Pacific Engineering Company Ltd. together with the Sakhalin cinematographers performed the expedition for searching of the sunken Japanese escort vessel CD112 torpedoed by the American submarine SS120 “Barb” in July, 1945. The search was conducted as part of the work on the historical documentary film “Secret of the Anastasiya Cape” of ANO “Creative association of Sakhalin cinematographers” (Director – Alexander Zarchikov). The survey was executed from the geophysical vessel “Diabaz”. Geophysicists of the company Oleg Novozhilov and Maxim Poznukhov explored the seabed by the side scan sonar, and Alexander Zarchikov coordinated the search. The works lasted more than 24 hours, vast area of Aniva Bay was scanned considering the surveys performed by the previous expeditions.
As a result, on November 22nd the sunken vessel was detected at the depth of 38 m at the Anastasiya Cape in Aniva Bay. The obtained sonograms fixed wreck of the war vessel 54 m long; the vessel bottom, deck-house and pipe are clearly seen. Large wrecks are observed all round, supposedly the stern destroyed as a result of torpedoing and detonation of the depth bombs.
Within the frame of the Regional investment board activity due to Sakhalin Region entering TOP-30 of the National Rating of the investment climate in 2020 Dmitry Pavlovich Cheremisin was rewarded with the Acknowledgement of the Governor V.I. Limarenko for the considerable contribution and active participation in the investment climate improvement, formation of the modern industry and construction infrastructure of Sakhalin Region and implementation of the civilized business principles.
On August 29th, 2019 there was a solemn event dedicated to celebration of the Day of oil and gas industry.
In honor of the professional holiday Vyacheslav Ivanovich Samisko, Chief of the offshore operations department of “Pacific Engineering Company Ltd.”, was rewarded with the Certificate of honor of the Sakhalin Region Government for the major contribution to development of the oil and gas industry of Sakhalin Region.
“Pacific Engineering Company” Ltd. has performed several large projects – both offshore ones on the shelf of Sakhalin Island and onshore surveys.
1. Offshore complex engineering surveys in the area of subsoil plot of federal significance including the field “Kaigansko-Vasyukanskoe-Sea”. The surveys were executed for construction of the exploratory well from the semi-submersible drilling rig (SSDR), for designing of the production complex and pipeline route from the site to the shore. Client – «Elvari Neftegas» LLC.
The following works were performed from survey vessel “Diabaz”: bathymetric survey by a multibeam echo sounder, hydroacoustic survey by a side-scan sonar, high resolution seismic, ultra-high resolution seismic, high-frequency and low-frequency continuous sub-bottom profiling, magnetometer survey and sampling; hydrometeorological and ecological investigations were performed. The following works were performed from survey vessel “Trias”: geotechnical drilling, СРТ, vertical seismic profiling (VSP) in the boreholes, field laboratory complex of the soil testing onboard the vessel. The works under the project “Kaigansko-Vasyukanskoe-Sea” will be continued in 2020 in accordance with the contract.
2. Offshore engineering geological and geotechnical surveys for development of the project documentation for the facility: “Sakhalin-1 Project” Arkutun-Dagi field. Central and Southern areas of Dagi structure. Construction of the underwater production facilities”. Client – “Exxon Neftegas Limited”.
The surveys were performed for positioning of the SEFDR (self-elevating floating drilling rig) for development of the areas of Central and Southern Dagi. Complex offshore engineering surveys were carried out for subsequent construction of the underwater production facilities including the patter wells, templates and flowlines. Survey vessel “Trias” was used under the project, the following works were performed from the vessel: drilling of engineering-geological boreholes, CPT, vertical seismic profiling in the boreholes. Complex of laboratory soil testing was carried out in the process of drilling works. The works have been completed in full.
3. Complex offshore and onshore engineering surveys for development of the project documentation for the facility «Sakhalin – 1 Project». Development Stage 2. Far-Eastern Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Production Complex. Offshore facilities. Onshore facilities». De-Kastri, Khabarovsk Territory. Client – Branch of the corporation “FLUOR DANIEL EURASIA INC.” (FLUOR), Technical Client – SNGT.
Jack-up drilling rig “Krot” and onshore geotechnical party were involved in the engineering-geological surveys. A new small-size tracked drilling unit “Korvet 05” was purchased for realization of the project. Five survey facilities have been completed under the contract, works at one of the facilities will be continued in 2020.
All laboratory tests under the projects have been performed in the stationary geotechnical laboratory. All works have been executed with strict observance of the safety requirements and environment protection.
The rating agency “Center of fuel and energy suppliers” interviewed the largest oil and gas companies for detection of the best potential suppliers of the industrial products and services required for development of the oil and gas shelf. The following companies were invited to the questionnaire: “Gazprom”, “NK Rosneft”, “LUKOIL”, Sakhalin Energy Investment Company Ltd., Exxon Neftegas Limited, “Gazprom dobycha shelf Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk” LLC., “RN-Shelf-Far-East” Ltd., “RN-Shelf-Arctic” Ltd., “Gazprom oil Sakhalin” Ltd., “Yamal LNG” OJSC and others.
34 Russian companies including “Pacific Engineering Company” Ltd. were estimated in the category “Oil service”. As a result “Pacific Engineering Company” Ltd. was declared the best Russian company, its score is 4.4 by the 5-point scale.
