Houston Chronicle: March 23, 2006 DEEP-WATER EXPLORATION, DRILLING FLOURISH IN THE GULF NEW ORLEANS - Petroleum operators announced 10 new deep-water discoveries in the Gulf of Mexico in 2005 and the number of drilling rigs exploring in deep water has increased sevenfold in a year, a federal agency is reporting. Deep water is considered to be 1,000 feet or deeper. The deepest discovery reported last year was by BP in 9,576 feet of water. "Last year continued to be a strong year for deep-water activity in the Gulf of Mexico," said Chris Oynes, the agency's Gulf of Mexico regional director. "There is intense interest in oil and gas potential in the deep water." In March, there were 42 rigs drilling or working on development wells in deep-water areas, including 10 rigs in 5,000 feet or more, the agency said. A year ago, there were six rigs in ultradeep water. On March 15, petroleum exploration companies put $588.3 million in high bids for 405 offshore tracts off Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. The figure far exceeded last year's auction by the agency, when $342 million in high bids were accepted for 403 tracts that exploration firms are betting on to produce in the central Gulf of Mexico.
Houston Chronicle: March 2, 2006 GLOBALSANTAFE WINS CONTRACT: DEEP-WATER RIG WILL COST $590 MILLION GlobalSantaFe Corp., the world’s second-largest offshore driller by market value, said Thursday it reached an agreement with an unidentified customer to provide a new deep-water rig that would generate about $1 billion in revenue over seven years. Keppel Fels, a unit of Keppel Corp., has been contracted to build the rig at its Singapore shipyard at a cost of about $590 million, Houston-based GlobalSantaFe said. Delivery of the rig, to be named GSF Development Driller III, is expected in early 2009, the company said. The new rig may generate an average of about $390,000 a day for GlobalSantaFe, based on the total revenue and duration of the agreement.
Houston Chronicle: March 11, 2006 LOST LANGUAGE DRAINS BILLIONS: MYSTERIOUS ERROR TO COST GOVERNMENT ENERGY ROYALTIES WASHINGTON – How it happened or who’s responsible is a mystery eight years after the fact. But what may have been a simple error – or perhaps something more ominous – has given a multimillion-dollar windfall to a group of oil and natural gas companies and could cost the government billions of dollars more in the years to come. The Interior Department disclosed this week that a provision was mysteriously deleted from hundreds of federal drilling leases in the late 1990s that would have required producers to pay royalties, once prices reached a certain level, on oil or gas taken from deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico. In 1995, Congress exempted deep-water oil from royalty payments to spur development. But a price threshold was included in leases issued in 1996 and 1997 and again in leases sold in each year since 2000 that reinstates the royalties if market prices reach a certain level. For some reason the language “was inadvertently dropped” from an addendum attached to more than 1,100 leases the Interior Department’s Minerals Management Service issued for 1998 and 1999, Walter Cruickshank, the agency’s deputy director, told a House Government Reform subcommittee Wednesday. He said officials have not been able to determine who made the change. “It is clear that there is no record telling people to take the language out,” he said, and it was widely known that the department wanted the price threshold restriction in any oil and gas leases as a matter of policy. In the late 1990s, when oil prices were well below the threshold, the issue may not have attracted attention. Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., the subcommittee chairman, called the whole matter “suspicious.” “This is a $7 billion word processing error,” Issa told reporters. He said some of the leases issued during those two years could remain in effect for as long as 85 years, so the government will be unable to collect royalty payments from oil and gas taken from those leases because they lacked the threshold language. If prices remain high, lost royalties “will be in the billions of dollars,” he acknowledged.
Houston Chronicle: March 5, 2006 TRANSOCEAN HAS NEW DRILL SHIP IN THE WORKS TRANSOCEAN, the world's largest offshore oil and natural gas driller, has been awarded contracts from Chevron Corp. that will lead to construction of a new deep-water rig and generate as much as $1.7 billion in revenue. The contracts include a new drillship that will cost an estimated $650 million to build and will be used by Chevron for five years, Houston-based Transocean said Wednesday in a prepared statement. The drillship will be Transocean's first new deep-water rig since 2001 and will be among the most expensive ever built. Chevron also extended agreements to use two other deep-water rigs. Transocean and other drillers have been reluctant to build new rigs without first having multiyear contracts in place for their use. With the most prized deep-water rigs in short supply and producers racing to capitalize on soaring energy prices, rents have climbed to unprecedented highs. The new drillship, to be named Discoverer Clear Leader, will be built at the Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering Co. shipyard in South Korea, Transocean said. Construction is expected to take 30 months, and the contract with Chevron is scheduled to start in the second quarter of 2009. The rig may generate revenue of $493 million for Transocean during the first three years, or an average rate of about $450,000 a day, company spokesman Guy Cantwell said. Rates during the final two years are linked to oil prices and are expected to range from $400,000 to $500,000 a day, he said. The Discoverer Clear Leader will be capable of operating in waters as deep as 12,000 feet and will be able to drill wells as deep as 40,000 feet, the company said.
