23/10/2018 12:45 | Lightbulb Leadership BP Borrows Ideas from Other Industries to Drive Billions in Savings “The Googles, the Apples, the pharma companies, the motor companies—we look at all of them.” Bloomberg | Oct 23, 2018 As the sun reaches its crest over Oman’s sandy landscape, temperatures soar past the point at which it can melt a road. The searing heat triggers sensors that roughnecks extracting natural gas from a BP Plc well are wearing across their chests. Faster than a drop of sweat can fall to the ground, they ping biological data to a bespoke, explosion-proof smartphone. After a near instantaneous analysis of heart rate, body temperature and breathing rhythm, a screen lights up. It’s time for a break. A medic in an office gets the same notification and will force the crew out of the heat if it comes to that. Failure to do so risks heat stroke, lost time and lost money. The use of data in this scenario described by BP holds big promise for the company, which has cut billions of dollars of costs following oil’s recent existential slump. If applied widely, technology could save even more, with machines able to prevent people and equipment from breaking down, rather than hustling to expensively repair them. BP is borrowing technology and adapting it for its own use. The idea of the body sensors in Oman came from fitness trackers that have adorned people’s wrists for years. For oil companies, sometimes seen as being set in their ways, it also represents a new culture. Looking at Innovative Companies, Big and Small “Because oil and gas is quite conservative, we spend a lot of time looking at the real innovative companies in the world, from big to small,” said BP’s Blaine Tookey, part of a 26-member team that spends most of its time “scanning̶ “The Googles, the Apples, the pharma companies, the motor companies—we look at all of them.” Tookey’s team morphed into its current form in 2014, just as plummeting oil prices were making cost cutting essential to survive. Under Chief Digital Innovation Officer Morag Watson and a few others at BP, the company has become transfixed on adapting tech used in everyday life. For example, the popular music app Shazam, which can identify millions of songs with a short sample. The British company applied the idea to an oil well out in the seas by putting miles of fiber-optic cables inside. The cables act as sensors and can record sounds as faint as moving grains of sand deep under the ocean. Like in the app, these are then matched to a library of acoustics, helping pinpoint problems—rangi “We used to save that data on hard drives and disks, and then we would send it to shore on a ship,” said Paul Beaumont, a production technology manager whose team designed the process of using the fiber-optic cables. “And after about three or four months they’d say: ‘Here’s a log of what’s going on in that well,’ and we’d say: ‘That was four months ago. Now things have changed.”̵ The benefits of cost cutting were readily apparent over the last few years. As Benchmark Brent oil crashed from above $100 a barrel to $28 in 2016, the company was forced to slash capital expenditure by about a third, or $10 billion annually. Yet production has been steadily climbing. It’s hard to say just how much BP stands to gain from integrating the best in consumer tech. Bernard Looney, the upstream chief executive officer, suggests much of the recent cost reductions have to do with tech’s increasing ability to let them do more for less. A favorite story he likes to tell at conferences is about BP’s Gulf of Mexico field Atlantis, where an algorithm by a Stanford student crunched data in two weeks that would have previously taken 1,000 years. That enabled the company to identify 200 million barrels—potent Looney even has a “reverse mentor,” a 20-something brainy BP petro-physicist who regularly tells him what the cool kids in tech are doing these days. “When a developer says: ‘Hey Paul, you want to see something cool?’ I know it’s going to be good.” BP’s Upstream Chief Information Officer David Rae sees so much potential in harvesting external ideas, he pioneered a program where his employees spend a few months working at other companies. The first set was expected to go to firms including Microsoft Corp. and International Business Machines Corp., he said. Still, like most technology that collect data, there are concerns about privacy. Tookey’s group want to attach tracking tags, popular with some major retailers, to workers’ helmets. That could give BP data on how people move through its refineries, improving the way they’re designed. It also sounds like something that could prove an employee took an unauthorized break. Tookey said the tech needs to ensure the data collected only shows broad trends, and is anonymous. His group is working on other tech. Like putting water bottle-sized satellites in the sky to keep a constant eye on its assets from space. Or giving engineers in an office on land a better look at oil-production platforms far out at sea by projecting a 360-degree view inside of a walk-in tent—an inspiration from crime-scene investigations. “The acceleration in the capability just in the last two years has been phenomenal, really,” said Beaumont. “When one of the developers says: ‘Hey Paul, you want to see something cool?’ I know it’s going to be good.” By Kelly Gilblom | la forge | |

