World´s first subsea production facility installed by Statoil |
|
The world’s first subsea production facility which separates water and sand from oil wells is being installed by Norwegian oil giant Statoil. Statoil says the Tordis subsea production facility – which works by pumping directly into the bedrock, avoiding the intensive route via a surface platform – will make it possible to recover an extra 35 million barrels of oil.
Tordis has left the Tonsberg yard in eastern Norway where it is due to meet the biggest offshore crane vessel in the world (Saipem 7000) which will install the facility on the seabed in the North Sea’s Tordis field.
The production facility is due to come on stream this autumn. |

Leoni´s sales figures rise 15% in first half of 2007
August 7, 2007| Today in manufacturing news we feature another story from Leoni who continue to expand and increase their turnover year in and year out. For the first half of 2007 sales were approaching 600 million euros and up 15% for this time last year. For full press details please read on:
Leoni´s sales figures rise 15% in first half of 2007 |
|
Leoni AG expanded further in the second quarter of 2007. Consolidated sales from the beginning of April to the end of June of this year rose by 15 percent versus the corresponding period in 2006, to EUR 590.5 million (2006: 512.0). Group-wide, earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) in the same period were up by ten percent to EUR 35.2 million (2006: 31.9). Based on this performance exceeding expectations, Leoni has raised its forecasts for the year as a whole: The Group now expects to increase consolidated sales to approximately EUR 2.3 billion in 2007 (from 2.1 in 2006).
Consolidated EBIT should, despite extensive pre-production expenses, once again be able to achieve the previous year’s record level with a figure of about EUR 130 million (2006: 130.2). Consolidated net income will probably climb to a new high of around EUR 83 million (79.3 in 2006). Compared with the same period in 2006, Leoni’s consolidated sales in the first half of 2007 increased by 19 percent or EUR 188.1 million to about EUR 1.2 billion (EUR 988.9 million in 2006). Of that increase, 38 percent were due to organic growth, 38 percent to companies that did not yet belong to the Leoni Group in the first half of 2006 and 24 percent to the increased price of copper. In spite of substantial pre-production spending on future projects, earnings before interest and taxes from the beginning of January to the end of June 2007 grew by five percent to EUR 69.2 million (2006: 66.1). Consolidated net income, favored by a non-recurring tax benefit, increased by 16 percent to EUR 44.6 million in the first half of 2007 (2006: 38.5). |
