Crude Oil Advances on Supply Concerns

Oil Jumps As an Attack on an Iraqi Pipeline Slows Oil Exports; Traders Ignore Stronger Dollar
NEW YORK (AP) -- Oil futures shot to nearly $108 a barrel Thursday as concerns about Iraqi oil output stole investors' attention from the dollar, which stabilized against the euro.
Retail gas prices, meanwhile, inched up overnight while diesel prices slipped.

The bombing of a key Iraqi oil pipeline Thursday morning appeared to cut oil exports from the southern oil city of Basra, despite oil officials' statements to the contrary. Dow Jones Newswires reported that exports from southern Iraqi terminals have been cut to about 1.2 million barrels a day from a normal rate of 1.56 million barrels a day.
"We're going to be getting less oil because of the explosion," said James Cordier, founder of OptionSellers.com, a Tampa, Fla., trading firm.
For traders, the big factor is that Iraqi oil supplies were cut by a deliberate act of terrorism, Cordier said. That raises the prospect of more attacks, and less oil.
Light, sweet crude for May delivery rose 90 cents to $106.80 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange after earlier rising as high as $107.70.
The news from Iraq added to supply concerns stoked Wednesday when the government reported that domestic crude oil inventories were mostly unchanged last week, while fuel supplies fell more than expected.
The supply concerns temporarily drew investors' attention from the dollar, which rose slightly against the euro, reversing a trend that sent oil futures surging nearly $5 on Wednesday. A stronger dollar makes hard assets such as energy commodities less attractive as a hedge against inflation than when the greenback is falling. Exacerbating the impact of foreign exchange moves, oil futures are priced in dollars, making them more expensive to investors overseas when the greenback rises.
Despite Thursday's strength, analysts expect the dollar to soon resume its decline against foreign currencies. The Federal Reserve is expected to cut interest rates several more times this year, and lower rates tend to weaken the dollar.
"I think crude oil is easily going to be testing $120 (in coming weeks)," Cordier said. Crude futures rose to a trading record of $111.80 earlier last week before retreating as the dollar strengthened.
At the pump, meanwhile, gas prices rose 0.6 cent Thursday to a national average of $3.267 a gallon, according to AAA and the Oil Price Information Service. Diesel prices slid 0.5 cent to a national average of $4.022 a gallon.
Both fuels have followed oil's recent surge higher, and remain near recent records. High gas prices are pressuring consumers already buckling under the effects of high food prices, falling home values and tight credit markets.
The Energy Department expects gas prices to peak near $3.50 this spring as suppliers stock up in advance of peak summer driving season. Many analysts think prices will rise even higher than that.
In other Nymex trading Thursday, April heating oil futures rose by 5.64 cents to $3.1002 a gallon, while April gasoline futures slid by 4.41 cents to $2.6988 a gallon.
April natural gas futures fell by 8.7 cents to $9.485 per 1,000 cubic feet. The Energy Department, in its weekly inventory report, said natural gas supplies fell last week by 36 billion cubic feet, less than analysts surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires had expected.
In London, Brent crude gained 41 cents to $104.40 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange.

