True Story.
You can always count on UMW to honour its
commitment to its customers.
Kok Chong Mun (pictured here), General Manager
of UMWs Oil & Gas Division, took customer
service to a whole new level.
A customer in need of important machinery parts,
required an urgent delivery. When transport
arrangements could not be made in time, Chong
Mun knew how serious the situation could be and
set out on a journey which would eventually cover
some 3,000km.

Combining the proven Casing Annulus Packer (CAP) and Port Collar (PC)
into a single device and including gas-tight metal-to-metal seals allows
the use of the TAM HATCH Packer (patent pending) for stage cementing
of premium-threaded production casing. This design eliminates any port
between the casing bore and the annulus, traditionally seen with standard
inflatable packers.
TAM HATCH Packers are ideal in applications where shallow water
flow, shallow gas and resultant sustained casing pressure have been
encountered. The HATCH Packer eliminates the need for intermediate
surface casing, providing substantial cost savings per well.

seismic
Major players in the marine seismic market are playing it cool, but there
must be some apprehension about the impact of recent moves by the
Chinese contractor BGP. Andrew McBarnet reviews the plot so far.
17
seismic
A long engagement?
The idea that BGP might one day bid for
ION is of course complete speculation. In
the event of a bid for ownership, BGPs
Chinese credentials might become an
issue. In common with its competitors,
IONs streamers contain elements of
technology which have potential military
application in the submarine warfare
field. This could be a stumbling block for
US regulators. It is also the case that BGP
has no experience of managing a major
western technology company, and could
be wary about taking on the significant
language, cultural and management style
barriers likely to arise. The land seismic
joint venture may turn out to be just as
a getting to know you period or dating
before any mention of the marriage word.
Yet, ION appears to be somewhat
vulnerable to predators or a break-up.
The joint venture highlights cracks in
the companys faade revealing a number
of business units which are not fully
18
seismic
Future family
One would expect that BGP will be
equally circumspect with the growth
of its seismic marine services. There is
little doubt that it is preparing for bigger
things. Last year the company opened
an international marine office and
more recently announced initiatives to
train foreign nationals in China and in
Houston. In order to build the integrated
global geophysical services company BGP
is explicitly aiming for, land and marine
seismic data acquisition capability is
not enough. A huge reservoir geophysics
research centre opened a few months
ago appearing to confirm the companys
realisation that it has to have the all
round technology to compete.
Another symptomatic development was
last months strategic partnership agreed
between BGP and UK-based Offshore
Hydrocarbons Mapping (OHM) for
carrying out marine controlled source
electromagnetic (CSEM) survey design,
acquisition and processing services. OHM
was awarded a $2.5 million CSEM data
contract offshore Equatorial Guinea,
scheduled to start late November.
This first foray into marine CSEM
technology follows in the footsteps of the
tentative moves made by all the leading
contractors. BGP, it seems, wants to have
the full panoply of geophysical service
offerings and stay abreast of marine
CSEM as it evolves.
There is no suggestion at this stage
that BGP wants to invest in OHM which
already has CGGVeritas as a minority
shareholder. It is more a case of giving
OHM first refusal on jobs it comes across
and working together to find the best
solution. Fugro and Norwegian company
Electromagnetic GeoServices (EMGS)
have a somewhat similar cooperative
arrangement.

Abstract
Collaboration among diverse E&P team
members is now more important than ever
as China strives to fulfill its urgent energy
demands and keep pace with the countrys
huge economic growth. PetroChina worked
with Schlumberger to design and build a
state-of-the-art iCenter secure networked
collaborative environment that supports
the sophisticated visualization and decision
support needs for technical asset meetings.
The fully equipped, centralized space
was custom designed not only to enhance
multi-discipline team performance, but to
also effectively accomplish strategic goals
that require well-informed, quick decision
making to add reserves and increase
production. Enabling real-time data
sharing between office and remote rig sites
was another key element of this projects
ambitious goals.

