EGYPT SIGNS AGREEMENTS TO INCREASE OIL & GAS PRODUCTION

Details Created: 29 July 2024

Egypt’s Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, Karim Badawi, has signed
agreements to boost oil and gas production with Shell Egypt and Cheiron Energy
to boost oil and gas production in the Mediterranean and Suez Gulf

The minister, Shell Egypt’s vice president and country chair Dalia El Gabry, and
Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC) chairman Alaa El Batal have signed
an agreement between EGPC, Shell and Malaysia’s Petronas to invest US$222mn in
the 10th phase of gas production in the West Delta Deep offshore area to boost
production. It will involve the drilling of three wells to produce natural gas
and establish marine facilities to bring the wells into production.

Before the signing, Badawi and El Gabry held a meeting where the Minister
stressed the government’s commitment to working with Shell, a key player in
Egypt’s energy sector, to increase gas production in the Mediterranean, while
El-Gabry confirmed Shell’s commitment to Egypt and its plans to invest in new
exploration and production projects.

The minister also met with a delegation from Cheiron Energy and signed a
US$120mn deal with the company and KUFPEC to boost oil production in the Suez
Gulf. The agreement includes drilling nine wells in the Geisum and Tawila West
area in the Suez Gulf, including three exploration wells. It is envisaged that
the investment will increase oil and gas production in the Gulf of Suez from

SAUDI ARABIA LEADS IN RECOVERABLE OIL RESERVES: RYSTAD ENERGY

Details Created: 29 July 2024

Saudi Arabia tops the list of countries with the most recoverable oil, with
247bn barrels, according to new research from Rystad Energy

Iraq also features in the list of the top five countries with most recoverable
oil, with 105bn barrels, coming in fifth place. The USA is second with 156bn
barrels, Russia third with 143bn barrels and Canada fourth with 122bn barrels.

However, global recoverable oil reserves could be insufficient to meet demand
unless there is a swifter transition to electric vehicles, according to Rystad
Energy’s latest research, which shows global recoverable oil reserves standing
at around 1,500 billion barrels, down around 52 billion barrels from its 2023
analysis.

The largest downward revisions are seen in Saudi Arabia, where development
priorities have shifted from offshore capacity expansions to onshore infill
drilling. The only country with any significant increase in 2024 is Argentina,
with a gain of 4bn barrels thanks to the derisking of shale projects in the Vaca
Muerta formation.

Rystad’s estimates of total recoverable oil resources have fallen by 700bn
barrels since 2019 due to reduced exploration activities. Exploration has fallen
as investors fear stranded assets due to the ongoing electrification of vehicles
and the expected decline in both oil demand and crude prices.

“The world’s remaining oil reserves are insufficient to support oil demand if
there is no transition to electric vehicles. Attempts to limit the supply of oil
will have hardly any effect on limiting global warming. Instead, the only
feasible way of keeping global temperatures rising less than 2.0 degrees Celsius
is to ensure fast electrification of road transportation,” says Per Magnus
Nysveen, head of Analysis at Rystad Energy.

Rystad Energy also reports proven oil reserves at 449bn barrels, which signifies
remaining oil reserves if no new development projects were to be approved and
all exploration activities were stopped. This is a significant upward revision
since 2023, driven by increased onshore infill drilling in Saudi Arabia.

HELMERICH & PAYNE SET FOR MIDDLE EAST EXPANSION WITH NEW ACQUISITION

Details Created: 26 July 2024

Drilling contractor Helmerich & Payne (H&P) is to acquire global drilling
company KCA Deutag, significantly boosting its Middle East presence

The acquisition will accelerate H&P’s international growth strategy, providing
immediate and significant exposure to land operations in key markets in the
Middle East, which generated around 70% of KCA Deutag’s calendar year 2023
operating EBITDA. Through the transaction, H&P will increase its Middle East rig
count from 12 to 88 rigs, 71 of which are in Saudi Arabia, Oman and Kuwait.
Based on award activity to date, the pro forma company would be one of the
larger rig providers in the Middle East.

With KCA Deutag, H&P will have a strong geographic and operational mix across
the U.S. and international crude oil and natural gas markets, and diversified
geographical exposure in earnings and cash flow streams.
The acquisition will also strengthen cash flow and durability, given that the
Middle East rig market is expected to grow in the coming years; generate
attractive returns; and provide an opportunity to realise synergies, the company
says.


