InterMoor Part Of Milestone In Mexico's Energy Reform
HOUSTON-InterMoor reports it has
moored the first privately-operated rig
in Mexico's offshore waters since 1938.
InterMoor was contracted by Talos
Energy to moor the semisubmersible
ENSCO 8503 in the Bay of Campeche,
offshore Mexico. The asset is the first
privately-operated rig to be moored in
the area since the energy reform of
2013 opened Mexican waters to the
private sector, InterMoor says.
"InterMoor is proud to be at the forefront of the new exploration cycle in
offshore Mexico. These are important
times for the region, and this project
shows we are ready to help operators
new to the area with their local needs,"

comments Tom Fulton, InterMoor's global
president.
Fulton says the installation and hookup were completed on time and with
zero incidents.

FW Murphy Adds Feature To MLS Level Switches
SAN ANTONIO-FW Murphy Production Controls now offers an optional
test function on its MLS level switches.
The feature allows a user to push the
button that, in turn, activates the float.
FW Murphy says the button isolates critical components from damage while ensuring the MLS is working as designed.
"We listened to our customers. They
were asking for a dedicated test feature,
as we provided on the LM500 oil level
maintainer," says Rick Harris, the company's director of product management.
"The MLS with test function simplifies
preventative maintenance to the push
of a button."
The test button rotates and lifts the
float assembly, and positions the magnet

where it trips the switch and tests wiring
to the panel, FW Murphy describes. The
new option is a single-seal magnetic level
switch with an impenetrable barrier between the process side and electrical/switch
side. The company points out this solid
wall construction eliminates possible fugitive emission leaks from failed seals, and
also complies with ANSI/ISA 12.27.01.

Murphy Production Controls now offers an optional
test function that simplifies preventive maintenance
tasks. The company adds that the switch's design
keeps iron filings from accumulating on the magnet.

Tough Ceramic Proppant
Achieves Widespread Use
HOUSTON-The KRYPTOSPHERE®
HD high-density ceramic proppant from
CARBO Ceramics has been deployed by
every supermajor operating in the Gulf
of Mexico, CARBO reports.
KRYPTOSPHERE HD is an ultraconductive, high-strength ceramic proppant for deep, high-stress wells, Carbo
says. Initially it was engineered to solve
production and completion challenges
in the Gulf of Mexico's Lower Tertiary
Formation, where wells can experience
closure stresses as high as 20,000 psi.
According to CARBO, the proppant increases production and estimated ultimate
recoveries.
KRYPTOSPHERE HD's durability,
smoothness and sphericity make it more
resistant to cyclic loading and acids, as
well as significantly less erosive on frac
pumps and downhole tools, CARBO
reports. The company says these benefits
extend completion tool life, reduce rig
downtime, and provide overall cost savings.