Shell group chooses subsea pipelines over FPSO for offshore Perdido development
Ray Tyson
For Petroleum News
Shell and partners Chevron and BP have opted for subsea pipelines, rather than what might have been the Gulf of Mexico’s first-ever floating, production, storage and offloading system or FPSO, to transport production to shore from their “ultra-deepwater” and highly acclaimed Lower Tertiary oil discoveries in Alaminos Canyon’s remote Perdido Foldbelt.
Shell spokeswoman Sarah Andreani recently told Petroleum News that “full consideration” was given to “several production system alternatives,” including an FPSO, which generally employs shuttle tankers to move production to market.
“In the end, key drivers influencing the decision to select a spar (offshore production facility) and pipelines included the desire to have a high well count with full drilling, completion and sidetracking capability from a low cost platform drilling rig along with the existence of a significant pipeline transportation network with available capacity,” she explained.
Williams said it has firm agreements with the Perdido owners to provide gathering, processing and transportation services over the life of the reserves.
“Building critical infrastructure for producers in strategic hubs is central to our plans for creating value in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico,” said Alan Armstrong, president of Williams’ midstream gas gathering and processing business.
Williams will invest $480 million
Williams plans to invest roughly $480 million in its Perdido Norte Project, which the company said it would own and operate. The investment includes a total of 184 miles of pipeline and expanded natural gas processing capacity. Pipeline construction would begin in January 2008, the company said, adding that the expected date for the pipelines and additional processing capacity to be ready to receive production is around the turn of the decade.
With the Perdido Norte Project, Williams will have invested approximately $1.7 billion in deepwater Gulf of Mexico gathering and processing infrastructure since 1997. The company’s previously disclosed capital spending guidance included the 2007 and 2008 portion of the planned expenditures for the Perdido project.
Williams said it would tap general operating funds to finance the project.
Williams’ portion of the Perdido project would originate at the floating production facility the producers plan to construct in roughly 8,000 feet of water about 220 miles south of Galveston, Texas.
Under terms of the deal, Williams said it would begin collecting “volume based” fees for services it provides when production begins. The Great White, Silvertip and Tobago fields are expected to be the source of initial production. By design, Williams’ facilities would have capacity to accommodate future production from other Perdido Foldbelt prospects and from potential tie-ins along the new pipeline route, Williams said.
Williams’ design includes 107 miles of natural gas gathering pipeline, with the capacity to transport around 265 million cubic feet per day of production. The pipeline would extend from the producers’ floating production facility to Williams’ existing Seahawk gathering system. Seahawk connects at Brazos block 538 with a Williams Transco-operated pipeline that transports natural gas to the company’s Markham, Texas, processing plant.
Oil component to move 150,000 bpd
The crude oil transportation component of Williams’ new installation is designed to move 150,000 barrels per day of production to Gulf Coast refineries via the company’s planned pipeline and through capacity on an existing, third-party system. Williams’ 77-mile, oil pipeline route runs from the producers’ floating production facility to the Hoover Offshore Oil Pipeline System. Through an agreement with a unit of ExxonMobil Pipeline Co. Williams can deliver the oil to HOOPS for transportation of oil from the offshore interconnect to onshore refineries, Williams said.
To accommodate the new production the company expects on its Perdido Norte Project, Williams said it also plans to significantly increase daily capacity at its Markham gas-processing plant. The company said it would expand gas capacity at Markham to more than 500 million cubic feet per day from the existing 300 million level.
The 10,500-mile Transco pipeline moves natural gas from the Gulf Coast to 12 Southeast and Atlantic Seaboard states, including major metropolitan areas in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
“Williams’ Perdido Norte Project will provide our customers in some of the nation’s largest metropolitan markets, with the opportunity to access this significant new source of supply,” said Phil Wright, president of Williams’ interstate gas pipeline business.
In addition to the Perdido Norte Project, Williams’ current deepwater Gulf of Mexico projects include expansion of Discovery’s system with Williams’ Tahiti pipeline project for Chevron’s Tahiti discovery in the central region, and installation of export oil and gas pipelines for Chevron’s Blind Faith discovery in the eastern region in Mississippi Canyon blocks 695 and 696.
In addition, Williams owns and operates gathering and processing facilities — onshore and offshore — from Markham to Mobile, Ala.
In late October the Shell group announced plans for the so-called Perdido Regional Development Host, asserting then that the group would be the first to produce from the Lower Tertiary zone, the Gulf of Mexico’s hottest deepwater play with billions of barrels of potential oil reserves stretching hundreds of miles through Alaminos Canyon in the west through Keathley Canyon and Walker Ridge to the east.
Another group, consisting of Oklahoma’s Devon Energy and Brazil’s Petrobras, has announced plans to develop Lower Tertiary discoveries in Walker Ridge, and is said to be considering the FPSO option. The companies anticipate a 2009 startup.
Plans to develop both the Walker Ridge and Alaminos Canyon discoveries were not disclosed until after positive results were released from a crucial Lower Tertiary production test conducted on the Jack discovery in Walker Ridge.
FPSOs common alternative to expensive pipelines
FPSOs are commonly used around the world as a transportation alternative to expensive pipelines. The U.S. Minerals Management Service approved their use in the Gulf of Mexico more than five years ago, but thus far there have been no takers.
Shell operates the Perdido Regional Development with a 35 percent interest, followed by Chevron with a 37.5 percent stake and BP with a 27.5 percent interest.
Separately, Shell operates the Great White discovery with a 33.34 percent interest, followed by Chevron with a 33.33 percent interest and BP with a 33.33 percent stake. Great White, among the first Lower Tertiary discoveries in the U.S. Gulf, is located on Alaminos Canyon blocks 812, 813, 814, 857, 900 and 901. Shell drilled a total of five wells at Great White, with the most recent spud occurring in March 2004. The original well was drilled to a vertical depth of 14,405 feet. An appraisal well was drilled to a true vertical depth of 15,035 feet in 2002.
Tobago is located on Alaminos Canyon block 859 in about 9,600 feet of water. Chevron owns 57.5 percent along with its co-owners Shell, the operator, with 32.5 percent and Canada’s Nexen with 10 percent. The discovery well was drilled in 2004 to a total depth of 18,510 feet. A sidetrack well was drilled to 18,425 feet.
Silvertip, on Alaminos Canyon Block 815, is 60 percent owned by Chevron and operated by Shell with a 40 percent interest. Chevron drilled the AC 815 No. 1 discovery well in August 2004 in roughly 9,200 feet of water to a total depth of 14,778

