Tuesday, 22 January 2013 - 17:54 Chevron Signs Petroleum Deals in Offshore Morocco
By Saabira Chaudhuri
Chevron Corp. (CVX) has signed petroleum agreements related to three offshore areas in Morocco, a push to expand its footprint in frontier basins.
The oil and gas company has signed the agreements with Morocco's Office National Des Hydrocarbures Et Des Mines which, once awarded, will allow Chevron to acquire seismic data and conduct studies in deepwater areas known as Cap Rhir Deep, Cap Cantin Deep and Cap Walidia Deep located between 60 miles and 120 miles west and northwest of Agadir, Morocco. The areas encompass about 11,300 square miles with average water depths ranging from between 330 feet to 14,700 feet.
"This is an opportunity for Chevron to expand its already strong presence in the region and allows us to acquire further knowledge about promising geology in an emerging area," said Ali Moshiri, president of Chevron Africa and Latin America Exploration and Production Co.
Chevron has a 75% working interest in the three areas, with the Office National Des Hydrocarbures Et Des Mines holding the remaining 25%.
Chevron and other large oil and gas producers have been suffering the impact of a shaky global economy on oil and gas prices. In November, Chevron reported its third-quarter earnings fell 33%, missing expectations as its oil and gas production was disrupted by maintenance, legal issues and storms, and a refinery fire in California caused a sharp drop in fuel sales.
Earlier this month, the second-largest U.S. oil company by market value said it expects its fourth-quarter profit to rise compared with the previous quarter, benefiting from gains on assets and increased U.S. and international production.
Last month, Chevron said its Australian unit made two more natural-gas discoveries in the Exmouth Plateau area of the Carnarvon Basin, a hydrocarbon basin offshore western Australia.
Shares edged down by 55 cents to $114.69 in recent trading. The stock has risen 7.3% in the past 12 months.

Énorme l'infrastructure ! On va pas me faire croire que l'entreprise a ramener ce monstre pour prospecter avec tout l'investissement lourd qui suit , en sachant que elle a peu de chance de trouver quelque chose la bas . La logique économique me dit que il y a plus de 60 % de chance de trouver du concret sur cette plateforme offshore

SanLeon,CLG(chevron),et Enefit coopereront sur Timahdit pour mettre en place une Unit de 3 plant Enefit280 pour transformer l´oil shale(600MMbbl)
SanLeon a écrit:
Memorandum of Understanding ("MoU") Signed with Chevron Lummus Global
28 January 2014
San Leon Energy Plc (“San Leon” or “the Company”), has signed a Memorandum of Understanding ("MoU") with Chevron Lummus Global LLC (“CLG”), to exclusively cooperate in respect of the oil shale upgrading technology required to produce high quality synthetic crude oil from the raw shale oil to be produced in the Company’s Timahdit oil shale License Area, Morocco.
The MoU will result in a detailed evaluation by CLG focused on implementing proven proprietary CLG technology on the raw shale oil produced at the proposed Timahdit Plant to be designed and delivered in cooperation with Enefit Outotec Technology ("EOT", see also www.enefit.com/eot), a joint venture of the world’s leading oil shale energy company Enefit and mineral and metals processing technology group Outotec. The proposed Timahdit Plant, as described in the Initial EOT Evaluation Study, will be built using the latest “Enefit280” process and EOT’s experience.
Chevron Lummus Global will propose a design for an Oil Shale Upgrading unit to produce high quality synthetic crude oil which will then be refined locally. CLG has already licensed its hydrocracking technology to the Samir Refinery in Mohammedia, Morocco.
The Initial EOT study proposes that the Timahdit Plant will have three (3) “Enefit 280” units. The Plant will be designed with the ability to increase capacity to exploit the Estimated resource of 600 million bbl of shale oil within SLE’s Timahdit License area as suggested by historical data and confirmed by the EOT study.
SLE is currently conducting a core drilling operation to extract samples from the Timahdit oil shale deposit for testing at the Enefit Bench Scale plant located at EOT's R&D centre in Frankfurt, Germany. The results of these tests are expected to be available in Q2 2014.
An updated feasibility study for the Timahdit Oil Shale project is currently planned to be completed by year-end. This will facilitate the completion of project finance to fund the construction of the proposed plant envisaged to begin after 2015. Initial reactions from financial institutions have been very encouraging based on the strong interest in investing in Morocco’s energy future.
In August 2013, San Leon was offered exclusive rights to the 36 km2 Timahdit Oil Shale License for two years to evaluate the commercial viability of a surface retorting project on the prolific Timahdit oil shale deposit. Timahdit's shale oil yield in the awarded area is considered to be the highest in Morocco with an average of 100 l/t in the rich layers and has significantly less moisture content than many other international oil shale deposits. The project will also include power generation facilities.
Executive Chairman, Oisin Fanning commented,
“I very much welcome CLG as our upgrading partner in the Timahdit project. CLG is a world leader in upgrading technology who brings real strength to our team. Our continued cooperation with our existing partners, ONHYM in Morocco, along with Enefit and now CLG, brings further credibility to San Leon’s commitment to commercially develop oil shale in Morocco.”
Chevron Lummus Global, LLC provides engineering and technical services; licenses proprietary technology; and supplies catalysts to industrial and commercial customers primarily in the oil, gas, and petrochemical industries worldwide. The company offers services that relates to solutions for converting/upgrading heavy and residual components in heavy/sour crude oil into useable products. Its proprietary technology consists principally of hydroprocessing technologies, including hydrocracking and hydrotreating processes that are used by refineries to process petroleum-based products. Chevron Lummus Global, LLC was founded in 2000 and is based in Richmond, California.

