Overall, stocks in the Online Retail Index fared worse than the broader market last week.
Groupon Inc.'s announcement after the stock markets closed Friday that it was restating its fourth-quarter earnings led to a 20% drop in the daily deal operator's stock price today. The fall came after a week in which Groupon led all stocks last week in the Internet Retailer Online Retail Index, gaining 8.4% over the prior week.
Groupon had reported in February it had a $42.7 million net loss in the fourth quarter, but Friday's announcement said the net loss actually was $65.3 million. Groupon also said it had $14.3 million less in revenue, and that its operating income was $30.0 million less than previously stated.
Groupon closed at $15.28 Monday, down 20.3% from its $18.38 close Friday.
Groupon also announced last week that it was buying FeeFighters, an online payment processing comparison service for merchants, adding to its small business services.
Overall, the Online Retail Index decreased 1.54% last week, a poorer showing than the broader market. The Dow Jones Industrial Average increased 1.00% and the Standard & Poor's 500 increased 0.81% last week.
The Online Retail Index tracks 25 publicly traded e-retailers and e-commerce technology providers.
Following are the best-performing stocks last week in the Online Retail Index and the percentage increase in stock price for each:
• Groupon, 8.4%
• Bluefly, 5.7%
• PetMed Express, 4.0%
• NutriSystem, 3.5%
• Keynote Systems, 2.1%
Following are the Online Retail Index stocks that performed least well last week and the percentage loss in stock price for the week:
• Overstock, -7.4%
• Coastal Contacts, -5.7%
• Shutterfly, -5.1%
• Netflix, -4.6%
• ValuClick, -4.6%
The 25 companies in the Internet Retailer Online Retail Index are: 1-800-Flowers.com Inc., Akamai Technologies, Amazon.com Inc., American Greetings Corp., Bidz.com Inc., Blue Nile Inc., Bluefly Inc., Coastal Contacts Inc., Digital River Inc., eBay Inc., eGain Communications Corp., Groupon Inc., Keynote Systems Inc., LivePerson Inc., Netflix Inc., NutriSystem Inc., Overstock.com Inc., PetMed Express Inc., Shutterfly Inc., Systemax Inc., U.S. Auto Parts Network, United Online Inc.

Admission for Two Adults
Haunted Acres • Candia, NH
Select dates in October
What you get
- $25 for Admission for Two Adults
- Multiple Dates in October
It's easy to be skeptical of the ghost hunters on TV -- from the comfort of your couch, the floating orbs seem about as creepy as a white sheet. For a real scare, explore eerie apparitions on your own with this deal from Haunted Acres: Pay $25 (regularly $50) for admission for two adults to the nightmarish New Hampshire attraction, including a haunted cemetery, two hair-raising houses, and a monstrous maze. You can choose to brave the grounds on select dates in October from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. For more than 20 years, these folks have specialized their scare skills, creating 46 acres of terrifying attractions to make your spine tingle -- so get this deal before it's in the grave for good.
ghouls gone wild
The expansive spooky space of Haunted Acres is modeled after the scary story of Area 52, a nuclear experiment facility that went terribly wrong. The grounds are reportedly haunted by the residents, and guests may bump into these ghouls as they make their way through the 42 acres. You'll have a frightening amount of fun in the Nightmare Walk, a quarter mile of treacherous woods to traverse in the dark. You can also explore the Graveyard of the Damned, full of roaming ghosts, and the Maze from Hell, a 2,500 square foot labyrinth of darkness. Wander the rooms of the 3D Nuclear Accident House where your protective glasses bring the mutant monsters to life, and visit Cell Block 13 to see the creepy corridors.

