is potentially significant. Research and development and the

design, manufacture and deployment of solar technology and infrastructure could further boost and position

the Sultanate as a global hub of EOR excellence and innovation, and provide the ICV opportunity to

develop Omani skills and jobs and help in diversifying the economy. "We are committed to ensuring that

the key technologies, services, materials and components required for EOR are Omanised as much as

possible while ensuring quality and cost competitiveness. There is no reason why we can't leverage the

massive purchasing power of the oil and gas industry to the benefit of Oman and Omanis, and continue to

embed ICV thinking."

Miscible gas injection

PDO is engaged in thermal, miscible gas and chemical EOR and this is expected to account for a third of

its production by 2023 as conventional techniques become less effective. As an example, Restucci

revealed the company had recently awarded the next phase of expansion targeting another 250 million

barrels of oil at Harweel, its first full-scale miscible gas injection project, on top of the initial 160 million

barrels earmarked.

"With our portfolio of mature assets and the Sultanate's complex oil and gas reservoirs, EOR is a 'must do'

if we are to secure improved ultimate recovery and meet our stakeholder expectations," added Restucci.

"The good news is that extensive analysis and field implementation results in several areas of PDO's

portfolio reveal substantial volumes of oil recoverable through EOR techniques. And we are walking the

talk, ramping up EOR efforts with respect to research and development, field and pilot testing and

technology deployment with the ultimate goal of providing all of PDO's fields with a suitable EOR

roadmap," he added. PDO experts have formulated 15 papers for presentation at the conference, centred

on the theme of driving integrated and innovative EOR.

Chad: United Hydrocarbon announces successful drilling in Chad Source: United Hydrocarbon via Yahoo! Finance

United Hydrocarbon International Corp has annnounced the successful results of drilling two wells on its Production Sharing Contract area in the Doba Basin, located in southern Chad.

The 'Belanga North-1' exploration well was drilled to a total depth of 1,392 meters and encountered three oil-bearing sand intervals; two in the targeted Upper Cretaceous 'YO' sands with a combined thickness of 16.5 meters (net), and a previously untested 5-meter (net) sand in a shallower horizon. A 14.5 meter section of the 'YO' sand was perforated and flow tested. At the end of a 15-hour cleanup and flow test period with an 18% pressure drawdown, the final flow rate was 680 barrels of oil per day with no water. Oil was also recovered from the previously untested 5-meter thick sand with a wireline testing tool. Subject to further analysis, the oil recovered during the flow tests appears to be similar in quality to the oil in nearby fields that have been in commercial production since 2004.

The Company also drilled a well at 'Belanga 1A' to further delineate the oil discovery at Belanga 1, originally drilled in the 1970's by a previous operator. The well encountered a 9-meter oil zone in the 'YO' sand, approximately 50% thicker than the oil zone in the original discovery well. Crude oil was produced to surface before the flow test was terminated due to a mechanical problem. The Company plans to conduct a long-term flow test at a later date.

'We are very encouraged by the significant discovery results of our 2014 drilling program in the DOC and DOD blocks in southern Chad,' commented Ned Goodman, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. 'There is substantial additional evaluation work ahead of us to prove the ultimate value of the overall drilling program. Extensive 3D seismic survey and development wells are needed to confirm the commercial viability of the Belanga discovery, as well as substantial drilling to prove the viability of the potential magnitude of the Lake Chad area.'

In connection with the Belanga discovery, the independent members of the Company's board of directors have agreed to grant a $10 million discovery bonus to Dundee Corporation in recognition of the contribution made by the Dundee Group and its senior officers and directors, towards the success of the Belanga discovery, especially including its extensive risky financial support during a time that the Company was unable to secure alternative financing. Dundee has agreed to accept 20 million shares of the Company in lieu of paying cash for this discovery bonus and for Dundee's assistance.

In addition, and in order to simplify the capital structure of the Company, the board of directors has removed the necessity of the Company's shares trading above certain specified values in order for those holders of Performance Warrants to exercise their warrants. This will allow holders of the warrants to purchase shares of the Company at the exercise price of the warrant at their discretion.

