Sevan Driller鉆井平臺獲Shell租約
近日,殼牌石油公司和Seadrill公司簽訂租賃合同,將租用后者的Sevan Driller圓柱形半潛式鉆井平臺在Parque das Conchas項目中對六個水下泵送模塊(Mobos)進行維修,租期60天,可續租同樣的時間。
在此之前,巴油以411,000美元的日費率和Seadrill公司簽訂了Sevan Driller鉆井平臺六年的租賃合同,租期本應至2016年6月截止。然而,負債累累的巴油為了削減開支,于去年十二月份提前終止了該租約。在目前巴油大規模削減鉆井船隊規模的形勢下,在巴西作業的鉆井商不得不更多的從國際石油公司手中爭取租約。
Seadrill and Anglo-Dutch supermajor agree charter contract for workover campaign at Parque das Conchas
Anglo-Dutch supermajor Shell has agreed a deal to charter the Seadrill cylindrical semi-submersible drilling rig Sevan Driller for use off Brazil, just months after its long-term contract with Petrobras was abruptly suspended.One well-informed source told Upstream that Shell will take the Sevan Driller for up to four months to carry out a workover programme at the Parque das Conchas heavy oil complex in the Campos basin.The charter agreement calls for a firm period of 60 days, renew-able for two additional periods of 30 days each, in which Shell will use the semisub to repair up to six subsea boosting modules (Mobos) in Parque das Conchas to try to increase the oil productivity per well.Shell invited drilling contractors last year to submit bids for the Parque das Conchas job, requesting a rig to be available in July 2016.However, it appears that the Parque das Conchas campaign will begin a few months earlier, likely in May, after it was disclosed that Petrobras suspended last December the charter of the Sevan Driller as part of its efforts to reduce costs in response to the extremely challenging oil market.“It looks like Shell took the opportunity of the Sevan Driller being available and ready stacked to sign a charter and bring forward the programme by a couple of months,” said one source.Both Shell and Seadrill have been tight-lipped about the contract, with financial terms kept under wraps.However, Shell confirmed to Upstream it is set to use the Sevan Driller.Before its contract was suspended, the Sevan Driller was chartered to Petrobras for a six-year period, running to June 2016, for a dayrate of $411,000.It is understood that Shell will use the rig to carry out maintenance at Mobo systems in some of the four fields that comprise phases one and two at the Parque das Conchas complex, including Ostra, Abalone, Argonauta B-West and Argonauta O-North.Each Mobo system is responsible for boosting oil production and separating oil and natural gas, so that only oil passes through the electrical submersible pump located in the seabed.Meanwhile, Shell this week began production from the third phase of the Parque das Conchas deep-water development.The latest phase of the project is expected to add up to 20,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day at peak production from the Massa and Argonauta O-South fields.Phase three comprises five oil producing wells and two water injection wells linked to the turret-moored Espirito Santo floating production, storage and offloading vessel, lying in 1780 metres of water.Parque das Conchas is currently producing close to 50,000 bpd from all three phases, with the majority of the oil still coming from the Argonauta O-North field.Shell operates Parque das Conchas with a 50% stake and is partnered by India’s ONGC Videsh on 27% and Qatar Petroleum Inter-national on 23%.