facilities typically focus on well planning
and reservoir modeling activities, serving
a dual purpose: they can be used for

which supplied a wide array of essential
components for the iCenter environment
from high-resolution monitors to
wireless receivers, network systems,
servers and racks.
The equipment layout and network
design consisted of:
z hardware: a Barco 2-channel stereo
projection system, HP workstations, HP
high-compute clusters, storage,
an audiovisual system and a control
system; and
z workflow software: 8-CPU system
running GigaViz, GeoFrame and Petrel
2007 software with a real-time link to rigs.
The iCenter facility was opened at
Jidong oilfield in time to assist with and
improve the monitoring and placement of
a horizontal wellbore in the Nanpu block,
keeping it in the reservoir to maximize
well productivity. In addition to
improved well planning, risk assessment
capabilities were enhanced via iterative
geologic modeling and visualization,
supporting real-time monitoring and
modeling-while-drilling to optimize
drilling operations.

Deepwater by design
Ensco spent the better part of 2004 contemplating how best to invest revenues it
anticipated landing on the books between 2006 and 2008. After considering
many options, the board voted to pursue the deepwater in a meaningful way.
Jennifer Pallanich reports on how the Dallas-based drillers plans are starting to pay off.
ENSCO 8500, the first rig in the companys $3 billion ultra-deepwater expansion
program, is now drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.
the better part of a year, he adds. We got
to the end of that process and convinced
ourselves that the best thing to do for
our shareholders and customers was to
continue to invest in our core business . . .
the business that weve been investing in,
which is the offshore drilling business,
he says.
When you decide your world is limited
to being an offshore drilling company,
you have to focus on what you can do in
that space. The board decided to pursue
meaningful deepwater activity despite
the sectors cycles. A lot of things had
changed over the last 10, 15 years that
made that a very attractive market for
us, Swent adds.
With marching orders to focus on the
deepwater market, Enscos executives
formed a strategy that revolved around
providing clients with access to a total
of eight ultra-deepwater rigs including
the existing ENSCO 7500 for a day rate
that will keep shareholders happy and
rig technology
A drillers rig
Following the classic marketing
scenarios, Ensco asked its customers
what they wanted to see in a newbuild
for drilling in ultra-deepwater. Totaling
it all up resulted in a $650 million rig,
Swent says. But what was the customer
willing to pay? You have a customer
who wants a $650 million asset and wants
to pay $250,000/day for it. On a rate of
return basis, that makes no sense for
shareholders, Swent says. It was time
to carry out a cost-benefit analysis on
every element on the rig, along with
interviewing customers about the various
features. Swent says the answer was
often: I want that if I dont have to pay for
it, but if I have to pay for it, I could live
without it.
One of the first features to wind up on
the cutting room floor was self-propulsion
for long moves. This reduced our head
count by 16 people, Lowe notes. While the
rig can make in-field moves up to 24 hours
on its own, larger moves require a tow
assist, he adds. The decision to opt out of
self-propulsion was based on the reality
that many rigs arrive in an area and work
there for quite a while, Lowe says.
Further, the semis are not designed
to handle harsh environments. Its

Prides
ides new senior vice president
operations, asset management and
engineering, the company has made great
strides in becoming an offshore drilling
company with a primary emphasis on
deepwater. The strategy, Toufeeq says,
was to spin-off the mat-supported jackups
and move toward becoming a floater
drilling company with an emphasis on
the deepwater. To that end, Pride has
four ultra-deepwater sixth-generation
drillships nearing completion in the
Samsung Shipyard in South Korea.
We have moved from a company
that had almost any conceivable rig
type you could think
of . . . everything that
you have heard of, we
had it in our fleet, says
Toufeeq (pictured), who
joined Pride in 2004 as
engineering vice president.
On 1 April 2004, a snapshot of the
companys fleet showed: two drillships,
13 semis, 35 jackups of which 23 were matsupported jackups, five tender-assisted
rigs, three barge rigs, 22 platform rigs and
253 land rigs. A series of asset sales dots
the timeline between then and now.
The August spin-off of Seahawk with its
mat-supported jackups was intended to
allow Pride management to focus on the
deepwater business and allow Seahawks
management to base its strategy on
consolidation of low-spec Gulf of Mexico
jackups. With the spin-off complete,
Randall Stilley heads up Seahawk and its
fleet of 20 jackups; he was appointed CEO
of Prides mat-supported jackup business
last year.
Prides focus on deepwater reflects
the companys view that it is the most
resilient sector of the contract drilling
market. Additionally, the sector has
seen high utilization rates with average
contract lengths of four years.
Following the spin-off and asset sales
over the last handful of years, Prides