Kevin was a very knowledgeable guide, and he also had a sense of humor to add to the mix. We got to see a lot in a relatively short amount of time. So . . . Thumbs Up.
August 2016
This is a fabulous tour that really highlights the beauty and history of Panama City. Kevin is an amazing guide whose factual knowledge is limitless! Loved the personalized feeling of this tour!
August 2016
Brilliant tour guide, very knowledgable and personable. Great tour group, the best way to see the best parts of Panama City. Couldn't recommend it any more highly!
June 2016
knowledgeable, energetic, friendly.
June 2016
Great overview of the city, the history of Panama, and the Canal. Our guide was very knowledgeable, and had a passion for the city and the country. What a really wonderful way to be introduced to Panama! We now want to know and do more!
June 2016
The tour was outstanding with our guide and driver, Gonzo, demonstrating a thorough knowledge of Panama and the Panama Canal. We arrived at the Miraflores Locks just in time to see some shipping passing through the locks. Our guide, Gonzo, engaged us with anecdotal stories and facts about Panama as we toured the old city and during our luncheon at Di Ranchito, a local restaurant on the Armador, which turned out to be one of the best restaurants during our stay in Panama. In all, the tour was a very memorable one with no stone left unturned. It was a pleasure to be guided by the Barefoot Panama tour company they are the best. Don M. Washington, DC
May 2016
Very nice trip with a fantastic guide.The must to visit and understand Panama city in a small group of 4 pepole.Highly recommanded...............
May 2016
AWESOME! Worth every minute! Best way ever to see the city, canals if only in Panama for a short period.

people think i'm trolling but not all rumors are a good thing remember?
Mainstage closer saturday night.
Completely unfamiliar with LMFAO prior to seeing them on the AMA's last night. I can only conclude the group is some kind of an inside joke on the music industry.
Wow theres a huge gap for the whole month of April. Every Day LMFAO is Coachellaing
did the jersey shore make these guys popular?
November 6 - Sia
November 12 - Black Sabbath
December 1 - Kanye West
January 30 - Sleep

for some reason the two just seem to go together. i can't quite figure out why.

November 12 - Black Sabbath

Some people love LMFAO, its all over pop media.
I know many of us don't get it, it just happens, like Skrillex.
A friend of mine who works at Universal/Interscope tells me there is nothing really that great coming out of there but what sells. They just signed Nero. Now Interscope was one of the best record labels in the 90s and early 00s. The execs just like their ivory back scratchers more than music.
I don't mind LMFAO.
Voted Best Black Board Member 2010
I really want to know what the candy kids think of Bieber shuffling. Is rave not cool anymore? lol
Voted Best Black Board Member 2010
They at least try to perform, provide a charismatic performance, and obviously they are having fun the whole time. While I could care less if they are at Coachella or not, I would take them any day over that snobby high and mighty indie band who thinks they are going to come to coachella and just phone shit it in. At least at LMFAO people would be having fun and dancing and it would be shits and giggles.
Jumped out with Crystal Method in 09'. I think they were robots or something, but not that exciting and no material just providing backup, maybe an option.
They tried to keep this fact secret but Howard Stern was the one who originally brought it up..
LMFAO is an American electro pop duo that formed in 2006 in Los Angeles, California, consisting of rappers, producers, dancers, and DJs DJ Redfoo (Stefan Kendal Gordy, born September 3, 1975) and SkyBlu (Skyler Husten Gordy, born August 23, 1986). Redfoo is SkyBlu's uncle. Redfoo is also the son of music mogul Berry Gordy, SkyBlu a grandson. Their music incorporates a theme of partying and drinking, and the group commonly refers to their music style as "party rock".
"I'm at Coachella bitch."
They always have a guy dressed as a gold box head robot in their videos. I don't know what that is about, it reminds of Destructoid.
Was this the first band to use the label "party rock?"
I just feel like there must be soooooooooooo many other bands from the past that might be grumpy if only they had thought to label themselves as party rock bands.
Hell yeah LMFAO's music is a waste of time. And my decision to see LMFAO would be "beer garden or LMFAO". But I will back them regardless because they would put on twice the "performance" as a group like Swedish House Mafia.
Everything about a live LMFAO performance has fail written all over it...
The only silver lining is that if indeed you are in the crowd during their performance you could eventually come away from that set with a finger blast or a rub and a tug from the type of women who will be raging hard to some "Party Rock"
I would never want to belong to any club that would have someone like me for a member...
have they ever had a show that was not part of an awards show?
November 6 - Sia
November 12 - Black Sabbath
December 1 - Kanye West
January 30 - Sleep
July 3 - Roger Waters
These guys were staying at the hotel I work at a few months ago. I was working the late shift and when they came back from the after party they got in my face and demanded I get them alcohol. I told them that it was 3 in the morn and Cali law wont allow you to buy after 2. They then replied with " Do you know who we are? we can buy this hotel!" I laughed to myself then I kicked out one of their groupies who decided to pull up her dress and take a piss on the carpet in the lobby.... Good times

Living in New York is a dream.
It's like one big plot scene.
In the summer people using sunscreen.
Just close your eyes and watch your imagination.
At the beginning of the school year people getting vaccines.
New York plus rap equals a good combination.
I give New York people admiration.
Cops doing classifications.
New York were basically One Nation.
To get into a good college you need enough qualification.
Give me a little bit more clarification.
Look at the illusion of a illustration.
Spaces high elevation
The innovation of an invention.
Seeing my own mirror reflection.