ACCELERATING INTERNATIONAL EXPANSION

President and CEO of H&P, John Lindsay, commented, 'This is a historic and
transformative transaction for the company, and we are excited about what this
means for H&P’s future, as it accelerates our international expansion
particularly in the Middle East and enhances the company’s global leadership in
onshore drilling solutions. KCA Deutag’s assets and operations will add
resilient revenues, providing greater earnings visibility and cash flow
generation. As a result, we expect to generate sizeable incremental cash flows
and are confident this transaction will deliver near- and long-term growth and
value creation for H&P shareholders.

“Our experience in the industry combined with a Middle East market poised for
continued growth should be indicative of the importance and the compelling
reasons for executing on this acquisition at this time. Acquiring KCA Deutag
gives H&P immediate scale in core Middle East markets in a way that would be
challenging to replicate organically.”

CEO of KCA Deutag, Joseph Elkhoury, added, “We look forward to joining H&P,
combining the strengths of our people together with our geographical footprint,
to create an organisation with an unrivalled global network, service capability
and technology offering. The size, scale and financial strength of the combined
organisation will provide a stable foundation for long-term growth and
diversification to safeguard a sustainable and prosperous future for our

EIC REPORT HIGHLIGHTS SUPPLY CHAIN CHALLENGES

Details Created: 25 July 2024

The UK-based Energy Industries Council (EIC) has released its eighth annual
Survive and Thrive report, which finds that ongoing geographic and policy
uncertainties are posing challenges for the global energy supply chain

The report notes that only 7% of companies are venturing into new markets, high
costs and insufficient government support being major deterrents. Clear policies
and trade agreements are essential for making new market entries more feasible,
according to the views of supply chain businesses shared in the report. Another
obstacle is payment delays, which create severe cash flow issues, hindering
investment in new technologies and expansion efforts, the report finds.

Developing client-facing services and solutions has emerged as the most popular
growth strategy this year, with 82% of supply chain companies now working
directly with operators, increasingly sidestepping the traditional model of
contracting via tier 1 EPC contractors. This shift allows companies to forge
deeper relationships with end-user clients and increases the chances of having
their technology pre-specified.


SHIFT TO UNCERTAINTY

“2024 sees a shift from boom times to an environment filled with uncertainty, as
companies grapple with increased policy and geopolitical challenges,” Stuart
Broadley, CEO of the EIC, commented.

“While opportunities abound, the lack of clarity on financial incentives and
regulations makes navigating these waters increasingly complex. While activity
across the energy supply chain remains high, companies are facing significant
hurdles due to policy uncertainties.

“Government support, with fewer exclusions around oil and gas, is crucial for
companies to navigate new territories, many of which have important hydrocarbons
activities that are also in transition. Our members are asking for more
engagement from trade missions and embassies to provide necessary market access
and early clarity on new market challenges such as local content needs.”

“Clear and consistent policies, financial incentives, and an understanding of
the entire and largely integrated supply chain's needs are crucial. Policymakers
should de-silo energy policy, ensure an overarching target with contributions
from all stakeholders, and recognise the impact of increased taxes on operators.
Upgrading capabilities to meet net-zero demands, reassessing local content
regulations, and providing a clear roadmap for energy projects are essential
steps to support and nurture the energy supply chain.”

SLB RECORDS STRONG GROWTH IN MIDDLE EAST & ASIA

Details Created: 22 July 2024

SLB has recorded a strong performance in the Middle East & Asia in its second
quarter results, with year-on-year revenue from the region increasing by 24%,
compared with the 13% growth in total revenue

Revenue in the Middle East & Asia of US$3.27bn increased 6% sequentially due to
increased sales of production systems and increased intervention and evaluation
activity in Saudi Arabia. Higher digital revenue across the area and increased
drilling in Iraq, United Arab Emirates, China, and East Asia also contributed to
the sequential growth. The year on year 24% increase in revenue was due to
higher drilling, intervention, and evaluation activity as well as increased
sales of production systems in Saudi Arabia. Higher drilling in United Arab
Emirates, Egypt, East Asia, Indonesia, and China, as well as the acquired Aker
subsea business in Australia, also contributed to the year-on-year growth.

The company’s total revenue of US$9.14bn increased 5% sequentially and 13% year
on year, with digital & integration and reservoir performance divisions both
seeing 11% year-on-year growth, well construction 1% year-on-year growth, and
production systems 31% year-on-year growth.

SLB CEO Olivier Le Peuch commented, “We achieved solid second-quarter results,
with broad-based international revenue growth and margin expansion across all
divisions. Our Core business continued to build on its positive momentum and our
digital business accelerated, resulting in our highest quarterly international
revenue since 2014. These results demonstrate SLB’s strong position in key,
resilient markets, as we continue to benefit from elevated activity in the
Middle East & Asia, particularly in gas, and our clients’ increased investments
in deepwater basins, exploration, and digital.

