Dynamic positioning of rig in both drilling operations – no issues Transocean Barents drilled both prospects. Good control on backup equipment. Cooperation Positive and active experience sharing between Barents Sea operators Oil spill response plan – Heilo PL 530 Heilo located relatively close to shore Oil drift simulations showed probability of oil stranding in areas with valuable natural recourses (NOFO example areas) High attention to the emergency plans for the acute phase and the coast and shoreline The emergency plan concept Acute Strategy Oil Spill Preparedness (ASO) was established to ensure robust and user-friendly oil spill preparedness plans for the personnel performing oil spill cleanup activities in the coast- and shoreline NOFO example areas within Heilo’s influence area. NOFO example areas are predefined areas that are located in the outer coastal zone and hold a large number of environmental prioritized areas and (or) areas that are challenging with respect to an oil spill emergency preparedness situation. The dimensioning NOFO example areas for Heilo were Gjesværtappan, Nordkinn, Hjelmsøy and Nordkinn. 8 Oil Spill Preparedness - Heilo PL 530 GDF SUEZ and NOFO arranged a two day oil spill exercise with focus on coast and shoreline Various stakeholders who would be involved in any oil spill operation from the Heilo location participated in the exercise. Summary of Oil Spill Preparedness - Heilo Barrier 1 – Combat open sea close to source Response time First system within 3 hours. Fully mobilized within 24 hours Number of systems* 3 Barrier 2 – Combat open sea Response time Fully mobilized within 46 hours Number of systems 1 (autumn) 2 (winter) Barrier 3 – Combat coast- and shore zone Response time Fully mobilized within 3,9 days Number of systems 4 coastal systems with a capacity of 120 m3/d, or a combination of e.g. 3 coastal systems and one fjord systems with capacity of 17 m3/d * each system includes an Oil spill recovery (OR) vessel + a tug vessel 9 Byrkje, PL607 Deep sea sponge aggregations High focus on potential presence of corals and sponges which might be affected by petroleum activity The presence of deep sea sponge aggregations was visually mapped during two surveys in 2012 at Byrkje The data collected was then analysed and calibrated to againts criteria defined as “Deep sea sponge aggregations” A spread study (DREAM) and sponge risk assessment was carried out for the planned discharges offshore and used as a decision support in the planning phase of a drilling campaign. Monitoring of drill discharges, focusing on the spread and the effects on the deep sea sponge community present was carried out before, during and after the drilling campaign. 10 Current portfolio in Barents Sea Work programs in operated licenses PL723 (Op, 35%) • G&G studies on-going • Prospects and leads under evaluation • DoD 21.06 2016 • Initial period 21.06 2019 PL612 (Op, 50%) • Prospects under evaluation • DoD 13.05 2015 • Initial period 13.05 2018 PL607 (Op, 40%) • Firm well commitment: Fulfilled • Prospect under evaluation • Initial period 13.05 2015 11 PL722 (Op, 30%) • G&G studies on-going • Prospects and leads under evaluation • DoD 21.06 2016 • Initial period 21.06 2019 PL610 (Op, 50%) • • • • G&G studies on-going Prospect under evaluation DoD 13.05 2016 Initial period 13.05 2019 Hoop Area – 3D view from south Top Realgrunnen Gp.