attention Timahdit c'est le moyen atlas, c'est-à-dire le château d'eau du Maroc, attention aux dégâts des techniques de fragmentation de la roche sur la nappe phréatique et le cours d'eau qui y prennent naissance. Rappel historique, sur ce même, les ingénieurs de l'ex BRPM (ONHYM) avaient testé dans les années 70, une technique de pyrolise (combustion directe), appelée "T3" de ces mêmes schistes qui n'avait été concluante,sur le plan économique mais dangereuse pour l'environnement

Marokino :
le procédé Enefit 280 est un procédé développé par les Estoniens d'Outetec plus proche de l'extraction et l'exploitation minière que de la facturation hydraulique pour le gaz de schistes...On va plus voir des gros camions que des pompes à eau
c'est le mot "schistes" qui est trompeur mais çà n'a rien à voir ni de prés , ni de loin , c'est un sujet complétement différent.
now, 3 à 4 usines dans le monde : Estonie, USA et Jordanie sont en cours de construction et vont entrer en production à partir de 2016-2020 avec des productions de huile de pétrole conséquentes ou de la production electrique directe ...
San Leon travaille déjà sur ce procédé sur le site de Tarfaya mais ici à Timahdit la présence de Chevron est pour moi la vraie bonne nouvelle

l'image d'un puits où tu pompes directement du liquide (gaz, oil...) est faux, on voit çà dans les films , mais dans la réalité géologique, les hydrocarbures sont toujours piégés dans de la roche poreuse ....

ONHYM to Assess Morocco’s Oil and Gas Potential at the Morocco Oil & Gas 2014 Summit in Marrakech, 7th-8th May 2014
The global summits organiser, IRN is delighted to announce that senior executives from the Moroccan National Office of Hydrocarbons and Mines (ONHYM), including Mr Mohamed Nahim, Exploration Director, will review the oil, gas and shale gas potential of the country at the Morocco Oil & Gas 2014 Summit, taking place 7th-8th May 2014 in Marrakech, Morocco.
Through detailed analysis of the country geology and intriguing petroleum structures, as well as discussions on the resurgence of Morocco as one of the most important African oil and gas exploration area and exclusive updates on the new governmental strategy, the ONHYM will highlight the untapped potential of Morocco and its image of an emerging hydrocarbon market. Morocco has recently given an important boost to its oil and gas industry by encouraging its partners to conduct exploration projects with their permits as well as their recognition areas onshore and offshore. The ONHYM’s strategic Action Plan for 2012-2016 is based on the development of the exploration already undertaken as well as promotion of all the free zones in order to revive and activate new exploration on these promising prospects. The Morocco Oil & Gas 2014 Summit will provide the perfect platform to network with the main players of the Moroccan hydrocarbon industry. The speaker line-up is formed with high level representatives and experts from oil and gas companies actively involved in Morocco who will collectively address up-to-date issues and developments around their activities in Morocco. The Morocco Oil & Gas 2014 Summit is tailored for professionals who want to increase their understanding and secure sound knowledge around E&P developments in oil and gas frontiers in Morocco. The first oil and gas event dedicated to Morocco will specifically focus on the country’s oil and gas potential and discuss issues related to the exploration, production, refining and transportation of hydrocarbons.