Chesapeake to Expand Drilling for Gas and Oil
By Ben Casselman and Russell Gold
Word Count: 437 | Companies Featured in This Article: Chesapeake Energy
Chesapeake Energy Corp. said it is expanding gas drilling in several areas around the country and, in a departure, drilling for oil, as well, a sign that natural-gas producers are betting on prolonged high energy prices.
Monday, the Oklahoma City company, which expects to become the top U.S. natural-gas producer by the end of the year, announced a gas discovery near Shreveport, La., which it says could have a significant impact on its production.
In addition, the company said it is developing four oil projects. It said

Top scientists warn against rush to biofuelBrown plans to resist EU plans for increased quotas as doubts multiply
James Randerson and Nicholas Watt The Guardian, Tuesday March 25 2008 Article historyAbout this articleClose This article appeared in the Guardian on Tuesday March 25 2008 on p1 of the Top stories section. It was last updated at 01:56 on March 25 2008.

Gordon Brown is preparing for a battle with the European Union over biofuels after one of the government's leading scientists warned they could exacerbate climate change rather than combat it.
In an outspoken attack on a policy which comes into force next week, Professor Bob Watson, the chief scientific adviser at the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, said it would be wrong to introduce compulsory quotas for the use of biofuels in petrol and diesel before their effects had been properly assessed.
"If one started to use biofuels ... and in reality that policy led to an increase in greenhouse gases rather than a decrease, that would obviously be insane," Watson said. "It would certainly be a perverse outcome."
Under the Renewable Transport Fuels Obligation, all petrol and diesel must contain 2.5% of biofuels from April 1. This is designed to ensure that Britain complies with a 2003 EU directive that 5.75% of petrol and diesel come from renewable sources by 2010.
But scientists have increasingly questioned the sustainability of biofuels, warning that by increasing deforestation the energy source may be contributing to global warming.
Watson's warning was echoed last night by Professor Sir David King, who recently retired as the government's chief scientific adviser. He said biofuel quotas should be put on hold until the results were known of a review which has been commissioned by ministers.
"What is absolutely desperately needed within government are people of integrity who will state what the science advice is under whatever political pressure or circumstances," he said.
The EU plans to raise the compulsory biofuel quota to 10% by 2020, but Brown is understood to be ready to challenge this plan. A senior government source said last night: "There is a growing feeling that we need to get all the facts. Some biofuels are OK but there are serious questions about others. More work needs to be done."
Sources say the government has no choice but to implement the guidelines next month because Britain is obliged under EU law to comply with the 2010 target.
But the report on biofuels, to come from the head of the Renewable Fuels Agency, Professor Ed Gallagher, may be used to challenge the more ambitious target for 2020, which is not set in law.
John Beddington, the government's current chief scientific adviser, has already expressed scepticism about biofuels. At a speech in Westminster this month he said demand for biofuels from the US had delivered a "major shock" to world agriculture, which was raising food prices globally. "There are real problems with the unsustainability of biofuels," he said, adding that cutting down rainforest to grow the crops was "profoundly stupid".
Britain will move cautiously in its battle with Brussels because José Manuel Barroso, the European commission president, is championing the 10% target for 2020. Barroso this month dismissed as "exaggerated" claims that biofuels can lead to increases in food prices and greenhouse gas emissions due to deforestation. But other members of the commission and other countries, including Germany, sympathise with Britain.
Brown was due to release a report touching on issues including biofuels, when he met Barroso in Brussels last month. But the prime minister decided that the time was "not right or ripe".
The prime minister made clear that Britain is wary of the target when he said last November: "I take extremely seriously concerns about the impact of biofuels on deforestation, precious habitats and on food security, and the UK is working to ensure a European sustainability standard is introduced as soon as possible, and we will not support an increase in biofuels over current target levels until an effective standard is in place

