PLAN INFORMATION FORM EnVen Energy Ventures, LLC submits this Unit Supplemental Development Operations Coordination Document to allow for the drilling, completion, installation of a subsea tree, and production from Subsea Well No. 005 and for installation of a lease term pipeline from the proposed well to the existing manifold in Ewing Bank Block 963. Tentative schedules from start to completion of the proposed activities and information regarding the proposed location(s) are included on the OCS Plan Information Forms BOEM-137, Attachment A-1. A Conservation Information Document (CID) that discusses the depletion plans of the proposed well will be filed under separate cover. B. LOCATION A location/bathymetry plat, prepared in accordance with Notice to Lessees (NTL) 2008-G04, depicting the surface location(s), bottom-hole location(s) and water depth(s) of the proposed well are included as Attachments A-2, A-3 & A-4. There will not be any anchors associated with the proposed operations. In addition, there will be no pile-driving, nor is EnVen proposing any new pipelines expected to make landfall. C. SAFETY AND POLLUTION PREVENTION FEATURES During the proposed development activities, EnVen will utilize a typical drillship or DP semi-submersible drilling rig. Rig specifications will be made part of each Application for Permit to Drill. Safety features on the drilling unit will include well control, pollution prevention, welding procedure and blowout prevention equipment as described in Title 30 CFR Part 250, Subparts C, D, E, G and O and as further clarified by the BSEE Notices to Lessees, and current policy making invoked by the BSEE. The BSEE is required to conduct onsite inspections of offshore facilities to confirm operators are complying with lease stipulations, operating regulations, approved plans, and other conditions, as well as to assure safety and pollution prevention requirements are being met. The National Potential Incident of Noncompliance (PINC) List serves as the baseline for these inspections. The BSEE also inspects the stockpiles of equipment listed in the operator’s approved Regional Oil Spill Response Plan that would be used for the containment and cleanup of hydrocarbon spills. Appropriate life rafts, life jackets, ring buoys, etc., will be maintained on the facility at all times as mandated by the U.S. Coast Guard regulations contained in Title 33 CFR. EnVen Page A-1 Supervisory and certain designated personnel on-board the facility will be familiar with the effluent limitations and guidelines for overboard discharges into the receiving waters, as outlined in the NPDES General Permit GMG 290000. Pollution prevention measures include installation of curbs, gutters, drip pans, and drains on drilling deck areas to collect all contaminants and debris. D. STORAGE TANKS AND PRODUCTION VESSELS Information regarding the storage tanks that will be used to conduct the drilling operations proposed in this plan that will store oil, as defined at 30 CFR 254.6 is provided in the table below. Only those tanks with a capacity of 25 barrels or more are included.

POLLUTION PREVENTION MEASURES (FLORIDA ONLY) According to NTL 2008-G04, pollution prevention measures are not required for these proposed operations. F. ADDITIONAL MEASURES EnVen does not propose additional safety, pollution prevention, or early spill detection measures beyond those required by 30 CFR 250. The operations proposed will not utilize pile-driving, nor is EnVen proposing any new pipelines expected to make landfall.

  • National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling
    National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling STOPPING THE SPILL: THE FIVE-MONTH EFFORT TO KILL THE MACONDO WELL ---Draft--- Staff Working Paper No. 6 Staff Working Papers are written by the staff of the National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling for the use of members of the Commission. They are preliminary, subject to change, and do not necessarily reflect the views either of the Commission as a whole or of any of its members. In addition, they may be based in part on confidential interviews with government and non-government personnel. The effort to contain and control the blowout of the Macondo well was unprecedented. From April 20, 2010, the day the well blew out, until September 19, 2010, when the government finally declared it “dead,” BP expended enormous resources to develop and deploy new technologies that eventually captured a substantial amount of oil at the source and, after 87 days, stopped the flow of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. The government organized a team of scientists and engineers, who took a crash course in petroleum engineering and, over time, were able to provide substantive oversight of BP, in combination with the Coast Guard and the Minerals Management Service (MMS).1 BP had to construct novel devices, and the government had to mobilize personnel on the fly, because neither was ready for a disaster of this nature in deepwater. The containment story thus contains two parallel threads. First, on April 20, the oil and gas industry was unprepared to respond to a deepwater blowout, and the federal government was similarly unprepared to provide meaningful supervision.

  • Russian – Norwegian Oil and Gas Industry Cooperation in the High North
    Russian – Norwegian Oil and Gas industry cooperation in the High North Drilling, Well Operations and Equipment 21th of February 2014 The Core Team: Introduction by INTSOK To develop the High North as a new energy province, we must have the necessary technology to operate in vulnerable Arctic areas. The Russian – Norwegian oil and gas industry cooperation in the High North project (RU-NO Barents Project) is the largest project INTSOK has ever undertaken in any market worldwide. The scope of the RU-NO Barents project, as a strategic project for both countries, is illustrated by the participation of both government and industry from both countries, thus being a part of the official Norwegian – Russian Energy Dialogue. The main objective of the RU-NO Barents Project is, through industry cooperation and knowledge of Arctic technology needs, to contribute to the growth of the Russian and Norwegian industry participation in future petroleum endeavors in the High North. Acting on this objective, INTSOK has mobilized the industry to: Assess common technology challenges Russia and Norway face in the development of the High North Analyze existing technologies, methods and best practice Russian and Norwegian industry can offer for the High North today Based on the above: Visualize the need for innovation and technology development the industry in our two countries needs to overcome Promote stronger industrial links between our two countries It is envisaged that the RU-NO Barents project will benefit the industry, supporting their strategic decisions/direction for increased participation in field developments in the High North. The RU-NO Barents Project will also be an important arena to promote and ascertain their level of commitment given to innovation and technology development, forging stronger industry links and partnerships across the border to face our common oil and gas technology challenges of the High North and preparing the industry to meet and overcome these challenges.
