Suncor Energy Inc. has announced that its capital spending estimate for 2003 is USD 1.05 billion, with the majority of the investment allocated to the company's oil sands business. "Our capital spending plan illustrates that Suncor remains keenly focused on well managed and predictable oil sands growth," said Rick George, president and chief executive officer. "Capital investment in 2003 supports our plan of increasing oil production to half a million barrels per day over the next 10 years and achieving our goal of becoming one of the lowest cost oil producers in North America." Approximately USD 496 million of the announced 2003 capital spending is budgeted for oil sands growth projects. This includes spending to support stage 1 of the Firebag In-Situ Oil Sands Project, as well as construction of a new vacuum unit for Suncor’s upgrader. Combined, the two projects are expected to increase Suncor’s oil sands production capacity to 260,000 barrels per day in 2005. An additional USD 215 million investment will be directed to maintain competitive oil sands operations. This investment will be used to finance strategic and sustaining capital projects, including a spring maintenance shutdown to one of the company’s two oil sands upgraders.

Kerr-McGee plans to spend USD 1 billion on oilfield developments and exploration in 2003.
Its management has allocated USD 860 million in capital expenditure for projects involving floating production systems and subsea pipelines. It intends to spend USD 385million in the Gulf of Mexico on projects including Red Hawk and Gunnison, plus USD 170 million in the North Sea on three existing floating production systems. In the UK, the company operates a floating production platform on Janice and two production vessels on the Gryphon and Leadon fields. On Leadon, it took a USD 335 million charge during the fourth quarter of 2002 because the field did not perform as expected. It is looking at solutions including asset disposal, alternative development as a tie-back to Gryphon or to continue investing in the field with the floating production storage offloading unit. The company has allocated USD 105 million for other international developments including an FPSO-based project in China's Bohai Bay, which is due online in 2004.

The Philippine and British governments have inked a memorandum of understanding to co-operate in the energy sector, particularly in the development of the archipelago's indigenous and renewable energy resources, the DOE said. Under the agreement, the two governments plan to establish joint projects to develop indigenous energy resources, including the formation of a specialised energy technology centre. "The joint venture would also enable us to pioneer renewable energy technologies, cleaner fossil fuel technologies and power sector management methods, with the assistance of the British government," a DOE official said, adding, further details of the MOU remained to be worked out.

Oil and Natural Gas Corporation plans to invest Rs 3700 crore in deepwater exploration blocks over the next five years to enable reserve accretion to the tune of six billion tonnes of oil and oil equivalent, according to the ONGC Chairman and Managing Director, Mr Subir Raha. Of the six billion tonnes, four would be in the deepwater blocks with the rest in producing and frontier basins. "During the Tenth Five-Year Plan period (2002-07), we plan to invest a minimum of Rs 3,700 crore in 23 deepwater blocks," Mr Raha told newspersons here on Sunday on the sidelines of Petrotech 2003 conference. He added that investments would go up substantially in the event of discoveries.

Syntroleum Corporation and EurOil Ltd. have signed an agreement to jointly negotiate a production sharing agreement with the government of Cameroon for the production and monetisation of gas from the offshore MLHP-4 block. If negotiations with the Government are successful, the agreement also calls for joint assessment, development and production of natural gas and condensate in the Sanaga Sud field, which lies within Block MLHP-4. The right to negotiate a production-sharing license for Block MLHP-4 has already been awarded to EurOil and Syntroleum through competitive bidding, under the New Petroleum Code of the Republic of Cameroon. The Sanaga Sud field is located in the offshore Douala/Kribi-Campo basin, approximately 20 km NW of the city of Kribe. Mobil Producing Cameroon Inc. drilled the Sanaga Sud gas and condensate discovery in 1979 and appraised it in 1981 with two additional wells. There has been no subsequent drilling activity in Block MLHP-4 because of lack of markets for the discovered gas. Productive intervals for the field fall between 1000 and 1600 metres under the sea, in water depths of less than 20 metres. Total recoverable gas for the Sanaga Sud field is estimated to be in excess of 600 billion cubic feet.
"From our experience in Cameroon we concluded that the Sanaga Sud field, similar to other previously-drilled fields in West Africa, could be economically developed using Syntroleum's gas-to-liquids technology," stated Don Vandergrift, chief executive officer of EurOil. We have developed an excellent working relationship with Syntroleum and all of us are anxious to move ahead with the development of this project."
"The Sanaga Sud field in Cameroon, if converted to synthetic hydrocarbon liquids using Syntroleum's gas-to-liquids technology, could add substantial economic benefits to the country," stated Jack Holmes, Syntroleum's president and chief operating officer.

Petroperu plans to invest USD 40 million in refinery upgrades this year, CEO Hector Taco has said. Petroperu, which posted a USD 35 million profit in 2002, will finance the upgrades out of its own cash flow, Taco said, adding that Petroperu planned to tender out the contract in July. The investment would largely be allocated to Petroperu's 62,000 bpd Talara refinery on Peru's north coast, where the company aims to boost capacity to 90,000 bpd. Petroperu aims to use the USD 250 million, four-year project aims to produce higher-octane gasoline and install a catalytic cracking plant to boost kerosene and diesel output. Other modernisation programmes are planned at Petroperu's 10,000 bpd Iquitos refinery in the NE jungle and 8000 bpd Conchan operation south of Lima. Taco said Petroperu imported some 33,000 bpd of light crude, and that Peru's crude output was running at 95,000 bpd.

Foster Wheeler Ltd has announced that Chiyoda-Foster Wheeler and Company LLC has been awarded a contract by the government of Oman for the detailed engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) of a new liquefied natural gas (LNG) train at Qalhat, near Sur, Oman.

Titan Technologies Inc. has announced that its ability to generate electricity by using the gas and carbon black byproducts generated by its tyre recycling process has sparked considerable interest from tyre shredding operations. With a continuing effort to expand the market for the products from its TRTM recycling plants, Titan had been researching the use of its plants to generate electrical power. Titan is acquiring cost estimates from major suppliers of electrical generating equipment, including scrubbers that eliminate emissions from combustion of the oil, gas and carbon black produced by the TRTM process. Once these costs have been determined, Titan will develop an electrical generation business in different locations across the country. Titan believes that a TRTM plant is an economically viable electrical generation system. CONTACT (Titan): Ronald L. Wilder, +1 505 884 0272.
