Tullow makes discovery offshore Ghana,
partnership plans continued exploration
T
ullow Oil plc’s Tweneboa-1 exploration well, drilled
in the Deepwater Tano licence offshore Ghana, has
discovered a highly-pressured light hydrocarbon
accumulation.
The well encountered roughly 70 feet of of net pay and
was drilled to a depth of 3,593 meters and is currently being
deepened to further assess the discovery and the up-dip limit
of a potential deeper fan system.
The Tweneboa-1 well, located on the Deepwater Tano
License, was drilled, logged and cased to a depth of approxi-
mately 11,790 feet, and is being deepened to further assess
additional prospective hydrocarbon-bearing zones. It was
drilled using the Eirik Raude deepwater rig in a water depth
of nearly 3,770 feet roughly 16 miles west of the Jubilee field.
Tullow (49.95%) operates the Deepwater Tano licence
and is partnered by Kosmos Energy (18%), Anadarko
Petroleum (18%), Sabre Oil & Gas (4.05%) and the Ghana
National Petroleum Corp. (10% carried interest).
Once drilling activities are finished at the Tweneboa-1
well, the partnership expects to move the rig to continue
activity in the Jubilee field. The partnership also plans to
continue an active program offshore Ghana with initial
appraisals of three recent discoveries at Odum and Mahog-
any Deep on the West Cape Three Points Block and Twen-
eboa on the adjacent Deepwater Tano License. In addition,
the partnership expects to continue its exploration program
with the Teak prospect on the West Cape Three Points
Block and Onyina on the Deepwater Tano License.

company based in Abu Dhabi, have signed an
Interim Agreement with the National Oil and Gas Author-
ity of Bahrain (NOGA) for the further development of the
Bahrain Field. OXY, Mubadala, and NOGA will form a
new joint operating company that will implement a plan to
increase the Bahrain Field’s oil and gas production.
During this interim phase, Oxy and Mubadala will con-
tinue to have exclusive rights to finalize negotiations on a
20-year Development and Production Sharing Agreement
(DPSA) for the Field.
Capital investment is expected to be roughly $1.5 billion
on a gross basis over the initial five years of the DPSA with
additional investments thereafter. The development plan is
expected to increase oil production to over 100,000 bo/d

ntil their merger in October 2007, Statoil and Hydro were two of
the most prominent players in the Norwegian oil industry going
back to the early 1970s. Both made key contributions towards
developing Norway into a modern industrial nation. The merger
into StatoilHydro created a dynamic, global oil and gas com-
pany, one that is especially noted for its innovations and technical
expertise in the offshore realm. The company is the world’s largest
offshore operator in waters more than 100 meters deep.

Who could have forecast, predicted so far down from the $100/barrel oil we touted
this time last year to open Petroleum Buyers’ Guide?
So now more than ever, petroleum professionals need to invest in “just the right”
equipment, products, systems, services, technologies and solutions — to make
certain their capital investments are sound and of highest quality.
This 2009 Petroleum Buyers’ Guide from PennWell’s PennEnergy Group is offered
to aid that search. It brings together 1,000+ companies from 25+ countries: manu-
facturers and service providers.
The 5,000+ listings offer you one-stop, accurate, reliable information to research
specify, recommend, approve, and purchase upstream, midstream, and down-
stream prod ucts and services. Our product/service/company format presents
complete data, cross references, and indices to 28 major oil industry application or
product categories and more than 700 individual products and services.

Feedwater Heater
Level Problems?
The World Wide Leader in Level
Measurements for Liquids
The MagWave has a proven record with power plant users around the
globe with a substantial increase in feedwater heater performance. The
MagWave combines a highly visible magnetic level indicator with the
true level measurement of a guided wave radar transmitter. Featuring
single probe transmitters in a standard 1.5 inch secondary chamber,
the MagWave provides the measurement capabilities of a coaxial
probe without the potential for fouling. Redundant level control can be
achieved by adding a magnetostrictive transmitter or switches to the float
chamber.
Let K-TEK assist you with your next level measurement solution, call
us at 800-735-5835 or visit our website at www.ktekcorp.com/
pbgmagwave.

Technology –
The key to success in challenging markets
When oil and gas prices are high, technology obviously plays a key role
in helping find and produce the energy necessary to fuel growing global
economies. Likewise, when equipment and skilled personnel are in short
supply, technology helps ensure that our industry gets the maximum pro-
ductivity out of the limited asset base. Today, however, we are all faced with
a different environment – one in which oil and gas prices have fallen to
substantially reduced levels and the assets necessary to find and produce
energy are readily available. Nevertheless, technology remains the key to
success, even in challenging markets, because technical innovation pro-
vides the vehicle for achieving the cost reductions and increased efficiency
essential for maintaining the economic viability of many exploration and
development programs.
Throughout its history, the oil and gas industry has continually had to
deal with high levels of risk and uncertainty. In challenging markets, in
particular, effectively managing risks and reducing uncertainty can make
the difference between a project’s success and its failure. Reducing uncer-
tainty begins with putting together an optimized drilling plan that takes into
account all available information. One of the most important developments
in this area, which is highlighted in this publication, has been the develop-
ment of highly sophisticated dynamic models of the total drilling system
using finite element analysis of the BHA elements and precise detail of the
drill bit/formation interface.
Another important element of optimizing drilling efficiency and controlling
costs is avoiding drilling surprises that can result in increases in non-pro-
ductive time. Among the technologies contributing to improvements in this
area are managed pressure drilling, advancements in measurement-while-
drilling and logging-while-drilling systems, and improvement in the reliability
and performance of drill bits and downhole tools. Many of the important
advancements in these areas are also reviewed in this PennWell drilling
technology supplement.
Smith International, Inc. has sponsored this drilling technology supple-
ment as a means for helping operators around the globe better understand
how recent technical advancements can be effectively applied to improve
drilling performance, drive down drilling costs, reduce the levels of risk and
uncertainty and help meet the drilling challenges of today and tomorrow.

