EnQuest nears completion of Vietnam oilfield acquisition

UK-based oil explorer EnQuest is nearing the completion of its $84m (£62.51m) acquisition of Harbour Energy's assets in Vietnam, with the transaction expected to be finalised within the next one to two months.
The deal will see EnQuest acquire a 53% equity interest in the Chim Sao and Dua oil production fields in Vietnam, marking a significant expansion of the company's operations beyond its traditional North Sea base.
EnQuest CEO Amjad Bseisu told Reuters: "We were excited about the asset there as we see development opportunities, and we also see some in-fill opportunities.
"So we will be looking, once we take over, to investing in the field and trying to increase its productivity."
In addition to its Vietnam venture, EnQuest is making strides in South East Asia with its involvement in the Seligi field offshore Peninsular Malaysia.
Gas production from this field is anticipated to commence next year, with output projected to rise from 14,000–15,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd) to 25,000boepd.
EnQuest is actively investing in gas exploration and production in the region, in collaboration with other energy majors, to cater to the surging power demand driven by population growth and the increasing number of data centres.
Bseisu stated: "Asia is our biggest growth engine now for gas."
Furthermore, in Indonesia, EnQuest is part of a consortium that was awarded the production and sharing contracts for the Gaea and Gaea II blocks in April. These blocks are strategically located near BP's Tangguh LNG plant.
Bseisu emphasised EnQuest's strategy in Indonesia, which focuses on discovering gas reserves in proximity to existing infrastructure.
He also pointed out that domestic gas production is favoured by governments over liquefied natural gas (LNG) due to the benefits of revenue generation, job creation and industry expansion.
EnQuest recently initiated a digital transformation by implementing Fennex's AI-powered Behaviour-Based Safety System across its UK assets.

TikTok parent ByteDance is shutting down its short-lived book publisher

TikTok parent ByteDance's book publisher 8th Note Press is closing up shop, according to a report from The Bookseller. Through its #BookTok community, TikTok has become an irreplaceable engine for publishers to drive book sales; even self-published authors have found unprecedented success by capturing a viral moment on TikTok. TikTok's parent company took the next logical step in 2023, figuring that if the app was revolutionizing book sales, then it may as well cash in on selling its own books. But ByteDance's foray into publishing is being cut short. While authors were drawn to 8th Note Press because it seemed like its affiliation with TikTok could drive sales, the press is now telling writers that it will shut down and give them their publication rights back. It's not clear why ByteDance has shut down the press after such a short lifespan. The company has not responded to TechCrunch's request for comment, nor has it responded to requests from any other outlets thus far. Sign in to access your portfolio

Petrovietnam and partners sign PSC for Block 15-1 oil and gas block

Petrovietnam, along with its joint venture partners, has officially signed a product sharing contract (PSC) for Block 15-1 on the Southern Continental Shelf of Vietnam. This move is pivotal in reinforcing Petrovietnam's commitment to further oil and gas exploration and exploitation, which is crucial for the stability of the nation's energy resources. Block 15-1 is considered a block of special strategic importance to Petrovietnam and the Oil and Gas Exploration and Production Corporation (PVEP). Initially, the block was operated by a consortium of five international and domestic partners. Following changes, Perenco has now assumed the operational role previously held by ConocoPhillips. The joint venture operates through Cuu Long Joint Operating Company (Cuu Long JOC), and is one of the few large-scale collaborations within the Vietnamese oil and gas sector. In the updated PSC, PVEP has increased its stake to 59%, with Perenco, KNOC, SK and Geopetrol holding 19.8%, 11.4%, 7.2% and 2.6%, respectively. Since its inception, Block 15-1 has been a significant contributor to Vietnam's oil and gas output, demonstrating high economic efficiency. It has been a cornerstone of the country's production for many years. The block, located in the Cuu Long basin, encompasses several active oil and gas fields. The Black Lion field, discovered in 2003, quickly became a focal point for offshore production in Vietnam, boasting estimated oil reserves of around 600 million barrels (mbbl). This figure is second only to the reserves of the White Tiger field. By 2024, the project was expected to produce more than 426mbbl of oil and more than 216 billion cubic feet of gas, generating revenues exceeding $31bn (VND812.57trn), with more than $15bn contributed to the State budget. Last month, PetroVietnam announced the commencement of the first commercial oil flow from the Đại Hùng oilfield phase three project.
