Chevron could restart oil production from the so-called partitioned zone between Saudi Arabia and Kuwait “relatively quickly”, chief executive Michael Wirth told CNBC in an interview.
Chevron has an agreement with Saudi Arabia to produce oil from the fields in the partitioned zone on its behalf. However, a territorial dispute between the Kingdom and Kuwait put production of oil there on hold four years ago.
Previously, two fields in the partitioned zone—Khafji and Wafra—pumped half a million barrels daily. Operational differences and a worsening in bilateral relations led to the suspension of production in 2015. Last year, there was talk about restarting joint production after the United States called on its Gulf allies to increase production to keep rising oil prices from going too high.
At the time, sources told Reuters Saudi Arabia had wanted more control over the joint oil production operations in the zone and the Kuwaitis had been unwilling to accept that.
Now, following the Saturday attacks on a Saudi oil field and a processing plant with a capacity of 5 million bpd, talk about joint production in the PZ is once again on the table.
According to Chevron’s Wirth, the attacks have highlighted the fact that there are real risks in the oil industry that could flare up at any time.
“Perhaps the market had grown a little bit comfortable with risks that we never became comfortable with,” Wirth told CNBC’s The Closing Bell. “These events demonstrate that those risks are real.”
Saudi Arabia and Kuwait resumed discussions about the restart of joint production from Khafji and Wafra earlier this year, with then-Energy Minister Khalid al-Falih saying he expected all differences to be settled by the end of the year. The outage the attacks caused last week at the Khurais field and the Abqaiq processing plant could add urgency to the discussions.

Inside Saudi Arabia's response to a raid on the heart of the oil kingdom
Author: Tan KW | Publish date: Fri, 20 Sep 2019, 10:45 PM

By Tuesday, the kingdom had managed to restore full supplies to customers by drawing oil from their massive oil inventories. The company also announced production would return sooner than expected – by the end of the month.
SOME IMPLICATIONS BY THESE ATTACKS
1) NOT SO EASY TO GO BACK TO FULL PRODUCTION SO FAST AS THOSE COLUMNS OF OIL PRODUCTION FACILITIES ARE AS HIGH AS 300 FEET
IMPORT AND TRASNSPORT AND INSTALLATION WILL TAKE TIME
2) FOR NOW THEY ARE DRAWING ON STORED OIL INVENTORIES. ONCE DRAWN DOWN THERE WILL STILL BE A SHORTAGE
3) SO THEY WILL TRY TO GET FROM SURROUNDING FRIENDLY NATION LIKE KUWAIT
4) SCOMIES(7045) WILL BENEFIT AS IT HAS A SUPPLY CONTRACT IN KUWAIT FOR RM600 MILLIONS OF DRILLING OIL SERVICE
5) SCOMIES WILL ALSO SEE MORE DEMAND FOR DRILLING OIL WORLD - WIDE AS MANY OTHER OIL ENTITIES WILL TAKE INITIATIVE TO EXPLORE AND DRILL FOR OIL. THIS IS AS A FORM OF INSURANCE PROTECTION DUE TO THE UNCERTAIN NATURE OF WORLD OIL SUPPLY DUE TO UNFORESEEN DISRUPTION LIKE THIS
6) SO THIS SINGLE ACT OF SABOTAGE ON SAUDI OIL FACILITIES HAS CHANGED THE EQUATION AND PROSPECT FOR SCOMIES
SCOMIES = THE ONE STOCK THAT HAS BEEN ENERGISED

Calvin replies:
1st. It was Saddam Hussein who invaded Kuwait and not Saudi.
Scomies has Rm610 Millions contracts with Kuwait Oil Corp
Since USA liberated Kuwait by Operation Desert Storm The Americans have a vested interest in Kuwait to recover their expenses
No one will dare to invade Kuwait again
To be continued...

NO LOSS LAST QUARTER IF YOU TAKE OUT RM72 MILLIONS FROM IMPAIR LOSS
THERE IS AN ACTUAL SURPRISE RM12 MILLIONS FROM OPERATING PROFIT
AND WITH THE NEWLY SECURED RM610 MILLIONS DRILLING FLUID SUPPLY JOB TO KUWAIT THE PROSPECTS ARE GETTING BRIGHTER
JUST LIKE CARIMIN, PENERGY & DAYANG TURNED AROUND DUE TO OGSE JOBS FROM PETRONAS -- SCOMIES ALSO TURNING AROUND
1) IMPAIRMENTS OVER
2) SECURED RM610 MILLIONS FRESH JOBS THIS YEAR
3) EVEN PETRONAS THROUGH PET CHEMICAL HAS GONE INTO JV WITH SCOMIES
See https://www.thestar.com.my/business/business-news/2019/06/26/petchem-signs-two-deals-with-scomi-energy
Pet Chem signed 2 Deals with Scomies