Oceaneering International, Inc. ("Oceaneering") (NYSE:OII) announces that it has acquired the assets of Blue Ocean Technologies, LLC ("Blue Ocean"), a privately held provider of riserless light well intervention ("RLWI") services, for approximately $30 million in cash. Included in the acquisition are three RLWI systems, two of which are currently under construction, and are expected to be fully functional by mid-2017.
Oceaneering expects to invest approximately $10 million to complete construction of the two RLWI systems.
Subsea well intervention services are intended to maximize production and increase the recovery rate from offshore oil and gas reservoirs or, alternatively, prepare wells to be plugged and abandoned. Blue Ocean's RLWI systems have the capability to perform a wide variety of cost effective services for well interventions, including well diagnostics, damaged well remediation and workovers, and well plugging and abandonment. Blue Ocean's leading RLWI technology holds the current depth record for deepwater riserless intervention at 8,200 feet (2,500m).
Kevin McEvoy, Chief Executive Officer of Oceaneering, stated, "We are pleased to complete the acquisition of Blue Ocean, which we believe will enable us to further penetrate the subsea well intervention market and support existing and new customers with additional safe, cost effective subsea solutions. The services offered by Blue Ocean are complementary to our subsea products operations, and Blue Ocean will add talent and expertise that reflects our commitment to provide quality results with an integrated and expanded platform to drive growth. This acquisition fits our strategy on increasing our services and products offerings focus related to the production phase of the offshore field life cycle."
Oceaneering intends to report the future financial results of Blue Ocean through Oceaneering's Subsea Products segment, under its Services and Rentals business unit.

Its value estimated at NOK 350 million, the contract includes engineering, procurement and the construction of a pig receiver for the oil export pipeline from Johan Sverdrup.
In addition, the scope of work includes connecting the Johan Sverdrup oil pipeline to the existing storage caverns at the Mongstad terminal.
The engineering work will be performed at Aker Solutions' office in Bergen. The pre-fabrication of pipes and steel structures will take place at Aker Solutions' yard in Egersund, whereas the bulk of the construction work will take place at the Mongstad terminal.
"Starting in early 2017 the work at Mongstad will provide opportunities for local suppliers in the Mongstad area," says Kjetel Digre, project director for Johan Sverdrup.
"It is also gratifying that we can include Egersund as a location and contributor delivering on the enormous jig-saw puzzle that the Johan Sverdrup project represents. In Norway all of the big yards along the entire coast are now involved in developing one of the biggest industrial projects in Norway in recent years," says Digre.
Contracts at a value of more than NOK 60 billion have been awarded for Johan Sverdrup, more than 70 % of this won by Norwegian suppliers.