22/10/2018 13:41 | Is the BP share price a ‘buy’ right now? Rupert Hargreaves | Monday, 22nd October, 2018 | More on: BP ENQ Image source: Getty Images. Over the past few weeks, as volatility has gripped the FTSE 100, shares in oil giant BP (LSE: BP) have remained surprisingly resilient. The stock has only declined by 2.4%, excluding dividends, since mid-July, compared to a decline of 7.8% for the FTSE 100 over the same period. In my view, this resilience shows that BP remains an investor favourite, and could be a great addition to your portfolio if you’re looking for stocks to protect your money from market volatility. Profits recovering Following years of cost-cutting, BP is now a leaner operation than ever before, which bodes well for investors. Indeed, shareholders are already reaping the benefits of the company’s leaner operating structure as the price of oil hovers near a multi-year high. Last year, the company became the first of the Big Oil group to re-introduce share buybacks. Most eliminated these efforts to return cash to investors when the price of oil started to decline in 2014. I’m expecting BP to ramp-up its cash return plans over the next six months as the firm’s bottom line gets a boost from the rising price of oil. On top of the buybacks, investors are entitled to a market-beating 5.6% dividend yield. The shares are hardly expensive either, changing hands for just 11.6 times forward earnings. With higher cash returns on the cards, I rate BP a ‘buy’ right now. High risk, high reward If BP is one of the FTSE 100 most trusted dividend stocks, at the other end of the spectrum is small-cap oil producer Enquest (LSE: ENQ), which has endured a mixed record of growth. For the past few years, the company has been struggling under a mountain of debt, built up when the price of oil was trading above $100 a barrel. Management has pulled out all of the stops to keep the business alive and, so far, these efforts seem to be paying off. The rising price of oil has helped, but cost reductions have done the bulk of the heavy lifting, putting Enquest back on a stable footing. Management is now so confident that the company’s recovery is on-track that it’s started chasing growth again. The group recently exercised an option with BP to expand its ownership of the jointly-owned Magnus field and associated infrastructure and the Thistle and Deveron fields. This deal will give the firm an estimated additional 60m barrels of reserves for a total cost of £106m, funded by way of a rights issue. As it continues its recovery, I view Enquest as a binary investment. The company will either make a full recovery or fail. I think the former is more likely, and the subsequent stock price recovery could produce tremendous gains for investors. For example, right now the stock is trading at a forward P/E of just 2.4 that’s compared to the sector average of 8.2. These figures tell me that if Enquest can convince investors its recovery is the real deal, there could be an upside of 240% or more on offer here. The reward is certainly worth the extra risk in my view. Getting Rich Slowly It's easy to make a million by using a simple strategy such as tracking the FTSE 100 and letting your money work for you. Unfortunately, most investors 'over-trade' and, as a result, their returns suffer significantly...

22/10/2018 09:40 | Monday 22 October 2018 9:24am BP and Shell get green light for North Sea joint venture, drilling for 20m barrels of oil Share Joe Curtis Joe Curtis is the digital editor of City A.M. Follow Joe BP Filling Station Signage The Alligin approval is BP's second go-ahead to drill for oil in two months (Source: Getty) BP and Shell received approval for their 50-50 joint Shetland venture today, which they predict could produce 20m barrels of oil. The Alligin oil field in the North Sea should produce 12,000 barrels of oil per day at its peak once it comes on stream in 2020, the oil giants said. Read more: BP wins approval for North Sea project to produce 30m oil barrels Ariel Flores, BP's North Sea regional president, said: “We announced our intention to develop Alligin in April and six months later we have achieved regulatory approval. Always maintaining our focus on safety, we are modernising and transforming how we work in the North Sea to fully realise the potential of our portfolio. “Alligin is part of our advantaged oil story, rescuing stranded reserves and tying them back into existing infrastructure. Developments like this have shorter project cycles, allowing us to bring on new production quicker. These subsea tiebacks complement our major startups and underpin BP’s commitment to the North Sea.” The fast-tracked development, 140km west of Shetland, was approved by the Oil and Gas Authority (OGA), and will use new subsea infrastructure including gas lift and water injection pipeline systems, with Deepsea Aberdeen’s rig drilling the pair of wells. Read more: Oil prices fall after US crude inventories boosted by six million barrels It is BP’s second approval for North Sea drilling in the last two months, after it received regulatory approval for its Vorlich oil field in September, where it hopes to fill 30m barrels of oil. Meanwhile, its development at its Clair Ridge field is expected to begin later this year, targeting 640m barrels of oil and 120,000 barrels of oil a day. Brenda Wyllie, west of Shetland and northern North Sea area manager for the OGA, said BP and Shell’s Alligin field will benefit from storing oil in its recently built Glen Lyon ship, which can store and offload oil “[It] is a good example of the competitive advantage available to operators from the extensive infrastructure installed in the UK continental shelf,” she added. | maywillow | |
