With today’s announcement, BP has now entered into agreements to sell assets with a value of around $33 billion since the beginning of 2010. Completion of the deal is anticipated by the end of 2012, subject to regulatory approval. Net BP production from Draugen, which is operated by Shell, averages some 6,000 barrels per day. Significant investments have been made in Ula and the field is expected to produce until 2028. The Skarv project, involving a new floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel in the Norwegian Sea, is expected to produce for 25 years and to be a key hub for BP in Norway. The Valhall re-development project involves the installation of a new platform, extending production from the field out to 2050. With the start-up of Skarv and Valhall redevelopment, BP’s Norwegian production is expected to more than double, to over 60,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day. “These investments, together with our continuing operation of the Ula field, underline our long term commitment to Norway.” “BP is a significant investor in Norway and is in the final stages of completing two major projects, the Skarv field and the re-development of the Valhall field, which will greatly increase our production from the country,” said Rebecca Wiles, managing director of BP Norway. The agreement is a further example of BP’s active management of its portfolio in the North Sea, focusing investment on high value assets with long term growth potential, while realising the value of non-core assets. The hand drawn style suits the subject matter perfectly and the game overall looks pretty damn fun.BP announced today that it has agreed to sell its 18.36 per cent non-operated interest in the Draugen field in the Norwegian Sea to AS Norske Shell for $240 million in cash.

Floor KidsĪs you’ll gather from the opening part of the trailer, Floor Kids has garnered quite the selection of awards for its unique take on the dancing game concept. Irreverent and unique, we aren’t quite sure what to expect from The Textorcist, but we sure are intrigued. As an exorcist, the player must type to defeat demons and complete contracts to rid people of an errant demonic outbreak. The Textorcist can be described as a frantic typing, semi-religious, RPG with a dose of MetroidVania.
