Petrobras and partners make deepwater discovery on BM-S-9
RIO DE JANEIRO: Petrobras and a consortium of partners have discovered light oil in the pre-salt reservoirs of Block BM-S-9, a block in the ultra-deep waters of the Santos Basin offshore Brazil.
The BM-S-9 is composed of two evaluation areas: the area of well 1-BRSA-491-SPS (1-SPS-50), known as Carioca, and the area of well 1-BRSA-594-SPS (1-SPS-55), called Guará. The new well, 4-BRSA-709 (4-SPS-60), called Iguaçu, is located in the evaluation area of Carioca some 340 kilometers (211 miles) off the coast of the State of São Paulo in 2,140 meters (7,020 ft) of water. The well was drilled by Diamond Offshore drillship Ocean Clipper. The discovery was proved by means of an oil sampling made via a cable test in reservoirs located at a depth of 4,900 meters (16,076 ft).Brazilian regulatory agency ANP has been informed of the discovery. The consortium will give continuity to the activities and investments that are required to evaluate the fields discovered in this area pursuant to an evaluation plan approved by the ANP. A new well is expected to start being drilled in the area within the next few days.Read More

‘Royal Star’: New era, same reliability
USA: The reliable Cummins six-cyliner in-line marine diesel is among the most popular engine on commercial fishing boats from Seattle’s classic long line halibut schooners to Gulf of Mexico Shrimpers.
In southern California the 26-metre by 7.3-metre ‘Royal Star’, a sport fishing boat out of San Diego, has run up a lot of hours on a pair of these legendary engines. Extended fishing trips with an enthusiastic group of recreational fishermen have routinely taken the ‘Royal Star’ well into Mexican waters and, on occasion further south in Central America.The boat was built by Ted Dunn on a Poole hull into which he incorporated many of his design concepts. These included, in addition to the original Cummins engines, integral, structural and mechanical features in a manner that separates the ‘Royal Star’ from several similar vessels operating in southern California.