Bug.
Smart thinking
In partnership with Meta Vision Systems,
CRC-Evans came up with CiRCVision, a
robust new vision system well adapted to
the needs of the general pipeline industry
while still being very affordable. This has
been achieved by exploiting the latest
developments in electronics to put the
image processing electronics inside the
laser sensor head itself, thereby creating
a Smart Laser Sensor.
The design consists of a robust CMOS
Megapixel camera with very large scale
integration devices, including a large
FPGA and a powerful DSP. The vision
system has a field of view of 50mm,
horizontal pixel resolution of 0.05mm and
vertical pixel resolution of 0.07mm. The
self-contained package has no moving
parts and can acquire and process
30 full 1280x1024 frames per second.
The sensor itself is fully digital and
designed for easy integration within
digital control and communication
systems, with both high-speed Ethernet
and CAN bus interfaces. These external
links provide the digital-to-digital
interface to the CRC welding system
Applications
Weld joint tracking. The nature of
narrow gap welding in pipelines makes
it impossible to have precise alignment
around the joint circumference due
to variations in joint fit up as a result
of tolerances in pipe diameter and
ovality. This leads to local changes in
joint geometry and position. The Smart
Laser Sensor measures these changes
in real time during welding. Tracking
data is sent via high speed digital
communication to the precise motion
control system built on to the CRC Evans
external welding system. This closed
loop control ensures that the welding
electrodes are always where they should
be to achieve good results.
The exact nature of the tracking
algorithms varies with the type of weld
pass. For example, during root welds,
the laser vision system provides for
a very accurate tracking without the
need to oscillate that is a requirement of
through-the-arc tracking. This results
in more accurate bead placement and
better penetration. Experimental studies
have shown that the high resolution of
the laser sensor makes it possible to use
laser tracking for all stages of the welding
process, including cap pass.

The smart sensor is now in the final
production prototype stage with field

Although orders for newbuild drilling rigs and floating production vessels
placed with shipyards in Asia have markedly declined, some yards
are allocating substantial resources for more facilities. John Mueller
updates his files on the latest Asia-Pacific ship and rig building activities.
s shipyards continue
to be busy fulfilling
past orders, some
have demonstrated continued
optimism in the future of the
industry by making large
financial commitments to
increasing capacity. These
investments range from
Sembcorp Marine creating a
major new yard in Singapore
and taking a significant stake
in the development of an
offshore support base in India
to Yantai Raffles purchase of a
yard in China with the aim of
becoming a principal producer
of jackup drilling rigs.

simulator
Gassonic lays claim to having
developed the worlds first
gas leak simulation tool for
ultrasonic gas detection.
According to its developers,
the new simulator, which
can be accessed in a trial
version on the companys

simulator, makes it possible
to experience the advantages
of implementing ultrasonic
detectors for quick, highpressure gas leak detection
in challenging offshore
conditions.
The system responds to the
distinctive ultrasound created
by the leak. Gassonic, part of
the General Monitors group,
says its detectors pick up gas
leaks at the speed of sound
without having to wait for
the gas to accumulate and
physically enter a point sensor
head (conventional point
detector) or within a narrow
beam (open path gas detector).
The acoustic detection method
is thereby unaffected by
unknown factors such as wind
conditions, gas dilution, and
leak direction.