S mith’s OutlawTM PDC bit has become the performance leader in the
Anadarko Basin, a result of optimizing the bit through the IDEAS simu-
lation process. The 7 7⁄8-in. Mi616 six-blade bit features 26 face cutters and six
gauge cutters to provide the optimum balance of durability for longer bit runs and
aggressiveness for faster rates of penetration. Three standard series 60N nozzles
are precisely positioned to effectively clean the hole. The bit
also features an 8.88 sq. in. junk slot area. The bit is
optimized for superior performance in the tough carbon-
ate, shale and sandstone formations typically found in
the Anadarko Basin.
In 2008 alone, the Outlaw PDC bit set six drilling
records in numerous Texas and Oklahoma counties
in the Anadarko Basin for footage drilled and rate of
penetration (ROP). All were 7 7⁄8-in. PDC bits.
For example, Bronco Drilling Rig #6 drilled the Corwin
B 5-29 well for XTO Energy in Major County, OK, with an
Mi616MNSPX bit, achieving an ROP of 92 ft/hr. This was
104% faster than the best competitor bit offset run and
set a Major County ROP record to a depth of 8,543 ft. In
comparison, three offset wells drilled with competitor bits
experienced ROPs of 41 ft/hr, 44 ft/hr and 45 ft/hr.

I n the Middle East, ”shamal” is a word used to refer to the strong northwest
winds funneled into the Persian Gulf through the mountains of Turkey and
Iraq to the northeast and the high plains of Saudi Arabia to the southwest. The
first major shamal typically occurs in late May and is known as Al-Haffar, or the
driller, because it is known to drill large depressions in the desert sand dunes.
Smith’s recent roller cone drill bit design, Shamal® Typhoon, was developed
specifically for the unique challenges of the Middle East region’s larger diameter
drilling applications. The original Shamal bit, Shamal TNG, established the SMITH
commitment to provide application-specific bit technology for the hard carbonate
formations found in the Middle East. The new design incorporates the traditional
Shamal features along with a new “Typhoon” hydraulics configuration for more
effective cleaning of large diameter holes. The proprietary IDEAS® modeling and
simulation software integrates the Shamal Typhoon hydraulics, innovative insert
geometries and advanced carbide technology to achieve optimal performance.
The latest Shamal drill bit iteration is setting new standards throughout the Middle
East region.

T he oil and gas industry continually explores increasingly difficult and com-
plex environments, in which non-traditional drilling methods are required.
These non-traditional methods include air, foam and gas drilling; underbalanced
drilling (UBD); and managed pressure drilling (MPD), all of which increase com-
plexity, often requiring meticulous planning and preparation to result in a safe and
successful operation.
SMITH offers HOLD®rotating control devices (RCDs), also called rotating heads,
for use in various drilling applications. Smith RCDs are designed and built with a
distinct focus on rig personnel safety, rig equipment and operational reliability. A
sealing element within the RCD seals around the drill string components to safely
divert dust, mud, air/gas, mist, foam or steam away from the rig floor.
The RCD’s main components include the spool or lower bowl with inlet and out-
let flanges, the bearing assembly, ,drive bushing assembly including the sealing
element and the kelly bushing. The sealing element is the most critical component
and is the barrier between the fluids in the wellbore and the rig floor personnel.
A seal is created by the stretch interference fit between the kelly/drill pipe and
the ID of the sealing element and this seal is 100% active once engaged. Seal
reliability and sealing element life are maximized through strict material quality
and manufacturing controls.

Hydra-Jar AP
Smith’s Hydra-Jar AP frees stuck drill stem components dur-
ing drilling or workover operations by jarring both up and down
with an impact force controlled by the driller, who controls the
direction, intensity and frequency of the impacts. The system
works without applied torque so directional tools maintain
their orientation throughout the jarring operations.
Hydra-Jar’s high temperature seals make the tool ideal
for hostile drilling conditions. The tool will perform in every
drilling condition, onshore or offshore, in vertical, deviated,
ultra-deep and ultra-hot wells.
The tool is balanced to hydrostatic pressure through ports
open to the wellbore, ensuring consistent hitting performance
regardless of changes in downhole pressures. The tool also
is temperature-compensated through the use of a unique de-
tent system that provides consistent loading and firing of the
jar over a broad range of wellbore temperatures.
Hydra-Jar’s unique metering process compensates for the
decrease in detent cylinder oil viscosity as the jar is fired
repeatedly, ensuring consistent impact. The tool’s full bore
design minimizes pressure losses and provides wireline
compatibility. Additionally, the jar may be run in compression
or tension, providing optimized placement in the drill string.
A safety clamp enables the jar to be made up, racked and
handled like a drill pipe joint and can be made up and racked
like a standard length of drill pipe, reducing trip time.
Smith’s data acquisition program ensures that all Hydra-
Jar tools are tested to specification prior to being sent to
the wellsite. The system uses two pressure transducers to
perform a push test and pull test for short and full detent. A
laser rangefinder device measures the stroke length.
Accelerator AP

Trackmaster Plus’s tie-in systems are deployed on a
specially designed shear sub, which can transmit sufficient
torque or fluid volumes to effectively anchor and orient the
system. If using an inflatable packer or anchor, a one-trip
system can be deployed. Orientation of the whipstock face
can be achieved by using the hydraulic swivel, which enables

This is a non-retrievable system and is ideal for convention-

compensates for the relative size differences between the
whipstock diameters and casing diameter. The hydraulically
