[steelwatch] 01/12/2008 16:18

RNS must be imminent.

The aroma of coffee is starting to percolate through the nostrils of the somnolent!

sg - click the 'Previous' button and you will find a map which may give a clue.

Looks to me like sea tiger is returning from a rig.I don't have charts of that area at home but it would be interesting to plot the reciprocal of the current course 225/232 degrees and see if it passes the drill site.

sg - had this before on other rig moves. Sometimes they seem to adopt stealth mode!

[sg31] 28/11/2008 17:55

I wan't sure if they had another job to go too and would come back to Byford Dolphin after or if we would get different tugs.AIS is great for ships which are moving but they are not shown if they don't move for a bit.Thats why I think it would have updated if it had moved.
My boat systems can pick up AIS but it's all a bit new to me.Like you I tend to use it for tracking rigs.I'm no expert tho.

[steelwatch] 28/11/2008 17:49

Apart from Dea Server, all the AIS is 5 days old, during which time I am fairly confident that the sea state improved enough.

[steelwatch] 28/11/2008 17:46

Dea Server


Look at the list for:

Havila Saturn
Skandi Møgster and
Sea Tiger

[steelwatch] 28/11/2008 17:43

sg - I think so. The three tugs are contracted to other rig moves over the weekend and Dea server is moored in Fraserburg. I'll post the links in a sec. Hold on.

[sg31] 28/11/2008 17:07

Has it moved yet cos AIS hasn't updated since the 22nd

[steelwatch] 28/11/2008 16:14

sg - moving the rig and anchoring was the problem. Once done, the rig is designed to cope with the sort of wave heights you might expect for that location.

[sg31] 28/11/2008 16:10

Wind speeds for 29/11/08 look OK but inreasing wind on 30/11/08 up to 35kts

[steelwatch] 28/11/2008 12:39

27.11.08 AHTS Skandi Møgster Total UK R/M GA II D/D from 29.11.08

26.11.08 AHTS Havila Saturn Dong E&P R/M Maersk Resolute D/D from 30.11.08

Sea Tiger Senergy R/M Byford Dolphin - Available Aberdeen 29.11.08

Spud this weekend now looks very likely

[steelwatch] 27/11/2008 20:05

Dea Server - moored in Fraserburgh today



The rest of the flotilla has not reported now for 4 days, but the 3 tugs are provisionally back in ABZ 29/11 for other commitments.

[steelwatch] 25/11/2008 09:49

Sea state seems to be easing a little.

[soulsauce] 25/11/2008 09:38

Looks as though this is suffering from Oilexco fall-out like many other small oilers with plays in the N.Sea like AEY, SQZ, ELP etc.

I suppose the worry is the on-going costs set against a falling oil price and lines of credit drying up.

Look at HAWK this morning. They have had to raise at 20p against a share price of 36p, absolute disgrace. Some institutions that have funds must be rubbing their hands scrooge like.

FQS - West Don all in costs $28 pbo according to the webcast.

[failedqs] 25/11/2008 09:06

good grief, this gets worse....
usually my investments take months to dive, this one has lost me about 60% in about a month....
I still beleive this will come good, it needs a recovery in oil prices though (hopefully before Don comes on stream!!)

[steelwatch] 23/11/2008 10:38

Fingers crossed - no AIS traffic since yesterday, and a weather window seems to have opened.

[steelwatch] 22/11/2008 10:32

Continuing bad weather may delay Byford Dolphin tow out imo.

Northern Producer sets up at Don

By Upstream staff


Operator Petrofac announced the arrival of the semi-submersible production platform, the Northern Producer, on location to the Don development area in the North Sea.


The unit has undergone a major refurbishment programme at the McNulty Offshore facility in Newcastle upon Tyne.

In addition to upgrading of field specific equipment, the Northern Producer underwent major life enhancement works and equipment refurbishment.


"The safe installation of the unit in its permanent location on the Don fields marks the start of the final phase of infrastructure tie-ins, commissioning and drilling operations ahead of production," said Petrofac

vice president Bill Dunnett.

Meanwhile, the company also announced that the Transocean John Shaw has now completed drilling the first West Don production well.

The well achieved over 2000 feet of good quality sandstone reservoir with logs of oil shows.
