Slower drilling pace likely in US, Canada during 2013 Jan 7, 2013 The year 2013 could be a lackluster period for overall well completions in the US and Canada with declines possible if not likely in both countries.
Strong drilling year seen in 2012 in US, Canada Jan 9, 2012 Drilling activity should remain strong in the US and Canada in 2012 after substantial year-to-year gains in 2011.
CNOOC starts natural gas production from East China Sea field Jul 29, 2014 China National Offshore Oil Corp. Ltd. reported the start of natural gas production from Lishui 36-1 field on Block 25/34 in the East China Sea.
EIA: OPEC’s 2013 oil export revenues fall 7% Jul 28, 2014 According to recent estimates from the US Energy Information Administration, members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, excluding Iran, earned about $826 billion in net oil export revenues in 2013, a 7% decrease from 2012 earnings.

Statoil installs Valemon topsides in Norwegian North Sea Jul 28, 2014 Statoil ASA has installed topsides for the Valemon platform on Blocks 34/11 and 34/10 in the Norwegian North Sea. Samsung Heavy Industries built the structure after receiving a 2.3-billion kroner contract in 2011.
EIA: Summer natural gas injection continues at a record pace Jul 28, 2014 The US Energy Information Administration’s current Short-Term Energy Outlook projects a record build of nearly 2,600 bcf from the beginning of April through the end of October, which would put inventories at 3,431 bcf at the end of October. In line with EIA's expectations, working natural gas storage midway through the summer storage injection season is on pace to for a record overall build.
