DSME, Songa rig dispute deepensNorwegian rig contractor Songa Offshore says it is not responsible for losses incurred by Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering during the construction of one of its rigs.Songa said Tuesday it had received $199 million in claims submissions from the Korean shipbuilder for costs related to the semisubmursible Category D Songa Equinox.DSME asserts that inherent errors and omissions in the rigs design led to cost overruns and construction delays, but Songa says these claims are without substance.DSME is responsible for the delays and any attempt to recover cost overruns is of no merit due to the turn-key nature of the construction contract, Songa said in a release.The confrontation is part of a larger dispute surrounding four Category D rigs: Songa Equinox, Songa Endurance, Songa Encourage and Songa Enabler.?DSME launched arbitration proceedings?in July.Statoil has hired all four rigs on eight-year firm contracts.Songa Offshore与大宇造船陷超支纠纷海上钻井承包商Songa Offshore和大宇造船就“Songa Equinox”号半潜式钻井平台的建造合同发生纠纷。 Songa Offshore已经成功接收“Songa Equinox”号，这是4座Category D型半潜式钻井平台中的首座，该钻井平台租给挪威国油，已经在10月抵达挪威海域。 2015年7月，Songa Offshore从大宇造船收到Category D型钻井平台建造合同的仲裁通知，然而当时大宇造船并没有说明具体争议。 2015年11月16日，Songa Offshore收到大宇造船的通知，要求赔偿1.99亿美元。Songa Offshore表示，索赔涉及“Songa Equinox”号钻井平台建造成本超支。大宇造船指控图纸设计固有错误导致遗漏额外的工作，造成建造成本超支。 Songa Offshore已经对索赔进行初步审查，认为大宇造船没有任何索赔的权利。Songa Offshore表示有信心坚持自己的立场，认为大宇造船延迟交付、企图收回超支成本是没有任何法律依据的，违反建造合同“交钥匙”的本质。Statoil to exit Alaska??17 November 2015 14:23 GMTStatoil has decided to exit Alaska, as the leases in the Chukchi Sea are “no longer considered competitive within its global portfolio”, the Norwegian state-owned player said on Tuesday.The decision to drop its exploration portfolio in the area will mean leaving behind 16 Statoil-operated leases and its stake in 50 leases operated by ConocoPhillips.The leases, awarded in the 2008 lease sale, expire in 2020.Following the exit, Statoil will also close its office in Anchorage, it said.Since 200
