ExxonMobil to proceed with Liza oil development in Guyana
MARKET PROSPECTS II will produce 50 000m² of drinking water per day and require approximately 13 000m² of membrane area, which will be delivered and installed in 2018.
IDE Technologies completes re-commissioning of Californian desal plant

DE Technologies has completed the reactivation of the Charles E Meyer Desalination Facility in Santa Barbara, California. The plant is now distributing desalinated water into the city’s water system utilising IDE’s seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) technology. It will produce nearly 3.0 million gallons per day to meet 30% of the city’s demand. “The desalination plant’s design includes high-efficiency pumps and motors that reduce the plant’s overall electrical demands by 40% compared to the last plant,” reported Joshua Haggmark, the City of Santa Barbara’s Water Resources Manager. “Restarting this plant puts the city in a position to better manage water shortages through a more diversified supply mix.” The city’s water supply portfolio includes local surface water, state water, groundwater, recycled water, water conservation, and now desalinated water. “Our advanced desalination technology and engineering expertise has made the Santa Barbara desalination facility more energy-efficient and the water supply more affordable,” said Gilad Cohen, CEO of IDE Americas. “The drinking water produced by the plant allows the city to meet its water requirement while utilizing natural sources alongside continued conservation efforts.”

xxon Mobil Corp has decided to go ahead with the first phase of development for the Liza field, located offshore Guyana.
June 2017
The Liza Phase 1 development includes a subsea production system and a floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel designed to produce up to 120 000 barrels of oil per day. Production is expected to begin by 2020, less than five years after discovery of the field. Phase 1 is expected to cost just over US$4.4 billion, which includes a lease capitalization cost of approximately US$1.2 billion for the FPSO facility, and will develop around 450 million barrels of oil.

The Yakaar discovery, along with the Teranga discovery, creates the foundation for a further LNG hub in the basin. BP and Kosmos will now drill three additional exploration wells over the next 12 months offshore Senegal and Mauritania.

Keyera services oil and gas producers in Western Canada and transports natural gas liquids such as propane, ethane, butane, condensate and iso-octane throughout North America. Jacobs will provide engineering services for Keyera’s Wapiti Liquids Handling & Gas Processing Facility. This is part of Keyera’s Wapiti Development project that is constructing a natural gas gathering and processing complex in the Wapiti area south of Grand Prairie, Alberta. The new facility is expected to process up to 300 million cubic feet of sour gas and 25 000 barrels of field condensate per day. Keyera is also looking at connecting the new complex to its existing Montney asset base and network.
