EnQuest and Bumi Armada working hard to return to normal at North Sea oilfield
UK operator EnQuest has acknowledged there was an operational fault that forced the shutdown of the Kraken offshore oilfield in the North Sea and that it is working to return to pre-shutdown levels of production.
The field was shut down in late May following a sudden failure of hydraulic submersible pump (HSP) transformers on the Armada Kraken floating production, storage and offloading vessel, as reported by the FPSO’s owner Bumi Armada on 2 June.
Tomorrow they will start mooring a tanker to the Kraken FPSO. Means that there is income for BAB, albeit not as much as there should be. ___________________________________________________________ The current position of INGRID KNUTSEN is at North Sea reported 3 hours ago by AIS. The vessel is en route to KRAKEN FPSO, sailing at a speed of 7.5 knots and expected to arrive there on Jun 30, 11:00. The vessel INGRID KNUTSEN (IMO: 9649225, MMSI 235103057) is a Crude Oil Tanker built in 2013 (10 years old) and currently sailing under the flag of United Kingdom (UK).

KUALA LUMPUR (June 27): Hong Leong Investment Bank (HLIB) Research said it upgraded Bumi Armada Bhd (BAB) to “Buy” (from “Sell”) with an unchanged of target price of 54 sen, as it believes the risk and reward ratio of the stock has turned attractive following a 25.6% plunge month-on-month.
In a technical tracker on Tuesday (June 27), the research house said that to recap, BAB announced that the group’s heavyweight Armada Kraken FPSO, which accounted for approximately 35% of the group’s FY22 revenue, was shut-in following the failure of critical hydraulic submersible pump transformers.
“While the exact duration of downtime and financial impact were not disclosed at the time of the announcement, we have made an arbitrary assumption of a six-month downtime for the said FPSO, resulting in a 38% cut in FY2023F earnings.
“The lack of clarity from the management, coupled with the anticipated negative impact from the FPSO shutdown, triggered a knee-jerk rout as investors sought to de-risk their portfolios,” it said.
HLIB said given the subsequent slide in the share price, most of the negatives would have now priced in and present an opportunity for bottom fishing.
“It is worth noting that our assumption of a six-month downtime appears to be conservative, as BAB recently announced on June 21, 2023, that the Armada Kraken FPSO has resumed operations and is currently running at 60% of its pre-shutdown production levels.
“If the earnings impact proves to be less severe than our initial estimation and market expectations, the upward adjustment in BAB's consensus earnings could lead to an upswing in BAB's share price.
“Technically, BAB is grossly oversold, with indicators on the mend. A successful breakout above 48 sen immediate resistance will spur prices toward 50 sen -54 sen-57 sen. Cut lost at 39 sen,” it said.
Any good news on Kraken? Resume 100% operations? Anyway, It is a matter of time Kraken to achieve 100%. When the related news come out, price will shoot up 5% at least.
