Tankers: Shell signs time-charter deal with AET for two LNG dual-fueled Aframaxes

Singapore (Platts)--13 Apr 2018 743 am EDT/1143 GMT

Malaysian tanker operator AET Tankers and Shell have formalized arrangements for the long-term charter of AET's two newbuild LNG dual-fueled Aframax tankers commencing in Q4 2018.

"These two LNG fueled vessels will help Shell Trading move crude, principally in the Atlantic basin. LNG is a credible marine fuel and will play an important role in our fleet as we introduce cleaner and more efficient vessels. As emissions standards tighten we continue to work with forward thinking companies like AET to support lower emission transportation solutions," said Mark Quartermain, vice president of crude trading and supply at Shell, in a statement released by AET Thursday.

AET's two 113,000 dwt vessels are currently being built by Samsung Heavy Industries in South Korea and are due for delivery from Q3 2018.

When operating in gas mode, these LNG dual-fueled tankers would emit up to 30% less CO2, 85% less NOx, 99% less SOx and 95% less particulates.

Both tankers will be Malaysian-flagged.

In early April, AET announced it would equip up to four Aframax newbuilds with the LNG dual-fuel option. AET's orderbook also includes two Suezmaxes and two Long Range 2 tankers.

In the light of coming regulatory changes on bunker fuel, LNG is considered to be a viable alternative to heavy fuel oil. From 2020, all shipping will be required to use fuel with a maximum of 0.5% sulfur.

In June 2017, AET was awarded a contract to build and operate two LNG dual-fueled DP2 Offshore Loading Shuttle Tankers for service in oilfields on the Norwegian Continental Shelf of the North Sea, Norwegian Sea and the southern Barents Sea as well as on the UK Continental Shelf. When operational, these ships are expected to be among the world's first LNG-fueled DP shuttle tankers and the most energy efficient.

AET specializes in the global ocean transport of petroleum and owns a fleet comprising 14 VLCCs, six Suezmaxes, one Panamax, 43 Aframaxes, four DP shuttle tankers, 13 chemical carriers, five LR2s, three MR2s and one LPG tanker.

AET is the petroleum logistics unit of Malaysian energy logistics group MISC Berhad. MISC is a subsidiary of Malaysian energy conglomerate Petronas.

BP to drill 2 new North Sea fields
By Ian Walker

Published: Apr 10, 2018 8:01 a.m. ET






BP PLC (BP.LN) said Tuesday that it will drill two new North Sea developments which are expected to come on stream in 2020, and to have peak production of 30,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day gross.

The oil major said Alligin and Vorlich are satellite fields located near to existing infrastructure, meaning they can be quickly developed through established offshore hubs.

BP has a 50% interest in Alligin and is operator while Royal Dutch Shell PLC RDSB has the other 50%. BP is also operator of Vorlich with a 66% interest, while Ithaca Energy has the remaining share.

Big Oil's New Favorite Toy: Supercomputers

Xukai Shen, a geophysicist working at BP Plc, had a hunch he could solve a riddle that had vexed the company: whether there was a lot of oil hidden beneath a salt dome 7,000 feet underwater in the Gulf of Mexico. So he asked to use the company's supercomputer exclusively for two weeks to check it out.

Using an algorithm, the 33-year-old with a Stanford PhD harnessed the computer's massive power last year to produce a clearer seismic image of what lay beneath. The result: a potentially massive oil find. With a clearer picture of the area, BP estimated 200 million barrels of crude lay hidden in the Atlantis oil field, a region the company had been plumbing for decades.

"Basically we found a field within a field," said Ahmed Hashmi, BP's head of technology for exploration and production, during a recent tour of the company's Houston supercomputer, as the machine hummed nearby.

BP is now in love with beefy computer power -- and it's far from the only one in the oil patch. Italy's Eni SpA has built a computing facility the size of a soccer field outside of Milan, crediting its help in all its most recent oil and gas discoveries. France's Total SA recently upgraded its Pangea supercomputer, nearly tripling its computing power.

While big oil companies were early adapters of supercomputers, some have poured hundreds of millions into upgrades, and now possess some of the most powerful commercially owned computers on the planet.

The efforts are part of a larger digital arms race among energy companies, which are embracing technology in newfound ways to produce fossil fuels more cheaply and efficiently. Earlier mechanical advances enabling the boom in U.S. oil and gas production and lowering prices have added to the pressure on companies to innovate even further.

The computers are costly, but can reduce the oil exploration process by months and save companies tens of millions of dollars by avoiding misplaced wells. To harness their potential, the companies are increasingly seeking to compete with Silicon Valley firms for top data and computer scientists.

"We're going all in," said Bernard Looney, BP's head of exploration and production. "We're only scratching the surface today of what's possible."

BP is in the middle of a five-year, $100 million investment in its Houston supercomputer. It's built a 15,000-square-foot room in a 3-story, flood-proof building to house the titan, which currently takes up about 50% of the space and has the computing power of around 50,000 iPhone 7s.

BP claimed it was the most powerful commercial research computer in the world in December. Within a month, however, it was overtaken by Eni's supercomputer. BP said it has room to expand its computer further.

Not everyone can take BP's build-your-own approach. Like high-cost deepwater oil projects, in-house supercomputing remains largely the domain of only the world's biggest oil companies. But smaller players are finding creative ways to take advantage of technological advances.

Devon Energy Corp., one of the largest U.S. shale oil producers, is putting its data in the cloud so it can use the virtual computing power Microsoft Corp.

"It costs me hundreds of thousands of dollars versus tens of millions," said Benjamin Williams, Devon's chief information officer. "You have to decide, am I going to use this giant capacity enough to justify the investment versus the premium I may pay from a cloud provider."

Mr. Williams said many high performance computing centers are idle 80% of the time, while Devon only pays for supercomputing when it needs it. Devon has a small innovation lab in its Oklahoma City headquarters, where its computer and data scientists can experiment on high-end computers and virtual reality platforms. The company developed three-dimensional visualization tools there that its geologists use to "get inside" Devon's oil reservoirs.

Exxon Mobil Corp., the world's biggest non-state-backed oil company, also outsources its demand for computing power to analyze seismic data and map the rocks it's planning to drill. Even BP uses outside computers for regular seismic analysis, reserving its giant facility in Texas for cutting-edge research.

How much the digital revolution really changes the century-old oil and gas industry remains to be seen. Some executives and analysts are already warning that companies have unrealistic expectations about the speed of adoption.

John Gibson, who heads the digital innovation team at energy investment bank Tudor Pickering Holt & Co, said most energy companies gutted their research and development funding during the past commodity price crashes, and hasn't recovered.

"Most of the horizontal drilling and fracking techniques we're using today were from research dollars that were spent in the early 90s," Mr. Gibson said. "There is basic research that the industry needs and we rely on academia for it right now."

BP says it's already reaping the benefits of experiments with advanced technology.

In Alaska, the company said it crunched 40 years of data on its operations, weather patterns and pipeline corrosion and found ways to maintain its 1,300 miles of pipelines in the state more efficiently by reducing on-site inspections.

The physical inspections -- as many as 100,000 locations a year -- only found issues 2.5% of the time, and were difficult to perform in a state where temperatures can get so cold that workers can only be in the elements for minutes at a time. With the analysis, BP has managed to reduce inspections 25% and better predict corrosion, Mr. Looney said.
