The situation
  • 79 signals scanned from 26 sources. 21 companies remain in scope and 4 cross the hot threshold.
  • Seadrill leads the drilling contractors this week, and ConocoPhillips leads the operators.
Strategic insights
  • A reactivation decision can move fast once a contract is in sight, leaving little time to scope condition surveys.
  • Life-extension and removal programmes run in parallel, so scopes change as decisions land.
Recommended path forward
  • Offer a layup condition survey for West Phoenix and a reactivation-readiness workshop with Seadrill's Norway technical team.
  • Offer a structural integrity review of the oldest Ekofisk facilities to support the next life-extension application.
