The Australian Oil And Gas Company Karoon Has Not Yet Found A Partner For Its Neon Offshore Oil Field In Brazil And Is In Negotiations With Potential FPSO Suppliers. The Company May Drill Another Well To Not Further Risk Development.

Last year, Karoon transitioned the blocks in the Santos basin containing two oil fields from the exploration phase to the next phase of development and production. As part of the transition, the oil fields, previously known as Echidna and Kangaroo, were renamed Neon and Goia, respectively. At the time, Karoon said it could make the final investment decision for Neon in 2018, but that did not happen.

In an update this Friday, Karoon reported that the Neon Development Plan is expected to be submitted to the national oil and gas regulator (ANP) during the third quarter of 2019.

This concept is still in place, and there will be an option to extend it over time, “as opportunities arise to create more value from nearby resources.”

The future tie-in options include the immersion fault block in the Neon field, the Neon Maastrichtian oil pool, the Goia oil field, and the Emu up-dip prospect.

“Following the adoption of the SDP concept, Karoon has undergone an extensive bidding process with service and equipment providers seeking to contract an integrated field development solution, including wells, subsea infrastructure, and an FPSO. These negotiations continued until 2018 and are still ongoing today,” Karoon said on Friday.

“According to the previous board, Karoon remains committed to reducing Neon’s equity before reaching the FID on development. Coinciding with the above work, a renewed farmout process for Neon and Goia is underway, with detailed geotechnical material recently made available to interested parties.”

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

A neighboring country of Brazil starts to profit billions from oil after the war in Iran, sees its economy grow at an unusual pace, and enters a silent dilemma that few countries can resolve without a crisis.

War in Iran complicates the situation, the government is considering holding back gasoline prices, and the new minister says that if necessary, the country may even go into more debt to protect families.