Sete Brasil徘徊在破產邊緣
3月11日,巴西鉆井平臺總包商Sete Brasil舉行股東大會商議破產保護事宜,但該提案再次遭到了Petros基金和Previ基金的否決。Sete Brasil公司股東計劃于3月28日再次舉行會晤。
巴油于上月提議將Sete Brasil原先的28個鉆井平臺項目保留10個,租期縮減為5年,可續租5年。此外,巴油還向Sete Brasil施壓,要求將平臺日費率降至目前的國際市場價格。巴油這一提議動搖了Sete Brasil公司的盈利根基,使公司重組的希望變得更加渺茫。
Após a tentativa da última sexta-feira, os sócios da Sete Brasil – empresa criada para construir sondas de perfura??o de petróleo para a Petrobras – tentar?o, mais uma vez, no próximo dia 28, aprovar a recupera??o judicial da empresa. Em assembleia geral na última sexta-feira, no Rio, os fundos de pens?o Petros e Previ rejeitaram a proposta de pedir a recupera??o feita por outros credores, como bancos privados. A alternativa judicial voltou à mesa após a dire??o da Sete rejeitar as condi??es propostas pela Petrobras para a contrata??o das sondas.Em nota, a Sete Brasil informou que os sócios presentes na assembleia agendaram um novo encontro no dia 28. Até lá, dará “prosseguimento nas tratativas com a Petrobras, na tentativa de estabelecer condi??es comerciais que viabilizem o plano de reestrutura??o da empresa”.Fontes próximas às negocia??es, entretanto, avaliam que há impasse nas negocia??es com a petroleira – sócia e cliente da Sete Brasil, com uma encomenda original de 28 sondas. Em fevereiro, a Petrobras sugeriu reduzir o contrato a dez sondas, além de rever o valor do aluguel diário e o tempo do contrato, o que restringiria a viabilidade econ?mica da Sete Brasil.A proposta n?o agradou, e a diretoria da Sete Brasil sequer participa das negocia??es atuais – apenas os bancos credores tocam as iniciativas, mas sem esperan?as de um acordo. A expectativa é que a petroleira postergue a decis?o para n?o assumir o ?nus político do calote de R$ 14 bilh?es da empresa criada em 2010 para atender à demanda de sondas de perfura??o da estatal.Em janeiro, o pedido de recupera??o judicial havia sido rejeitado pela Petros, fundo de pens?o dos funcionários da Petrobras. Agora, na última sexta-feira, a Previ, fundo de pens?o dos trabalhadores do Banco do Brasil, rejeitou a proposta A Sete deve cerca de US$ 1,2 bilh?o ao banco. Apenas a Funcef, fundo de pens?o da Caixa, foi favorável ao plano.Segundo fontes, o próprio BB teria assumido as negocia??es com a Petrobras, comandada por Aldemir Bendine, ex-presidente do banco, e Ivan Monteiro, ex-diretor financeiro. O entendimento é que as negocia??es podem provocar a “morte por inani??o” da Sete Brasil.
Odebrecht因貪腐被判處巨額罰款
據路透社報道,巴西檢察機關于3月12日指控巴西Odebrecht集團為贏得工程項目向巴油支付數十億美元的賄賂,并要求其支付73億雷亞爾的巨額罰款。
檢察機關在一份聲明中稱,有確鑿證據證明Odebrecht集團通過行賄非法贏得了Rnest, Rpar和Comperj煉油廠,以及Gasduc輸氣管線等項目。
3月8日,Odebrecht集團的總經理Marcelo Bahia Odebrecht因腐敗和洗錢罪被判處19年監禁。Marcelo于去年7月被捕,隨后于12月正式辭去了在Odebrecht Oil & Gas, Braskem, Odebrecht Property & Real Estate, 以及Odebrecht Environmental公司的總經理職務。
受腐敗丑聞的影響,Odebrecht集團的融資渠道已經被切斷,目前集團公司正在極力減輕債務負擔。
Brazilian prosecutors late on Saturday accused executives from construction conglomerate Odebrecht and state-run oil company Petrobras of misconduct and demanded they pay 7.3 billion reais ($2 billion) in damages.Prosecutors accused Odebrecht of paying bribes to win multi-billion dollar contracts with Petrobras as part of a massive corruption scheme that implicated dozens of politicians and top executives, Reuters reported.Odebrecht is currently under investigation for its involvement in the graft and influence-peddling scandal at Petrobras known as “Operation Car Wash.” Family member Marcelo Bahia Odebrecht, who ran the company since 2008 until recent months, was sentenced on Tuesday to about 19 years in prison in connection with the scandal.In a written statement, the prosecutors of the task force investigating the scheme said they have evidence that Odebrecht paid bribes to win contracts at the oil refineries Getulio Vargas and Abreu e Lima as well in a Rio de Janeiro petrochemical plant and the Gasduc gas pipeline.Odebrecht’s press office did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Reuters.The scandal has undercut Odebrecht’s access to financing, and the group – which has more than a dozen business units – is currently seeking to ease a swelling debt burden.
