The three companies will aim to develop low carbon hydrogen hubs and decarbonized air corridors between the UK and UAE, and explore opportunities to provide sustainable energy and mobility solutions for cities in each country.

The wells, which were drilled by Odfjell Drilling's Deepsea Stavanger semisubmersible, have confirmed a combined updated gross resource range of 12-60 million BOE. Lundin Energy said the discoveries are being matured for possible project sanction before the end of 2022.

The BSEE inspections found, among other things, that most operators did not have specific training requirements for the prevention of dropped objects for the offshore personnel at the facilities.

The contract is for three firm and two optional wells to deliver all services including project management, directional drilling, drill bits, drilling fluids, cementing, solids control, wireline, slickline, completions, production enhancement and subsea services.

Shell plans to use the HiberHilo IoT system to reduce the amount of travel to and from wells in remote locations. Based on satellite technology, the system allows for the real-time measurement of well temperature and pressure on unconnected wells in remote and offshore locations. It has already been installed at Shell operations in the North Sea.

Participants in the partnership’s new flare management program reported a 50% reduction in flare volumes from 2019 to 2020, even as oil and natural gas production remained consistent among participating companies.

Located approximately 21.7 miles southeast of the Liza Phase 1 development, the Pinktail well encountered 220 ft of net pay in high quality oil bearing sandstone reservoir. Pinktail was drilled in 5,938 ft of water by Noble Corp's Noble Sam Croft drillship.

As part of the alliance, ADNOC Drilling will acquire eight FlexRig land rigs from H&P for $86.5 million. H&P will also make a $100 million cornerstone investment into ADNOC Drilling’s recently announced Initial Public Offering (IPO). ADNOC said in a statement that the deal will help the company reach 5 million bbl/day production capacity and gas self-sufficiency for the UAE by 2030.

Drilled by Odfjell Drilling's Deepsea Aberdeen semisubmersible, the Bergknapp oil discovery contained an estimated 40-84 million BOE after appraisal. The appraisal well is the second operated exploration well for Wintershall Dea in Norway in 2021, following the nearby Dvalin North discovery in PL 211 made in May.

Based on data from offshore operator reports submitted as of 11:30 CDT on 1 September, personnel have been evacuated from a total of 249 production platforms, 44.46% of the 560 manned platforms in the Gulf of Mexico. Personnel have been evacuated from nine non-dynamically positioned and four dynamically positioned rigs. BSEE estimates that 79.96% of oil production and 83.21% of gas production in the Gulf has been shut in.
