Wärtsilä gas conversion ‘accelerate’s Senegal’s move to cleaner energy’

13/04/2021 by Dale Granger

Technology group Wärtsilä is converting the 90 MW Bel-Air power plant in Dakar, Senegal to operate on liquefied natural gas (LNG).

The plant, which is owned by Senelec, Senegal’s public utility company, currently operates on heavy fuel oil and Wartsilia said the conversion will future-proof the facility as Senegal’s long-term strategy is to lower the carbon footprint of energy production by switching to gas when domestic supply is available. This project is part of an interim...

PGS awarded extended Long Offset Contract

06/04/2021 by Dale Granger

PGS has been awarded a high-fidelity 3D exploration program by a supermajor offshore Egypt.

The survey will be acquired using an Extended Long Offset (ELO) configuration with Ramform Tethys towing a wide multi-sensor GeoStreamer spread with an additional source vessel located several kilometers ahead.

CGG said that this would enable efficient recording of offsets up to 16km, which is critical for imaging deeper complex exploration targets. The source vessel will be towing a specially...

Lukoil says “nyet” to FAR takeover

06/04/2021 by Dale Granger

Lukoil has abandoned takeover plans for Australia’s FAR Limited and thus exited its ambitions to participate in the Woodside-operated Sangomar project offshore Senegal.

The Russian company had offered FAR 2.2c per share in February after it had failed to become a participant in the RSSD project via the acquisition of Cairn Energy’s stake in the discovery -- which was scuppered by Woodside’s entry into the development.

FAR had sounded a note of caution over Lukoil’s proposal,...
