NORTH SLOPE GULF OF MEXICO Prudhoe production rising; North Slope still down by about 100,000 bpd Alaska Department of Revenue numbers show Prudhoe Bay crude oil production rising at mid-September, but still well below early August numbers. The department noted at mid-September that “planned and unplanned maintenance continues to keep North Slope production below 900,000 barrels per day.” “All Prudhoe Bay facilities are operating normally,” BP Exploration (Alaska) spokesman Daren Beaudo told Petroleum News Sept. 16. Before scheduled maintenance in the second week of August slowed production at the BP-operated Prudhoe Bay field, the North Slope’s largest, production had been as much as 472,004 bpd on Aug. 3. It dropped to as low as 108,495 bpd on Aug. 17 and by Sept. 14 was back up to 374,562 bpd. Overall North Slope production was down beginning in mid- July when ConocoPhillips took the Alpine field down for a DAREN BEAUDO month’s construction and maintenance work, and most fields had maintenance scheduled to coincide with an early August maintenance and con- struction shutdown of the trans-Alaska pipeline. Alpine production now reflects phase one of facility expansion at that field, hitting 117,218 bpd Aug. 12. The field’s capacity has been in the 100,000-105,000 bpd range, and was expected to grow by 5,000 bpd from this summer’s work, which increased produced water handling capacity. Capacity at Alpine will increase to 140,000 bpd after facility expansion work is completed next summer. BP also had maintenance planned at Prudhoe in August and Beaudo said that work at Gathering Center 2, which began Aug. 11, also included a systems upgrade on a reboiler, which conditions natural gas before re-injection, and cleaning out separation

HOUSTON Transocean lands ‘ultra-deepwater’ contract in Gulf Anadarko Petroleum has awarded Transocean a six-month contract valued at about $36.4 million for “ultra-deep- water” drilling projects in the Gulf of Mexico, Transocean said Sept. 15. The contract is expected to begin Dec. 1 and contains options to extend the contract over three, six-month intervals “at mutually agreed pricing,” Transocean said. Transocean said it will use the Deepwater Millennium, a dynamically positioned, fifth-generation drillship capable of operating in water depths up to 10,000 feet. The rig entered active service during the fourth quarter of 1999, following construction at the Samsung Shipyard in Korea. The rig is currently operating in the U.S. Gulf under a contract expected to conclude by the end of September, Transocean said. —RAY TYSON finance&economy

Russia and Norway, the second and third-biggest oil exporters, aren’t beholden to OPEC, which strictly regu- lates price and supply among its mem- bers, but gain from whatever price band is set and, oil officials there say, can adjust their output to correspond with the market’s dictates. “Were it not for OPEC exerting influ- ence on the market ... it’s very likely the price would trade down,” John Waterlow, an analyst with Edinburgh, Scotland-based Wood Mackenzie, told the AP. “People would be tempted to compete to cut down the prices to the cost of supply.” Spare capacity low Total SA’s chief executive, Thierry Desmarest, in an interview with the Financial Times published Sept. 13, said OPEC should let oil companies have more access in a bid to bolster the pro- duction-capacity shortage. It’s a sentiment that’s being eyed as prices remain so high. “(OPEC) is a cartel that works, they do withhold production from the mar- ket,” said Sieminski. “Spare capacity is very low. It is why oil is more than US$40.” Sieminski said most oil companies keep several years of production reserves while OPEC countries have between 40 and 50 years worth. “Everyone is afraid of another acci- dent or sabotage. What Desmarest said in the interview with the FT is what he said in Paris and London,” the analyst said. “His message to OPEC is that they need to let the companies come in there and develop some spare capacity ... and productive capacity.” ● PETROLEUM NEWS • WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 19, 2004 FINANCE & ECONOMY A9

Heinze said he will be looking for Alaska contractors. There is more than enough expertise in the state, he said, and there is also an advantage to having work done locally so that contractors are avail- able for regular meetings. Money available for contracts The goal of the new contract work, Heinze said, is to move forward. “This plan tries to take us to the next step” of finishing the feasibility report. What has been done, while “very preliminary,” found “no show stoppers,” he said. The total for both sets of contracts, Heinze said, will be in the $400,000- $500,000 range. Heinze said money for the right-of- way work and the LNG plant work is within existing funding, although the authority will use up its funding this fis- cal year and request new and significant funding for the next fiscal year. Steve Porter, deputy commissioner of the Alaska Department of Revenue, con- curred with Heinze that the money in dis- cussion for these contracts should be within the range of money already approved by the Legislature. A preliminary feasibility report now being finished will present a strategy for financing. Heinze said the authority might want to ask the Legislature for a few million dollars for the next fiscal year, money that it would use to go out for public financing. The authority will have a “placeholder” amount in the budg- et for the next fiscal year, he said, an amount which will be finalized after the upcoming set of contract work is com- pleted and the authority can present the Legislature with a plan for moving for- ward. ● land&leasing

rom rescuing injured climbers on Alaska’s Mount McKinley to providing sky cranes for construction F projects, Evergreen Helicopters will perform just about any kind of airlift anywhere in the world. With a large, diverse fleet of helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft, the company has established a unique business that can respond quickly and flexibly to service needs. EVERGREEN HELICOPTERS COURTESY “We look for niche markets — stuff other people aren’t doing or won’t do, that we can do safely and where the return is worth going into,” Gerard Rock, president of Evergreen Helicopters of Alaska Inc., told Petroleum News. Aviation pioneer Delford Smith founded Evergreen Helicopters in Anchorage, Alaska, in 1961. The original company expanded to become Evergreen International Aviation, now based in McMinnville, Ore., and still owned by Smith. Evergreen Helicopters became a subsidiary of the larger company. Rock explained that the large financial resources of Evergreen International Aviation together with the diverse nature of Evergreen Helicopter’s fleet give Evergreen Helicopters its unique ability to respond rapidly to cus- With a large, diverse fleet of helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft, Evergreen Helicopters has established a unique business that can tomer requests. respond quickly and flexibly to service needs. “We’ve got corporate funding and an ability to operate Evergreen Helicopters also annually conducts search Motivated employees anything we want to operate,” Rock said. “We have a very and rescue missions, throughout the 6 million-acre Denali With such a diverse range of aircraft and assignments, diverse fleet and we tend to give the customer an exact National Park.
