Dalia Field – Angola
Dalia discovered in 1997, 135 kilometres offshore
in water depths of 1,500 metres. The launch of
Dalia, which came onstream in late 2006, was a
significant step in the development of block 17,
where 15 earlier discoveries have been made.

Tideland wins Angola LNG contract
Tideland Signal has won a further order to supply
eight of its SB-2200 polyethylene buoys complete with
MaxLED-200 lanterns to the new LNG port at Soyo in
the north of Angola.
The new buoys will be used in marking the approach
channel and are supplied complete with mooring
chains and sinkers.
Tideland’s SB-2200 buoy features an asymmetric
twin keel hull design that enables it to remain
upright in fast currents, optimising the performance
of the lantern beam for range and visibility. It is
manufactured from rotationally moulded polyethylene
with a solid core of expanded polystyrene foam,
making it virtually unsinkable as the integral foam
core prevents excessive water ingress in the event of
a collision.
The Angola LNG Project is expected to produce
5.2 million tonnes of LNG per year, processing and
treating up to 125 million cubic feet per day of gas
for use in industrial projects. First LNG production
is expected by early 2012 to be delivered into the
U.S. natural gas market via the Clean Energy regasification terminal near Pascagoula, Mississippi
which is under development by Gulf LNG Energy LLC.

Rig Newbuild
Sembcorp Marine’s PPL Shipyard
secures a US$208 million contract
Sembcorp Marine’s subsidiary PPL Shipyard has secured
a US$208 million contract to construct a Pacific Class 400
jack-up drilling rig for Perisai Inc, a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Perisai Petroleum Teknologi Bhd, with an option to
construct an additional unit of a similar specification jackup rig for delivery in the second quarter of 2015.
The price for the option rig is US$210 million with
adjustment to certain cost escalation. The Pacific Class
400 jack-up drilling rig is PPL Shipyard’s proprietary design.
This design is well established and is an enhanced version
of PPL Shipyard’s acclaimed and successful Pacific Class
375 design series, of which 27 units are now operating
worldwide. The Pacific Class 400 rig represents the latest
generation of high-specification jack-up rigs that are
capable of operating in water depths of 121.92 metres
and drilling to depths of 9,144 metres.
Chevron deploys Pacific Santa Ana for
Gulf of Mexico deepwater drilling campaign
The deepwater drillship Pacific Santa Ana has arrived in
the Gulf of Mexico to work for Chevron under a five year
contract with a subsidiary of Pacific Drilling S.A.
Pacific Santa Ana is the first drillship designed with the
capacity to perform DGD (dual gradient drilling).
Unlike conventional deepwater drilling, which uses a
single drilling fluid weight in the borehole, dual gradient
drilling employs two weights of drilling fluid; one above
the seabed, another below. This allows drillers to more
closely match the pressures presented by nature and
effectively eliminates water depth as a consideration
in well design. DGD also allows drillers to more quickly
detect and appropriately react to downhole pressure
changes, which can enhance the safety and efficiency of
deepwater drilling operations.
Pacific Santa Ana is equipped with a DGD riser, a mud lift
pump handling system, six mud pumps; three for drilling
fluid and three for seawater; extensive fluid management
system enhancements and more than 21,945.6 metres
of DGD related cables.
After additional equipment is installed and tested, Pacific
Santa Ana will be used for exploratory and development
drilling in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico.
Diamond Offshore receives fourth ultra
deepwater drillship order worth US$655
million
Diamond Offshore Drilling Limited has entered into a
turnkey contract with Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. for
construction of a new ultra-deepwater drillship with delivery

expected to be approximately US$655 million. The
new drillship will be named Ocean BlackLion. Design
specifications include dynamic-positioning, dual activity
capability, a maximum hook-load capacity of 1,250 tons,
and operating capability at water depths up to 3,657.6
metres, though initially outfitted for operation at 3,048
metres. The unit will also feature two seven-ram blowout
preventer (BOP) stacks, with the second available for use as
a spare.

Bumi Armada to lay Caspian inter field
pipelines
OOO LUKOIL Nizhnevolzhskneft has contracted
Bumi Armada Caspian to install subsea oil and
gas pipelines at the Vladimir Filanovsky field in the
Russian sector of the Caspian Sea.
These will connect the Vladimir Filanovsky and
Yuri Korchagin fields. Each pipeline will be around
40 kilometres long, and be equipped with band
anodes, three layer insulation based on extruded
polypropylene, and solid concrete ballasting coating.
Bumi Armada will also lay seven starting sections of
the infield pipelines, each one kilometre long, at the
riser block assembly point at the Vladimir Filanovsky
field. These lines will be used for further infrastructure
development.
The first stage of pipeline construction should be
completed by end 2014 and the second stage in
summer 2015.
Overall, the infrastructure development project for
the field incorporates more than 330 kilometres of
subsea lines and 350 kilometres of onshore lines.
Field commissioning is scheduled for end 2015.
Reef Subsea awarded Ormen Lange
seabed dredging contract by Shell
Reef Subsea has been awarded by A/S Norske Shell
a seabed dredging contract on Ormen Lange field
development.
The task will be performed by the newly built
Scanmachine 4, the new generation of the highly
experienced tool carrier developed and operated by
Scanmudring. The water depth, challenging seabed
conditions and high precision required in achieving
the work are ideal to the new Scanmachine 4
capabilities.
The project objective is to perform final seabed
preparation for pipelay within narrow geometrical
tolerances and with a curved route to follow. The
dredging and rectification works will be achieved at
the Ormen Lange field development at a water depth
of about 950 metres, with an uneven seabed mainly
composed of hard clay. The contract has an option
for similar work to be accomplished for Ormen Lange
Further North development.
