They've only been right next to Shaikan for 5 years.

Poor results for Exxon on Al Qush gives Exxon greater reason to look towards Shaikan !!!

I don't have to post but I will 😃

The results of the drill at Al Qush have been known within certain circles for sometime (12 months or so) and weren't particularly considered good.

Plus it is thought that there is a fault between us and them and NO TESTING HAS BEEN DONE to prove that thought wrong.

I best not put up the results but they are common knowledge in Erbil.

So I am afraid that ramp won't take off.

Enjoy the rest of your day 😃

I wonder if maceedees do a drive through next to Manchester Ship Canal. If not Tony will be starving in his (extra large) dinghy.

nestoframpers: GKP said on 8 December 2016 that it is a gas-fuelled power station which was built for the KRG. The capital cost was very substantial, and the power station is not yet in use because the anticipated gas supply has not yet been delivered to site.

We know that the MNR want to restrict or reduce long-term flaring of gas, which causes environmental damage and is simply burning money. Earlier this year, GKP installed an air-injection feature in the PF-2 burner in order to stop the smoke which was a problem for local villagers. Monetising the gas by putting it into a power station is the logical move, and the current 3C Contingent Gas Resources figure for Shaikan is 2.355 Tcf, which is substantial. There is also gas nearby at Atrush and Simrit (Hunt Oil). Gathering the gas from these three fields for power generation is an obvious opportunity; whether it would be worth installing a gas pipeline from Swara Tika, I don't know.

Arguably, Shaikan is currently producing rather less gas than was originally expected. The Shaikan Jurassic reservoir was originally believed to be aquifer-drive, so that the oil and gas would simply be driven out of the wells by the (supposed) high-pressure aquifer. But more recently Shaikan has been found to be gas-drive, with a gas cap forming and expanding downwards as the oil is produced to surface. It therefore follows that some of the gas which was earlier expected to be available at surface (putting aside GKP's longer-term intention to reinject it using high-pressure pumps, thereby maintaining the reservoir pressure needed for maintaining oil production) is remaining within the reservoir, in the form of the expanding gas cap. When all the moveable oil has been released from the Jurassic matrix (which won't happen quickly) the gas cap can then be produced, with water taking its place.

In the medium term, increased output from the Shaikan Jurassic (anything from the 55,000/110,000 bopd "Phase One" upwards) will produce more gas. There's a lot down there, that's obvious. And together with the Atrush and Simrit gas, there should be enough IMO for power generation. There are figures available for the levels of gas produced (flared) per day from Shaikan, Atrush and Swara Tika, if one looks hard. The situation regarding Exxon's Al Qush block is unknown.

The significance IMO of the potential use of the gas for power generation isn't primarily (for the operators) revenue, but probably more for removing the gas-flaring problem.

Thanks to WZR, I see that kthe correct position of the Shaikan E-Power Station is now being shown and officially acknowledged as Badriya ICE.

hxxp://www.westernzagros.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/151214_operator_activity-updated-pipeline-blocks.pdf

It's right at the SW corner of the Shaikan block, about 5km S of SH-4 and about 12km from the PF-1.

For those interested in such detail, the Shaikan PSC identifies this SW corner point as 36-45-13N, 43-14-45E (degrees, minutes, seconds).

Centre point of the Badriya turbine hall is exactly 36-45-13N and 43-14-41E.

From the 4 largish oil storage tanks shown on the sat images I assume it's an oil-fired generator station.

My last sat image of this site is Sept 2014, so I presume it must be almost finished.

It would be nice to think it's going to be fed with Shaikan oil...

Al Qush 80% XOM and 20% KRG , they still have it so probably a good result.Was this hack a deliberate leak ?

"Hacked emails reveal details of Exxon’s Kurdistan activity

Disappointing exploration results drove Exxon to relinquish half of its Kurdistan portfolio, according to private correspondence with Turkey's energy leaders published by Wikileaks.

Published Tuesday, December 20th, 2016

Five years and $1.1 billion after making a politically tumultuous decision to invest in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, ExxonMobil's oil exploration has yielded only modest results.Internal memos and correspondence from both Exxon and its joint-venture partner, the state-run Turkish Energy Company (TEC), provide new insight into the American super-major's operations in Kurdistan and its recent decision to exit three of its six contracts with the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG)."
