As the NGUYA FLNG Project Sail Away Ceremony and 30M Manhours LTI Free Celebration ensued, Chinese enterprise, Wison New Energies, flaunted its high-tech integration services for Eni's Congo LNG Project

A core production facility for the project, Winson has equipped the NGUYA FLNG with CHART’s IPSMR liquefaction technology and SPB tank for exceptional liquefaction efficiency and reliable cargo storage system performance. Additionally, the facility integrates low-carbon features dual-fuel GTGs engines and waste heat recovery units (WHRU), which help reduce carbon emissions without compromising operational efficiency.

The ceremony was attended by Bruno Jean Richard Itoua, Minister of Hydrocarbons of the Republic of Congo; Stefano Maione, director of Natural Resources Development, Operations and Energy Efficiency of Eni; Hua Bangsong, founder of Wison Group; Liu Hongjun, chairman of Wison New Energies, and Cheng Yuanyun, CEO of Wison New Energies.

Measuring 376 meters in length, 60 meters in breadth, and 35 meters in depth, NGUYA FLNG has storage capacity for 180,000 cubic meters of LNG and 45,000 cubic meters of LPG. With a liquefaction capacity of 2.4 million tons per annum (MTPA), the facility will be deployed offshore near Pointe-Noire, Republic of Congo.

“Delivering the NGUYA FLNG within 33 months - from contract award to sail away - and achieving 30 million manhours LTI-free reflects Wison New Energies’ full-cycle EPCIC capabilities and efficiency,” said Wei Huaqing, vice president of Wison New Energies and project director of NGUYA FLNG. “It demonstrates our strengths in standardized design, international QHSE management, and the integrated competitiveness of China’s manufacturing and supply chain. Through our unique EPCIC one-stop service, we minimised interface across the project execution period, forged seamless collaboration with Eni project team, and ultimately delivered one month ahead of contract schedule—setting a new benchmark for international energy projects.”

Operators can rely on SK Well Pages.

Oilfield intelligence sees a new upgrade as Halliburton Company has announced the next generation Summit Knowledge digital ecosystem

SK Well Pages features an all-in-one electric submersible pump (ESP) workspace, which operators can rely on to meet production optimisation goals.

The offering draws on deep ESP experience and advanced data science techniques to advance data visibility with customisable and intuitive dashboards for proactive monitoring of real-time pump performance, surface sensors, and production data. The SK digital ecosystem integrates and powers advanced tools such as SpyGlass pump sizing software and the Intelevate® platform for remote monitoring and control. Predictive models, intelligent alerts, and trend analyses help minimize downtime and increase production.

"We provide customers with advanced digital tools that give them clarity and control to make confident decisions. The Summit Knowledge digital ecosystem with SK Well Pages is a powerful step forward in the journey of how we deliver digital innovation for superior ESP optimisation," said Greg Schneider, vice president, artificial lift, Halliburton. 

The analysis will support safe and efficient well operations.

Aquaterra Energy has been awarded a two-year contract extension for its offshore analysis services for a major Egyptian operator

This extension comes following the original contract award in 2023, by which the company has delivered detailed riser and subsea well/conductor analysis services in support of operations on seven separate well locations to date.

Over the past two years, bespoke offshore analysis has been provided to validate the performance of new producing subsea wells, drilled from a semi-submersible rig. its services included managing conductor strength requirements during a vessel drift/drive off scenario. The analyses have driven optimisations to casing grade and joint space-outs, whilst collaborating with rig and risk assessment teams to better define and comply with operating guidelines. These critical services ensure that the client’s assets meet operational requirements for their full lifetimes, whilst complying with challenging technical standards and guidelines.

Martin Harrop, offshore analysis manager at Aquaterra Energy, said, “This extension marks an important continuation of our relationship with one of the region’s key operators. Working together over the past two years, we’ve delivered targeted analysis to support safe and efficient well operations in a technically complex environment. We’re looking forward to building on this collaboration and continuing to provide high-integrity, practical analysis that supports operational success offshore Egypt.”

The engineering, procurement, installation and commissioning work for Phase XI Deepwater Project of the West Delta Deep Marine (WDDM) concession has been vested on Petroleum Marine Services (PMS) by independent engineering consultancy Longitude Engineering

Longitude’s engineering scope comprises the detailed design of deep-water rigid jumpers, development of fabrication drawings, onshore and offshore handling procedures, offshore installation engineering, process and stress modelling, and key HSE studies and engineering workshops.

The Phase XI development of the Burullus gas field involves the tie-in of three subsea twin deep-water natural gas wells. The scope of work includes engineering, procurement, fabrication, installation, and commissioning support five subsea M-shape rigid jumpers, equipped with deep-water specialised connectors, multiphase gas meters, and sand detection systems.

Compact twin-well configurations will be installed, each with a subsea jumper span limited to approximately 25 meters in length. This will be placed in a brownfield environment adjacent to an existing live natural gas deep-water system, part of one of the largest deep-water natural gas networks globally.

A tie-in structure, namely “Tie-In Spool Base, TSB” designed to accommodate multiple jumpers within a single subsea module will offer enhanced production flexibility and enabling well allocation interchangeability.

Subsea control system components to support well operation and chemical injection. 

Located approximately 90 kilometres offshore Egypt, in the north-western Nile Delta region of the Mediterranean Sea, the WDDM concession is operated by Shell through its joint venture, Burullus Gas Company. The area includes 17 gas fields at water depths ranging from 300 to 1,200 meters.

“We are delighted to secure this contract following the success of our previous work on Phase X. The West Delta Deep Marine development is of major significance to Egypt’s oil and gas sector, and we remain committed to delivering the highest quality of service to PMS and, ultimately, to the operator,” said Daniel McGowan, Offshore Project Director at Longitude Engineering.

Longitude Engineering provides specialised engineering, design, and analysis consultancy services across various markets, including renewables, maritime, oil and gas, and infrastructure. The company’s expertise spans concept selection, Pre-FEED and FEED studies, marine operations engineering, and vessel design.