Total renouvelle pour une année son permis d'exploration au large de nos cotes sahariennes, ce qui prouve qu'il y aurait un certain potentiel :
Total a renouvelé son permis d'exploration au large de la côte du Sahara marocain, où sa chasse d'huile a provoqué la colère du Polisario et poussé un investisseur norvégien de retirer sa participation de la compagnie énergétique française. Totale a annoncé vendredi qu'il avait prolongé pour une troisième année sa licence de reconnaissance pour le bloc de Anzarane 100 000 kilomètres carrés. Totale a déclaré à Reuters dans une réponse par courriel aux questions qu'il avait renouvelé la licence " pour compléter le traitement et l'interprétation des données sismiques acquises en 2013 " . Depuis l'obtention de l’autorisation de reconnaissance, Total a réalisé des études sismiques géologiques des fonds marins et 3D, mais n'a pas annoncé de plans de forage d'un puits d’exploration, qui obligerait à signer un contrat distinct avec le Maroc. Notons à cet égard que le Maroc, Total et Kosmos se sont tous engagés à respecter les normes internationales et un avis juridique de l'ONU lui demandant de consulter les populations locales sur leurs activités.

US' Kosmos to drill first oil well offshore Morocco in mid-March: official
London (Platts)--18Feb2014/944 am EST/1444 GMT
Dallas-based Kosmos Energy plans to drill its first well offshore Morocco in the coming weeks in a bid to unlock the multi-billion barrel potential of the North African country's waters, a senior Kosmos official said Tuesday.
Speaking at International Petroleum Week in London, Kosmos' country manager for Morocco, Ragnar Fredsted, said Morocco's offshore was one of the last remaining unexplored deepwater basins in the world.
"We will spud the first well in a couple of weeks -- in mid-March," he said.
The well, FA-1 in the Foum Assaka block, is targeting up to 500 million barrels of oil.
Fredsted said there was no more acreage available offshore Morocco as the industry "cottoned on" to its potential.
Oil companies have poured into Morocco in recent years including Chevron and Plains Exploration & Production of the US, Portugal's Galp Energia and UK-Anglo Genel Energy.
Between them, some 10 exploration wells will be drilled in the next 1-2 years, Fredsted said.
No exploration wells had been drilled offshore Morocco for 10 years until a failed well drilled in 2013 by the UK's Cairn Energy.
Cairn has interests in three blocks offshore Morocco -- two as operator and one as non-operator.
The first well, FD-1, encountered gas shows, but was plugged and abandoned, while a second well, JM-1, is currently drilling, Cairn chief operating officer Paul Mayland said at the same event.

Morocco Operations:
Rharb Permits
Acquisition of the 225 square kilometre 3D seismic survey, covering the prospective south-western portion of the Rharb permit was completed in October 2013. The data acquired in that programme is currently undergoing processing by CGG-Veritas. A fast-track preliminary volume of the processed 3D data has been delivered and is being used for basic analyses and lead identification in the area covered by the new survey.
The final volume of processed data is anticipated to be delivered in early March 2014 enabling the selection of future drilling locations in this area of the Rharb permits utilising the new 3D data rather than the 2D data which was of lesser quality but was the only previously available seismic data over the Rharb permits. It is anticipated that the next well to be drilled, which will be the fourth well in the current programme, can be selected with the benefit of the 3D data acquired in the recent seismic programme.
As contemplated by the Company's drilling contract with COFOR, the drilling contractor, it is anticipated that drilling operations on the fourth well in the Company's Rharb drilling programme will commence in late March or early April although the exact timing of the commencement of operations is dependent upon a number of factors including local weather conditions which currently restrict access to some areas of the permit. A further announcement will be made when drilling operations commence.
Fes Permit
The 650 km 2D seismic programme within the Fes permit is nearing completion. As a consequence of weather disruption to the data acquisition programme, this programme has taken significantly longer than originally anticipated and therefore there will be some delay in completing the processing of data for use in interpretation and identification of drilling targets.
As the Fes area is known to be structurally complex, prior to the Company's receipt of the data, it will undergo a number of additional and more sophisticated processes than would usually be the case, including depth migration processing. Notwithstanding the additional time and cost involved in applying these sophisticated processing techniques, it is anticipated that the resulting data set will be significantly enhanced and assist with the interpretation of the data captured during this programme in order to develop the leads into drillable prospects.
It is anticipated that a drilling target will be identified during the 3rd quarter of this year and accordingly the Company has commenced a process to identify and select a suitable rig for drilling on the Fes licence later this year.
