Gulf of Mexico Oil
"This
area has totally rebounded from the Macondo disaster and companies are
marching full speed ahead," commented Ernst & Young Strategic
Analyst for Oil & Gas Foster Mellen to Rigzone. "The GOM will always
be an important play due to the sheer volume of resources that it
holds."
Several fields are slated to come online in the near future further
increasing production levels to new heights in 2014 with an average
output of 1.45 million barrels per day expected by this time next year.
Alaska converting its gas into LNG
ExxonMobil
Corp., ConocoPhillips, BP and TransCanada Corp. have joined forces to
commercialize the North Slope gas. This project, Alaska LNG, has aligned
a structure and transparent approach with the aim to commercialize
North Slope's natural gas.
"Alaska
is getting very busy and is quite an exciting area right now, so much
so that we are looking into opening an office in that area next year,"
Dane Groeneveld, regional director of North America at NES Global
Talent, told Rigzone. "This area will be in need of manpower as the
project comes further along."
"From a conventional oil perspective, Alaska is in a terminal decline,"
added Mellen. "However, Alaska has a lot of gas and this project is
worthwhile. It makes a lot of economic sense to export it."
America exports LNG
Cheniere
Energy Inc.'s Sabine Pass LNG project, the first liquefied natural gas
project in North America given the OK to export, is slated to begin
producing in late 2015. The project is on schedule with its first two
processing units, the company announced in May 2013.
Cheniere also made a final investment decision for the development and
construction of Trains 3 and 4 of the Sabine Pass Liquefaction project.