GE Signs New Global Frame Deal to Supply Gas Turbines to Petronas GE Press Release

GE has signed a new seven-year Global Frame Agreement with Petronas, Malaysia’s leading oil and gas corporation. The agreement, which includes an option to renew for a further three years, calls for GE to supply gas turbine packages for Petronas’ onshore and offshore projects in Malaysia and other countries around the world.

The signing follows the successful completion of the first frame agreement between GE and Petronas signed in 2009, under which GE provided advanced turbo-compression and turbo generation technology for Petronas’ Liquefied National Gas (LNG) Train 9 project in Bintulu, Sarawak. Another major milestone was the award of Petronas’ Floating LNG project, which is targeted to be the world’s first offshore LNG plant. Designed to produce 1 million tons of LNG a year, the startup of the facility is scheduled for 2016.

“Through these collaborative agreements we achieve the benefits of a competitive capex with lower total cost of ownership, world class equipment availability and reliability and superior support from GE,” said Wan Zulkiflee Wan Ariffin, Petronas COO and executive vice president, Downstream.

“GE is committed to reinforcing our strong, long-term partnership and collaboration with Petronas,” said Lorenzo Simonelli, CEO of GE Oil & Gas. “This new agreement allows us to be more closely aligned with Petronas so that we can better anticipate their technology needs and streamline the delivery process.”

To optimize project deadlines and reduce costs, all terms and conditions under the agreement have been negotiated for the duration of the relationship, avoiding the need to negotiate on a project-by-project basis. The equipment supplied is also standardized whenever applicable so that specifications, technical solutions and documentation are shared, resulting in lower engineering costs and quality improvements.

At the signing ceremony, which took place March 26, Petronas also awarded a long-term service contract to SapuraKencana GE Oil & Gas Services Sdn. Bhd., a joint venture company that GE created with SapuraKencana Berhad for the maintenance of GE turbomachinery. The formation of the joint venture underscores SapuraKencana and GE’s ongoing commitment to building local service capabilities and to develop and train the next generation of engineering and service experts in Malaysia.

Eni CEO sentenced to three years in prison Source to La Repubblica.

Paolo Scaroni, the Chief Executive of Italy’s largest oil company Eni, has been sentenced

to three years in prison.

According to La Repubblica, the court of Rovigo accepted the prosecution’s argument that Scaroni, while being the CEO of Enel, Italy’s largest electricity utility, was guilty of willfully omitting to install the proper equipment to monitor pollution from the Porto Tolle power plant.

Under the sentence, Scaroni, who served as Enel CEO between May 2003 and May 2005, has also been slapped with a five-year public office ban. Scaroni said he was astonished by the decision and added he would ‘immediately file an appeal’, La

Repubblica further says. Franco Tato, Enel CEO between 1996 and 2002, has also been sentenced to thee years in prison and five years without public office role, according to La Repubblica.

Mr Scaroni, now chief executive of Italy’s Eni, denies wrongdoing, and said on Monday that he would appeal against the verdict by the court in Rovigo. He said the diesel-fired Porto Tolle power plant had “always operated within legal standards”.

Defence lawyers for Mr Scaroni noted that the court had thrown out the more serious charges of causing an environmental disaster, while ruling the power plant had been a risk. Franco Tato, another former Enel chief executive who denies wrongdoing, was also found guilty while Fulvio Conti, Enel’s current chief executive, and six other defendants were acquitted.

Under the Italian justice system, court sentences may not be implemented until the appeals process is completed. The court’s judgment – which followed nine years of hearings including an earlier trial that acquitted Mr Scaroni – could be seen as an eloquent testimony of the need of reform to Italy’s notoriously protracted judicial system.

But for Mr Scaroni, who ran Enel from 2002 until 2005 when he was appointed chief executive of Eni, the criminal conviction comes at a delicate juncture.

Along with several hundred other senior managers and board members at state-controlled companies and entities, Mr Scaroni is waiting to know if he will be given another three-year mandate by Italy’s new government led by a prime minister who revels in the nickname of “demolition man”.

Matteo Renzi said on Monday night, however, that the government would make its decision on Mr Scaroni’s future “independently” of the court’s ruling.