PETALING JAYA: PETRONAS CHEMICALS GROUP BHD has partnered with SCOMI ENERGY SERVICES BHD to jointly develop and market chemical solutions.
In a statement issued yesterday, Petronas Chemicals announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Petronas Chemicals Marketing (Labuan) Ltd (PCML) has inked two agreements with Scomi Energy’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Scomi Oiltools Sdn Bhd.
The first agreement was to formalise the ongoing research and development of chemical solutions mainly targeted for the oil and gas industry, which has commenced since 2016.
Meanwhile, the second agreement was for the commercialisation of a high performance water-based mud additive – the first product developed under the collaboration.
The additive is designed to improve shale inhibition in offshore and on-shore drilling activities.
According to Petronas Chemicals managing director and chief executive officer (CEO) Datuk Sazali Hamzah, the partnership is advantageous for both companies as it enables the creation of innovative and sustainable solutions for their customers.
“At Petronas Chemicals, the desired outcome of our product innovation is to create products for the marketplace that address the needs of our customers. This approach ensures our relevance in the industry and our role as a market leader,” stated Sazali.
Scomi Energy CEO Hilmy Zaini Zainal said that more newly efficient and commercially viable products could be developed to enhance drilling and exploration processes, via the firm’s collaboration with Petronas Chemicals.
“Our focus now is to promote the high performance water-based mud additive in both domestic and global markets,” he said.

And when to sell?
THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION
In Uzma Calvin saw Director buying 169,000 shares of Uzma worth 59.5 sen or Rm100.5K
See
https://klse.i3investor.com/insider/director/7250/09-Aug-2019/142276_1587188219.jsp
NOW UZMA ALREADY 91.5 SEN OR UP 57% AND YET THERE IS NO BURSA FILING THAT HE SOLD ANY. SO CALVIN WAITS WITH HIM TO SEE UZMA REACH RM1.00
AND NOW SCOMIES CEO (CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFER) BOUGHT 1.8 MILLIONS SCOMIES AT 10.5 SEN FROM THE OPEN MARKET (About RM189K - even more than Uzma director bought Uzma Rm100.5k)
See
http://www.bursamalaysia.com/market/listed-companies/company-announcements/6138909
On April 4th 2019 after he bought Scomies reached a high of 14 sen
See https://klse.i3investor.com/servlets/stk/chart/7045.jsp
LOOK AT CHART OF SCOMIES VERY VERY CAREFULLY AND YOU WILL SEE INTRADAY HIGH FOR SCOMIES ON APRIL 4TH WAS 14 SEN
SO CALVIN EXPECTS SCOMIES TO REACH RECENT HIGH OF SCOMIES AT 14 SEN AND ALSO TO CROSS IT CONVINCINGLY!!!
SO DON'T SELL THIS HIDDEN GEM OF SCOMI ENERGY
SCOMIES IS A RARE GEM THAT MIGHT YIELD 2 BAGGARS, 3 BAGGARS OR EVEN UP TO 10 BAGGARS LATER
10 BAGGARS STOCKS ARE SIFU PETER LYNCH' GREAT FAVOURITE
MAYBE SCOMIES QUALIFY AS ONE?
WE SHALL SEE MORE IN UPCOMING POSTS

Why scomies drilling oil was chosen by the Kuwait oil company?
These are the reasons:
1. Scomies special drilling oil is made from palm kernel oil. A technology developed by Scomi jv with German company.
2. Palm based scomi drilling oil is 100% biodegradable unlike other chemical oil. So it is an environmental friendly green tech bio-oil that can be discharged into oceans or seas safely
3. As Malaysia is the 2nd largest producer of palm oil.... The availability of cheap ingredients for Scomi drilling oil manufacture is cheap and in abundance
4. Scomi succeeded in this discovery because of 2 factors:
i) Malaysia already into Oil & Gas industry due to Petronas. So the development of drilling oil is an outgrowth in finding alternate type of drilling oil
And with German help Scomies created the only palm based biodegradable specialty drilling oil or drilling "mud" as they called it. See https://www.thestar.com.my/business/business-news/2003/06/06/scomi-bullish-about-new-drilling-fluid
2. Countries like Japan or USA or even Saudi don't have palm based drilling oil because they don't have too many palm oil trees there
Just like they don't have rubber gloves because only Malaysia got rubber trees and fresh latex. Fresh latex was what made Malaysia into a World Top Number One Champion of Rubber Gloves
Now Scomi has already captured more than 10% of the world's drilling oil business and is still growing.
With the focus on green tech more and more countries will switch to the superior lower cost of palm kernel oil based drilling oil of Scomies.
Scomies bought over the Drilling oil business from Scomi for over RM1 Billions. That was the best buy Scomies made.