MAKO TECHNOLOGIES DISTRIBUTORSHIP DEAL GROWS SEAEYE IN USA
Seaeye has expanded in the US with the appointment of Mako Technologies as distributor of its ROVs in the Gulf of Mexico.
Mako engineers are being trained to repair, maintain and operate Seaeye vehicles, adding to Seaeye's position as world leader in the number of skilled ROV pilots available to operate its systems.
Depot stocks of spares will be held in Morgan City, Louisiana, to support Mako sales and their own rental pool operations, along with offering support to other Seaeye customers and distributors across America who will benefit from access to additional repair and stockholding facilities.
The deal follows deliveries to Mako of two Seaeye Falcons in November and the planned delivery of a Seaeye Lynx ROV for its rental pool in February with further systems now being discussed. The suite of vehicles brings to Mako's fleet some of the most reliable and advanced technological features available in ROV operation today.
The company has already sold more electric powered ROVs to the offshore industry than any other company since its formation in 1987 and this new commitment to support customers' operations in the United States is forecast to generate further growth in the company's international business.

JAGUAR ATTACK
In a direct attack on the hydraulic ROV market, Saab Seaeye has launched an innovative new concept in electric work ROVs. Called the Seaeye Jaguar, it is now the largest in their range and the most advanced of its type in the world.

Jaguar - an innovative new concept in work ROVs
Its launch marks the introduction of an entirely new generation of electric underwater vehicles with technological innovations set to maintain the company’s lead in the electric ROV market.
The Seaeye Jaguar has the highest payload and thrust in its class, with a clever new simplified control system that makes it easy to pilot.
At under half the weight of its hydraulic ROV equivalent, with a smaller footprint, and needing fewer operators, the Seaeye Jaguar can bring significant savings in operating costs.
With a power to weight ratio that is by far the best in its class, the Jaguar will bring the precise control associated with Seaeye’s ROV technology to an ever wider range of heavy duty work tasks.
Operators will also welcome the faster training of new pilots and conversion of experienced pilots that is now possible with the new simplified control system. Its built-in intelligence, with fewer and more intuitive controls, has lightened the burden on the pilot by making it easier to manage the ROV.
Pilots will also find fault diagnostics easier. A unique system of self-diagnostics and simple presentation, clearly displays the fault and the necessary remedial action to the pilot.
Saab Seaeye’s reputation for ROV innovation and reliability will be further enhanced by a new dual redundant high-frequency/high voltage power distribution system. This allows the ROV to continue to operate on reduced power if one of the dual power systems fails. It also reduces the diameter and weight of the umbilical, and significantly cuts the size and weight of the onboard transformer.
Speed of ascent and descent of the 3000 metre rated Seaeye Jaguar is also faster. This follows new developments in thruster technology that has doubled the thrust power of previous systems.
The accessories offered as standard on the ROV include a pair of Schilling Orion manipulators: the seven function position feedback manipulator, and the four function rate manipulator.
The Seaeye Jaguar is unveiled as the company continues to make inroads into a market area dominated by hydraulic work vehicles, but where operators are increasingly turning to electric work ROVs, attracted by lower cost of ownership and ease of handling compared with the hydraulic equivalent.
This new breed of operator is bringing innovation to cost effective operational management by utilising the electric ROV for the vast majority of tasks performed by hydraulic systems. They also focus on tasks for which the electric vehicle is best suited: such as drill support, survey operations, cable laying support, touch-down monitoring, IRM, and a high proportion of intervention and construction tasks.
The incentive for ROV operators to use electric is strong. Electric ROVs not only weight far less, take up less deck space and need a smaller crew, but have significantly shorter mobilisation times
More compact surface control equipment and transformers, and less space required for workshop and storage, means the deck space needed for containers can be up to half that required for a hydraulic ROV system.
Such functional benefits and the technological innovations of the new Seaeye Jaguar will bring a future dimension to the company’s range of ROVs which now cover virtually all manner of undersea operations within the oil and gas industry, defence, hydro engineering and marine science.
For the defence world the Seaeye Jaguar offers an ROV that is powerful yet compact and easy to operate with the capability for a range of vital tasks including object recovery and deep water survey and salvage.
Saab Seaeye is the largest manufacturer of electrically operated ROVs, and its parent company, Saab Underwater Systems, is a world leader in sensor systems, precision engagement systems, and remotely operated and autonomous underwater vehicles.

