John C.S. Lau , President & Chief Executive Officer of Husky Energy Inc. (TSX:HSE), is pleased to announce that Husky Oil China Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Husky Energy, has made another significant gas discovery on Block 29/26 in the South China Sea.
The LH34-2-1 and LW3-1-1 exploration wells are Husky's significant gas discoveries on Block 29/26 in the South China Sea.
The West Hercules deepwater drilling rig recently completed the drilling and testing of the LH 34-2-1 exploration well. This well was drilled 23 kilometres northeast of the Liwan 3-1 Gas Field in a water depth of 1145 metres and encountered a significant thickness of excellent quality, gas charged reservoir. The well tested natural gas, with a high liquids yield, at an equipment restricted rate of 55 million cubic feet (mmcf) per day, with indications that the well's future deliverability could exceed 140 mmcf per day. The well is similar in character to the Liwan 3-1 wells. |

In developing mineral resources , the focus of project owners and key stakeholders is typically centred on the management of identified social and environmental impacts and compliance with regulatory requirements. Unfortunately, opportunities to protect and enhance the environment and communities are frequently overlooked, or not taken full advantage of. |

Oil giant Shell says it expects to develop two gas fields off Western Australia using new technology that could pave the way for many other projects to become viable. What exactly is LNG ?
Liquefied natural gas, or LNG, is natural gas that has been supercooled to
minus 260 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 162 degrees Celcius). At that temperature, natural gas condenses into a liquid. When in liquid form, natural gas takes up to 600 times less space than in its gaseous state, which makes it feasible to transport over long distances. So what engineering is needed in order to move forwards? Shell Gas & Power Developments BV (Shell) signed a master agreement on 28th July 2009 with a consortium comprising Technip and Samsung for the design, construction and installation of multiple floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) facilities over a period of up to fifteen years. Shell and Technip-Samsung also signed a contract for execution of the front end engineering and design (FEED) for Shell's 3.5 million tonne per annum (mtpa) FLNG solution. |