The world's leading manufacturer and supplier of Anti-Pollution and Safety Marine Breakaway Couplings (MBCs) has launched a series of new service packages that will allow end users of MBCs to maintain top level operational performance.
Offering four options, Gall Thomson will now provide customers of its field verified MBCs a flexible range of global service choices based on the customer's operational requirements and logistics.
Regarded as a vital component for the safe transfer of crude oil and refined products, Gall Thomson MBCs successfully saved nine countries from catastrophic oil spills during 2015 following 14 activations.
Called 'MBC4', the new packages are seen as a further step to improved and safer transfer of oil and refined products, as well as achieving minimum down time and offering peace of mind for operators.
The four new packages include In-Field Service, GTAC* Engineer Visit, GT Approved Regional Service Centre and Return to GT UK Technology Centre. All four can be called upon for inspection, refurbishment or resetting of Gall Thomson MBCs.
Max Virgin, MD of Gall Thomson sees this new range of services as a way to consolidate the company's reputation as the global leader in its field, with the ability to better service their customers' needs and also feedback information into the continual product development process.
Max said: "Key to this approach is to support customers with a range of inspection and maintenance services to preserve the integrity of the MBC. As Gall Thomson is considered the industry standard with almost 2000 MBCs in service, MBC4 is complimentary to this strategy.
"The operational performance of Gall Thomson MBCs in 2015 speaks for itself. Making sure an MBC is in top working order is vital so that should an offshore accident take place the device will activate as intended when called upon and mitigate the risk of equipment damage and pollution.
"Having four options is the ideal solution for inspection, refurbishment, resetting, repair and upgrade where applicable, and gives our customers total flexibility."
For those wanting to conduct an In-Field Service, work can be carried out by the operator's own maintenance staff using standard tools and equipment and a Gall Thomson spares kits/maintenance manual. No specialist tools are required and no additional equipment is needed such as assembly frames or complicated apparatus.
There are thee further options available to customers which carry the Gall Thomson Warranty and GTAC certification.
For GTAC Engineer Visit a qualified Gall Thomson engineer will conduct a site visit to carry out the work and is ideal for inspection, refurbishment or resetting.
The GT Regional Service Centre and Return to GT Technology Centre options will see the MBC serviced at one of Gall Thomson's nine strategically located centers. Both are ideal for inspection, refurbishment, resetting and repair work.
Max added: "Our technology is proven in the field with more than 37 years of field experience and over 270 successful activations to date.
"Constant interaction with terminal operators and with hundreds of MBCs serviced both at home and abroad, has allowed Gall Thomson to amass an unrivalled knowledge bank on operational performance and best practice, providing our customers tailored servicing, MBC handling and operational procedures.
"The culmination of this lends itself to the reliability of the Gall Thomson MBC which has prevented millions of pounds worth of damage to offshore systems and protected the environment from oil spill."