Oil spike to last through 2008: OPEC president
Monday March 10, 4:47 am ET
ALGIERS (Reuters) - Oil prices will stay at current high levels for the rest of this year due to speculation and geopolitical tensions, Algerian state media on Monday reported OPEC President Chakib Khelil as saying.

Prices could retreat in 2009 with a recovery of the U.S. dollar in foreign exchange markets following the election of a new U.S. president, and as fundamentals reassert themselves as major market forces, he was reported as saying by government newspaper El Moudjahid and state news agency APS.
"Just like the current surge in oil markets, the (world economic) crisis, will last until the end of the year," he was quoted as saying by El Moudjahid.
"The oil market will stay above $100 during the current financial year, according to the assessment of Mr Khelil," APS said in a report on his remarks to Algerian reporters on Sunday.
It was not immediately clear which fiscal year APS was referring to.
Khelil, who is also Algerian Energy and Mines Minister, said the factors driving the market at present included "speculation, geopolitical tensions, particularly due to the Iranian nuclear affair and the crisis between Venezuela and ExxonMobil," APS reported.
The world economy could get some help with the arrival of a new U.S. president, and possibly a new economic policy, "and with this new situation it is very probable that the dollar will start to recover and thus permit a readjustment of the (oil) market," El Moudjahid quoted him as saying.
OPEC members meeting in Vienna last week decided to hold production flat, insisting markets were well supplied and blaming record prices on factors outside the group's control, including speculators and what Khelil called the "mismanagement" of the U.S. economy.
Speculators have piled into oil and other commodities as a hedge against the weaker dollar and inflation as the U.S. economy slows due to a credit crunch, the mortgage crisis and high energy costs.
Khelil said OPEC had left output unchanged because it wanted to assist global economic growth, El Moudjahid and APS reported.
The group made its decision in the knowledge that demand was expected to dip by 1.4 million barrels per day (bpd) in the second quarter of the year and that stocks in consuming countries were at comfortable levels, Khelil said.
"If we had increased our production given all these factors, you wouldn't have been able to miss the impact on prices," he said, suggesting prices would have slid.
"We left our output unchanged so as not to disturb the market further and to help the world economy resume its momentum of growth," El Moudhajid quoted him as saying.

Crude May Rise to $120 in Six Months, Taqa CEO Says (Update2)
By Glen Carey
March 4 (Bloomberg) -- Crude oil may rise to $120 a barrel within six months due to the dollar weakness and global political tensions, the chief executive officer of Abu Dhabi National Energy Co. said.
``I think a trading range between $80 and $120 a barrel this year is about right,'' Peter Barker-Homek, the head of the United Arab Emirates state-controlled company, which is also known as Taqa, said in an interview in Dubai today. ``But with the softness of the dollar, and the occasional interruptions that you have because of politics, I think we could see $120 oil.''
In October, Barker-Homek said that crude would rise to $100 from $80 before the end of the first quarter because of unfettered Asian demand growth and possible supply shocks. Oil prices continued to rise today after the Taqa CEO made his latest forecast.
Crude oil for April delivery rose as much as 70 cents in earlier electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange and was up 28 cents at $102.73 a barrel at 2:06 p.m. London time. The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries will meet tomorrow in Vienna, where members have already ruled out changing output.
The dollar traded near a record low versus the euro as traders increased bets that the Federal Reserve will lower interest rates by 0.75 percentage point this month. The U.S. currency was at $1.5217 per euro
well brikk, after reading all these messages long term to me sounds like 32 months