Under new corporate bylaws that the finance ministry wants introduced at Eni and other state-controlled companies, board members accused of financial crimes would have to step down at the early stage in Italy’s lengthy judicial process of being referred to a preliminary court hearing. Mr Scaroni’s crime would not fit that category, lawyers said.

However Mr Scaroni is under a separate investigation for alleged involvement in bribery related to Algerian contracts won by Eni’s subsidiary Saipem. Mr Scaroni denies the allegations and has not been charged.

Turkmenistan to invest $10 billion in Kiyanly Petrochemicals Project http://www.2b1stconsulting.com/turkmenistan-to-invest-10-billion-in-kiyanly-petrochemicals-project/

The national oil and gas company Turkmengas State Concern (Turkmengas) is planning to invest $10 billion capital expenditure in a greenfield world-scale petrochemical complex at Kyyanly, also spelled Kiyanly, on East Coast of the Caspian Sea.

Located in front Azerbaijan around the Caspian Sea and squeezed between Iran on the south and Uzbekistan – Kazakhstan in the north, Turkmenistan is ranked as the sixth largest country in the world by natural gas reserves.

In 2011 Turkmenistan revised by threefold its natural gas reserves from 94 trillion cubic feet (tcf) to 265 tcf after the appraisal of several gas fields appearing among the world largest gas fields identified so far.

The Gelkynish gas field is estimated to contain 26.2 tcf of gas on its own, becoming the world second largest gas field.

In addition to Gelkynish, Turkmenistan counts 9 other fields holding more than 3.5 tcf reserves of gas.

In crude oil, Turkmenistan declared 600 million barrels of proven reserves with a

production running around 244,000 barrels per day (b/d). From his huge natural gas reserves, Turkmenistan produced only 2.3 tcf in 2011 and still suffers from limited transportation pipelines infrastructure to export to China, Russia and Iran only.

In this context the Government is working on programs to ramp up the oil and gas production and to optimize the monetization of these resources.

Considering that the gas prices in Europe and Asia are more likely to depress than stabilizing or increasing, Turkmenistan cannot rely only on exporting crude oil and natural gas to sustain its economical development.

Therefore the development of the downstream sector is critical for this country of 5 million inhabitants.

Japan and Korea to provide Kiyanly technologies , to export PE – PP from Kyyanly Complex

In 2012 the Turkmen Government selected Kiyanly seaside to set up a world-scale petrochemical complex and opened discussions with Japan and South Korea to provide financing and technologies.

In September 2013, a financial cooperation agreement was signed to support the Kyyanly Petrochemical project between the Turkmen State Bank for Foreign Economic Affairs and the Japanese Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC).

Due to mobilize $10 billion capital expenditure, this Kiyanly Petrochemical complex will be developed in multiple phases up from the first building blocks to a wide spread of chemical specialties until 2030.

Meanwhile the Turkmen Government finalized the financing of the project, it signed partnerships with Japanese and South Korean companies to provide the license and the engineering expertise to design and build the multiple production units that will phase up the Kyyanly Petrochemical Complex on the Caspian Sea.

With 5 billion cubic meters per year natural raw gas supplied from the adjacent existing Petronas gas processing plant, Turkmengas is planning to build at Kiyanly:

- Gas separation unit (GSU)

- Ethane cracker

- Polyethylene (PE) unit

- Polypropylene (PP) unit

- Offsites and Utilities

- Sulfate natrium and detergents plant

- Nitrogen fertilizers with urea and ammonia plants

- Gasoline plant

- Liquid fuels plant

- Sulfuric acid unit to develop phosphate fertilizer in Turkmenabat

To design and build these different chemical production units, the Japanese and South Korean companies established multiple consortia.

Turkmengas Kiyanly ethylene cracker is designed to produce:

- 386,000 tonnes per year (t/y) of high density polyethylene (HDPE)

- 81,000 t/y of polypropylene (PP)

After signing the financing agreement and setting the main licences and engineering partnerships with Japanese and South Korean consortia, Turkmengas is willing to proceed on fast track to build the first phases of the Kyyanly seaside petrochemical complex in Turkmenistan