“Sequentially, revenue grew 5%, led by the Middle East & Asia, which increased
6%. The increase in this area was driven by capacity expansions, gas development
projects, and production and recovery, with a majority of GeoUnits in the area
achieving record revenue. We also continued to benefit from our enhanced
offshore exposure, particularly in deepwater basins across Latin America, Europe
& Africa, and in the US Gulf of Mexico.”


MIDDLE EAST CONTRACTS

In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Saudi Aramco awarded SLB a long-term contract
for unconventional gas directional drilling services and drilling bits, in
support of Aramco’s strategic goal to increase gas production by more than 60%
by 2030, compared to 2021 levels. SLB will provide innovative fit-for-basin
technologies, services, and best-in-class practices developed in collaboration
with Aramco.

In Qatar, a customer awarded SLB a five-year contract for directional drilling,

will extend the deployment of the GeoSphere HD high-definition reservoir
mapping-while-drilling service and the GeoSphere 360 3D reservoir
mapping-while-drilling service for proactive steering, waterfront
identification, and acquisition of valuable information for subsurface
modelling.

In the decarbonisation space, SLB and Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC)
Onshore successfully deployed the EcoShield low-carbon geopolymer cement-free
system, paving the way to decarbonise cementing operations. This operation
achieved an estimated 85% reduction in CO2 emissions compared with conventional
conductor casing cement. ADNOC and SLB are looking to expand technology
application in surface casing jobs and beyond.

In Oman, ARA Petroleum Exploration and Production (ARA), part of the wider
Zubair Corporation, awarded SLB a five-year contract to enhance ARA's reservoir
engineering capabilities. Advanced wellbore imaging in the Techlog wellbore

EMBRACING THE DIGITAL REVOLUTION FOR GROWTH AND COMPETITIVENESS

Details Created: 18 July 2024

Ediz Eren, regional VP Middle East for Rockwell Automation, discusses how the
region is witnessing a remarkable shift towards digital transformation, driven
by ambitious visions for economic diversification and modernisation

In recent years, the Middle East has been experiencing a significant shift
towards digital transformation across various industries. Traditionally known
for its oil and gas sector dominance, the region is now diversifying its economy
and embracing technology-driven innovations to foster growth and competitiveness

A key driver of digital transformation in the Middle East is the region's vision
for economic diversification and modernisation. Governments across the region
have launched ambitious initiatives to foster innovation, entrepreneurship, and
technological advancement. These initiatives include investment in digital
infrastructure, development of smart cities, and promotion of emerging
technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and the Internet of
Things (IoT).

Like other global economies, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption
of digital technologies in the region, as organisations have had to adapt
rapidly to remote work, digital communication, and online services. This has led
to a greater appreciation for the benefits of digitalisation, including
increased efficiency, flexibility, and resilience. Organisations invest in cloud
computing, big data analytics, cybersecurity, and digital platforms to enhance
customer experiences, streamline operations, and drive innovation.

Saudi Arabia, for example, is aggressively advancing its manufacturing sector
through digitalisation, aiming to expand from 10,000 to 36,000 facilities by
2030 as part of its Vision 2030. Rockwell Automation, a key supporter, recently
launched its Digital Center of Excellence in Dammam, strengthening its
commitment to the Kingdom. The Center focuses on process industries such as oil
and gas, mining, and water, accelerating Saudi Arabia's digital transformation
and optimising maintenance operations.


IT IS NOT ALL ABOUT TECHNOLOGY


While Rockwell has a suite of solutions that cover the entire lifecycle of a
manufacturing facility, a successful digital transformation requires more than
that. A vital component often overlooked is the people involved in the facility,
who frequently feel threatened by adopting automation and data-driven processes.

As digitalisation, automation, and robotics increase in manufacturing companies,
workers express growing concerns about potential job displacement, loss of
autonomy, and the need for upskilling. One primary apprehension among workers is
the fear of job loss due to automation replacing traditional manual tasks. This
concern is compounded by the perception that machines are increasingly capable
of performing tasks previously carried out by humans. This shift can lead to
feelings of disengagement and decreased job satisfaction among workers.

The increasing reliance on digitalisation also raises concerns about the need
for continuous upskilling and reskilling. Many workers feel unequipped to
navigate the rapidly evolving technological landscape, leading to anxiety about
job security and future employability. Addressing these concerns requires
proactive measures from manufacturing companies, including investment in
training programmes, transparent communication about the role of technology in
the workplace, and efforts to involve workers in the digitalisation process to
mitigate fears and foster a culture of collaboration and adaptation.