22/10/2018 09:35 | BP given approval to develop new North Sea oil field North Sea Oil is recovering from a previous slump. (File Photo) North Sea Oil is recovering from a previous slump. (File Photo) Published: 08:32 Monday 22 October 2018 Share this article Sign Up To Our Daily Newsletter 16 Have your say BP has been granted approval to develop the Alligin field in the North Sea, targeting 20 million barrels of oil equivalent. The field, which lies 87 miles (140km) west of Shetland, is expected to produce 12,000 barrels gross of oil equivalent a day at peak. BP has received approval from the Oil and Gas Authority (OGA) to proceed with the development, which is expected to come on stream in 2020. Alligin forms part of the Greater Schiehallion Area and the new development will consist of two wells which will be tied back into the existing Schiehallion and Loyal subsea infrastructure, using the processing and export facilities of the Glen Lyon floating, production storage, offload (FPSO) vessel. READ MORE: New BP field to produce 30,000 barrels a day BP North Sea regional president Ariel Flores said: “We announced our intention to develop Alligin in April and six months later we have achieved regulatory approval. “Always maintaining our focus on safety, we are modernising and transforming how we work in the North Sea to fully realise the potential of our portfolio. “Alligin is part of our advantaged oil story, rescuing stranded reserves and tying them back into existing infrastructure. “Developments like this have shorter project cycles, allowing us to bring on new production quicker. These subsea tiebacks complement our major start-ups and underpin BP’s commitment to the North Sea.” Alligin is operated by BP with Shell as a joint venture partner. Brenda Wyllie, West of Shetland and Northern North Sea area manager at OGA, said: “The Oil and Gas Authority is pleased to consent to the development of the Alligin field. “This fast-tracked project will maximise economic recovery through utilising capacity in the Glen Lyon FPSO and is a good example of the competitive advantage available to operators from the extensive infrastructure installed in the UKCS.” This is BP’s second North Sea development approval in the past two months. | maywillow | |
21/10/2018 08:34 | BP CEO: $80 Oil Is Unhealthy For The World By Tsvetana Paraskova - Oct 20, 2018, 11:59 PM CDT BP Oil prices at $80 a barrel are too high and unhealthy for the world today, Bob Dudley, the chief executive of UK supermajor BP, said on the sidelines of an event on Friday. “There’s a healthy price for oil and energy and I believe that balances producing countries and consuming countries,” Quartz quoted Dudley as saying on the sidelines of the conference One Young World in The Hague. “In my mind, it’s somewhere between $50 and $65 a barrel. The world can live with this,” Dudley noted. Emerging and developing economies like India, South Africa, or Turkey are seeing their highest-ever prices of gasoline because their currencies have rapidly depreciated against the U.S. dollar and because oil prices in dollars are high, BP’s chief executive said. Currently, oil prices are “artificially high” due to Venezuela “defying gravity” and to the U.S. sanctions on Iran, according to Dudley, who said that once those geopolitical events subside, fundamentals will return to rule the market and prices should return back to $60-$65 a barrel. Oilprice.com The most vital industry information will soon be right at your fingertips Join the world's largest community dedicated entirely to energy professionals and enthusiasts Join Today BP won’t be joining any EU special purpose vehicle designed to keep trade with Iran flowing, Dudley stressed, noting that “I think it’s full of risk.” Related: What Killed The Oil Price Rally? The concerns of BP’s chief executive that $80 oil is unhealthy for the world are shared by major international organizations such as the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Expensive energy is back and it is threatening global economic growth, the IEA said in its Oil Market Report last week. Also last week, the IMF slightly downgraded its projection for global growth for this year and next—at 3.7 percent, growth is now expected 0.2 percentage point lower than IMF’s forecast from April this year. The key reasons for the downgrade included trade disputes, geopolitical tensions, and a weaker outlook for emerging economies due to higher oil import bills, among other factors, according to the IMF.
