Kua tīmata anō a BP ki te hoko i ana hea i roto i ētahi mara hinu o Te Moana-a-Kiwa, e ai ki te pūrongo a Reuters. I pūrongo te tari pāpāho kua karanga a BP ki ngā rōpū whai pānga kia tuku tono me te kore he rā kati.
I whakaae a BP i te tau kua pahure ake nei ki te hoko i ōna pānga i te rohe o Andrew me ngā mara hinu o Shearwater ki a Premier Oil mō te tapeke o te $625 miriona, hei wāhanga o āna mahi ki te hoko atu i te $25 piriona o ngā rawa i te tau 2025 hei whakaiti i te nama me te neke ki ngā taumata iti - te pūngao waro.
I muri mai ka whakaae ngā kamupene e rua ki te whakahou i te whakaritenga, ā, nā ngā raruraru pūtea a Premier i whakaitihia e BP tōna uara moni ki te $210 miriona. I hinga te whakaritenga i muri i te tangohanga o Premier e Chrysaor i te Oketopa 2020.
Kāore i te mārama te nui o te moni ka taea e BP te kohi mai i te hokonga atu o ngā rawa i te rohe tawhito o te Moana-a-Kiwa, engari kāore pea e neke atu i te $80 miriona te uara i te mea kua heke ngā utu hinu, e ai ki te pūrongo a Reuters.
E rima ngā mara hinu a BP kei te rohe o Andrews i raro i te mahere hokonga e whakaarohia ana ki a Premier i tēnei rā.
Kei te whenua o Andrew, kei te 140 maero ki te raki-mā-rāwhiti o Aberdeen, kei roto hoki ngā hanganga o raro moana me te papaaho o Andrew, e whakaputa mai ana ngā mara hinu katoa. I te tau 1996 i kitea ai te hinu tuatahi i te rohe, ā, i te tau 2019, ko te toharite o te whakaputanga i waenga i te 25,000 me te 30,000 boe. Kei a BP te 27.5% o te pānga ki te mara hinu Shearwater e whakahaerehia ana e Shell, 140 maero ki te rawhiti o Aberdeen, i whakaputa mai i te 14,000 boe i te tau 2019.
Ko te Journal of Petroleum Technology te maheni matua o te Society of Petroleum Engineers, e whakarato ana i ngā whakamārama me ngā kaupapa whai mana mō ngā whanaketanga o te hangarau tūhura me te whakaputa, ngā take o te umanga hinu me te hau, me ngā purongo mō SPE me ōna mema.