THE IMPORTANCE OF EFFECTIVE CHANGE MANAGEMENT

Change management is pivotal in successfully implementing digital transformation
initiatives within manufacturing companies. Change management helps create
awareness and understanding among employees about the need for digital
transformation and its benefits to the organisation. Clear communication about
the transformation's goals, objectives, and expected outcomes helps to alleviate
uncertainty and build buy-in from employees at all levels.

It serves as a guiding framework for navigating the complexities of digital
transformation, ensuring that organisational goals are achieved and employees
are equipped to thrive in a rapidly evolving manufacturing landscape.

Some organisations look to pilot projects to provide a controlled environment to
test new technologies, processes, and strategies before implementing them on a
larger scale. These small-scale initiatives allow organisations to assess
feasibility, identify potential challenges, and refine their approach,
ultimately minimising risks and maximising the success of broader transformation
efforts. However, as, by definition, they are small, they have a limited role in
wider workforce acceptance.

Their prime benefit is their ability to demonstrate tangible value and ROI to
stakeholders within the organisation. By focusing on specific use cases or areas
of improvement, pilot projects can showcase the potential impact of digital
solutions on productivity, efficiency, quality, or cost savings. This empirical
evidence is essential for garnering support and securing buy-in from
decision-makers and frontline employees.

The region is witnessing a remarkable shift towards digital transformation,
driven by ambitious visions for economic diversification and modernisation.
Governments are spearheading initiatives to foster innovation and technological
advancement. Overall, digital transformation presents challenges and
opportunities for the Middle East, highlighting the importance of proactive
strategies and strong partners to address workforce concerns and maximise the
benefits of technological innovation.

ADNOC DRILLING SEES STEADY REVENUE INCREASE IN 2024

Details 05 August 2024 Created: 05 August 2024

Driven by operational expansion across all business segments, ADNOC Drilling’s
second quarter and first half 2024 revenue increased to US$935mn, surpassing
US$1.8bn, up year-on-year by 29% and 26% respectively

There was a steady revenue increase in both onshore and offshore operations, and
in oilfield services as well. 

“ADNOC Drilling has continued to deliver on its strategic initiatives and has
successfully closed the first half of the year on a strong note, achieving
multiple milestones.

“The Company’s performance for the period is a continued reflection of our
unwavering commitment to operational excellence and efficiency in every aspect
of our business. Our achievements for the period are a testament to the
relentless dedication of our people, whose efforts are central to delivering
outstanding service to our customers and maximising value for our
shareholders,”said Abdulrahman Abdulla Al Seiari, CEO, ADNOC Drilling.

The strong top-line translated into record EBITDA both in the quarter and the
first half. Second quarter EBITDA increased by 37% year-on-year and 8%
sequentially to US$472mn, yielding a 50% EBITDA margin. Consistency in revenue
growth and cost-cutting strategies led to US$909mn EBITDA in the first half of
the year, up 34% year-on-year and with a margin increase to 50%.

Net profit for the quarter also grew, up 29% year-on-year and 7% sequentially to
US$295mn, driven by the increase in EBITDA, while for the first half the figure
stood at US$570mn, up 28% year-on-year.

At the end of the second quarter, the fleet consisted of 140 rigs (136 owned
plus four lease-to-own land rigs), up from 137 at the end of the first quarter
due to the addition of three land rigs.

Encouraged by the positive results, the Board of Directors has approved an
interim dividend of US$394mn, +10% year-on-year under new enhanced and
progressive dividend policy, equivalent to 9.0468 fils per share.

The interim dividend distribution is expected to be in the last week of August
2024, to all shareholders of record as of August 12, 2024.

BIG OPPORTUNITIES FROM PIPELINE DEVELOPMENT

Details 09 August 2024 Created: 09 August 2024

Expanding pipeline networks in the Middle East are offering fertile
opportunities for contractors and technology providers

Data from Global Energy Monitor’s Global Oil Infrastructure Tracker shows the
Middle East leading the continuing global expansion of crude oil transmission
pipelines, as countries maintain and expanding their production and export
facilities. Around 7,073 km of crude oil pipelines are under development
(proposed and under construction) in the region, at an estimated capex of
US$49.7bn, with Iraq and Iran topping the list.

Data in the Global Gas Infrastructure Tracker shows that 8,169 km of gas
pipelines are under development in the Middle East at a cost of US$67.9bn, with
Iran and Saudi Arabia leading the ranking. In Iran, new pipelines will help to
meet high domestic demand from its industrial petrochemicals and residential
sectors, while in Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states gas pipelines will support
a shift to gas as a result of energy transition strategies and plans to develop
global gas businesses.


GAS PIPELINE NETWORKS

Saudi Arabia’s Jafurah unconventional gas development for example involves a
network of around 1,500 km of main transfer pipelines, flowlines and gas
gathering pipelines; while contracts have recently been awarded for the Phase 3
expansion of the Master Gas System, which involves the installation of around
4,000 km pipelines. Sinopec and L&T Energy Hydrocarbon (LTEH) are among the
beneficiaries, with the LTEH contract reported to be the largest cross-country
pipeline EPC project awarded to the company to date.

In the UAE, ADNOC Gas awarded contracts to expand the natural gas pipeline
network in 2023, and recently awarded contracts to NMDC Energy P.J. S.C and
Galfar Engineering Contracting W.L.L. Emirates for the next phase of the
ESTIDAMA project, which will extend the UAE’s natural gas pipeline network
operated by ADNOC Gas from approximately 3,200 km to more than 3,500 km,
enabling the transportation of higher volumes of natural gas to customers in the
Northern Emirates.

HONEYWELL LAUNCHES NEW OLEFIN PRODUCTION PROCESS

Details 09 May 2024 Created: 09 May 2024

Honeywell has launched a new process to improve the efficiency and
sustainability of light olefin production

The naphtha to ethane and propane (NEP) technology generates a tunable amount of
ethane and propane from naphtha and/or LPG feedstocks, generating more
high-value ethylene and propylene with reduced production of lower-value
by-products compared to a traditional mixed-feed steam cracking unit and
resulting in net cash margin increases. An NEP-based olefins complex also
reduces CO2 intensity per metric ton of light olefins produced by 5 to 50%
versus a traditional mixed-feed steam cracker.


MORE EFFICIENT PRODUCTION

“The petrochemical industry faces strong competition and challenges in obtaining
raw materials globally,” said Matt Spalding, vice president and general manager
of Honeywell Energy and Sustainability Solutions in MENA. “Our technology helps
to enable more efficient production of ethylene and propylene, two chemicals
which are in high demand, while also helping our customers lower their carbon
emissions.”

The new solution is a part of Honeywell’s Integrated Olefin Suite technology
portfolio to enhance the production of light olefins.

The programme will optimise asset lifecycle, enhance machinery performance and
improve overall reliability. (Image source: Adobe Stock)

and production management technologies are integrated at the remote control
centre for optimised real-time decision-making. This has enabled the accelerated
growth in field capacity with reduced costs and emissions. The field’s
digitalisation will enable the deployment of additional AI solutions to further
enhance and optimise operations. AIQ solutions DrillRep and OptiDrill process
data from rigs and wells at the field, enhancing drilling efficiency and
optimisation. By utilising daily drilling data reports and rig sensor data,
AIQ’s technology supports drilling operations with the necessary insights and
actions to optimise the drilling process.

Abdulmunim Saif Al Kindy, ADNOC Upstream executive director, said, “AI and
digitalisation are at the heart of ADNOC’s smart growth strategy to help
responsibly meet the world’s growing energy demand. By deploying
industry-leading technologies at SARB field, we have increased production
capacity while enhancing the safety, sustainability and efficiency of our
operations, strengthening ADNOC’s position as one of the world’s lowest-cost and
least carbon intensive energy producers.”

TRELLEBORG LAUNCHES HYDROGEN SEALING SOLUTIONS

Details 07 August 2024 Created: 07 August 2024

Trelleborg Sealing Solutions has launched the full H2Pro range of more than 20
sealing compounds for every application of the hydrogen value chain, from
production to transport and storage and end-use

Proven to withstand challenging application environments, the materials are
suitable for high pressures, low temperatures, and resist permeation, making
them better able to withstand rapid gas decompression (RGD), while also
demonstrating excellent wear and extrusion properties.

James Simpson, global segment director energy, said, “As the smallest and
lightest molecule, hydrogen has the potential to drive the energy transition,
but it is difficult and complex to seal.

“The lack of relevant industry standards to validate our materials against was a
major challenge when developing the H2Pro range. Some in the nascent hydrogen
industry rely on standards used typically for high-pressure gasses in the oil
and gas sector, but these are often unsuitable for replicating real-world
hydrogen application conditions.

“Trelleborg has developed proprietary testing protocols that replicate
real-world hydrogen applications, providing customers with confidence in
products to make the energy transition reliable, efficient and economic.”

Trelleborg's proprietary test standards cover hydrogen permeation, endurance
validation and hydrogen compatibility, including the ability to withstand rapid
gas compression (RGD). Occurring when hydrogen permeates into a seal under
pressure, RGD can cause seals to blister and crack when pressure is rapidly
relieved.