Underwater technology company, Sonardyne International Ltd, has appointed Scandinavian Aerospace and Industry AB (SAI) as a reseller of its maritime security products in Sweden, Denmark, Finland and surrounding territories.
Based in Tyresö, Sweden, SAI supplies, supports and integrates commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) technologies for air, land and sea applications. It works with industrial and defense organizations across Scandinavia including harbor authorities, naval forces, maritime enforcement agencies and shipyards. Under the terms of the new agreement, SAI will now promote Sonardyne's family of underwater security products; Sentinel IDS, NOAS and high resolution mine hunting sonar, Solstice.
Sonardyne has appointed Scandinavian Aerospace and Industry AB as a reseller of its maritime security products in Denmark, Sweden, Finland and surrounding territories.
Sentinel is the security industry's most widely deployed intruder detection sonar, capable of reliably detecting, tracking and classifying divers and small underwater vehicles approaching a protected asset. Whether it is safeguarding a critical national infrastructure facility, strategic port or naval vessel at anchor, Sentinel provides a rapidly deployable, 360° underwater security solution for any scenario.
SAI is now amongst the first of Sonardyne's resellers to have the opportunity to market the recently introduced Navigation and Obstacle Avoidance Sonar – NOAS. Installed in the bow of a vessel, 2D and 3D sonar arrays scan the water column looking for navigation hazards that could result in a collision or grounding. The system can be used as a standalone navigation aid or integrated into a vessel's existing bridge management system.
Commenting on the appointment, Hans Sandström, Business Development Director with SAI said that the company was delighted to be adding Sonardyne to their portfolio of maritime surveillance capabilities. He said, "For many organizations, the underwater domain remains a vulnerability in their security and navigation capabilities. However with technologies such as Sentinel now available to us, it is one we can now help our clients to close."
BRUNEI has become the first country in the world to commission International Minimum Industry Standard Training (IMIST), reaffirming its strong commitment towards ensuring the safety of its 20,000-strong oil and gas industry workforce.
Following the Bruneian government's undertaking to put around 3,000 front line worksite supervisors through the OPITO global standard for health and safety training earlier this year, the country has now set a deadline of November 2017 to roll IMIST out to people in this role.
IMIST was launched by not-for-profit industry safety organis\zation OPITO in 2011 to enhance workforce safety and competence by providing a comprehensive and consistent level of training across the world. The standard ensures that workers – no matter where they are based or who they are employed by - have the necessary safety awareness and training to reduce risk and minimize the potential for incidents.
Used by oil and gas companies in almost 50 countries around the world, Brunei is the first in the region to introduce its use for workers engaged in exploration and production activities.
Steve England Head of HSSE at the Energy and Industry Department Prime Minister's Office said: "The energy sector is a core driver of Brunei's economy. It accounts for more than 60 percent of Brunei's GDP. In line with our National Vision 2035 to have sustainable energy for Brunei Darussalam's prosperity, we aim to boost the skills of Bruneians to achieve the vision's goals. The introduction of this first phase of minimum HSE standards is the beginning of our (HSSE's) commitment towards that vision.
"The Bruneian government has undertaken to put approximately 3,000 front line worksite supervisors through the OPITO global standard for health and safety training. We have set a deadline of November 2017 to roll IMIST out to its entire oil and gas front line worksite supervisor workforce."
Delivered in classroom and digital learning format, three already approved invigilation centers will now provide the training to industry: Mahkota Maju Sdn Bhd, Brunei LNG and Megamas Training Company Sdn Bhd with more to follow.
David Doig, chief executive officer of OPITO Group said: "Every worker has the right to go to work and return safely at the end of the day. Our mission is to support the global oil and gas industry to build a sustainable, competent and safe workforce and to ensure that quality, innovation and partnership underpin everything that we do.
"IMIST provides uniformity in training and ensures that everyone, regardless of their employer, role or discipline, has the same basic safety understanding and can perform their role to the same standard. We have worked closely with the Brunei Government on the implementation of IMIST and firmly believe their commitment will set a precedent in terms of how energy-producing nations train their workforce."
A unique, not-for-profit organization, OPITO is wholly owned by the oil and gas industry and is responsible for ensuring it has a safe, skilled and competent workforce. With operation centers in Aberdeen, Dubai, Cyprus, Kuala Lumpur and Houston, OPITO standards, qualifications and workforce development frameworks are currently used by employers in over 45 countries worldwide.
Eni announces that the naming ceremony of the "Armada Olombendo" floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel was held this week in Singapore. The FPSO shall operate in Block 15/06, offshore Angola, for the East Hub Development Project. The vessel will soon be ready to sail to its final destination where, once in position, will commence mooring and hook-up operations.
Eni and its partners have reached a key milestone towards achieving the first oil from East Hub Development Project, which is planned by the first half of 2017. This follows the successful stream of start-ups in the West Hub Project, in the same Block 15/06, which is the only Block of those awarded in the 2006 bid round that has achieved production.
The East Hub Development Project encompasses 9 subsea wells, of which 5 are producers and 4 are water injectors, in water depth ranging between 450 and 550 metres. The hydrocarbons which are produced from these wells will be transported via a pipeline system to the FPSO to be treated and stored prior to export.
Eni is the Operator of Block 15/06 with a 36.84% stake. The other partners in the joint venture are Sonangol Pesquisa e Produção (36.84%) and SSI Fifteen Limited (26.32%).
Eni has been present in Angola since 1980 with net current production of 135,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.
Launched on Monday, October 17, 2016, the powerful EV2 decision support platform enables oil and gas clients to determine the value of undrilled exploration acreage in the world's most prospective basins. Combining the geological expertise of CGG Robertson with the commercial insight of Wood Mackenzie, EV2 represents an industry first in terms of coupling a flexible valuation tool with a rigorous and detailed geological knowledge base in an intuitive environment. Wood Mackenzie is a Verisk Analytics (Nasdaq:VRSK) business.
EV2 global coverage map, indicating the 100 priority basins now available in light blue and the additional 80 basins to be released by 1H17 in dark blue.
EV2 differentiates volume and value potential at basin, play, and block scales and combines this analysis with unique functionality, such as the ability to change underlying subsurface modeling assumptions. Users can incorporate proprietary knowledge from seismic, geologic data and in-house expertise to calibrate yet-to-find reserve assumptions, subsurface risk maps, and oil price assumptions. Custom scenarios allow quick comparison of farm-ins, license rounds, and new deal opportunities for new ventures teams, petroleum economists, and financial analysts.
The platform now covers 100 priority basins around the world in areas with leading exploration potential, upcoming license rounds, and high-profile prospects to help clients secure the best value return on their investment. A further 80 basins will be released between now and March 2017, resulting in a comprehensive global data set. EV2 allows users to value corporate acreage portfolios in an objective, comparable, and consistent manner, helping to fill a critical gap in the market.
The EV2 platform is prepopulated with detailed basin, play, and block data, distinguishing it from other offerings that simply provide modeling software. The solution delivers baseline geologic assessments, including play-level maps of combined common risk segment (CCRS), lead density, and hydrocarbon phase. Statistical yet-to-find (YTF) analysis, field development scenarios, and block-specific fiscal terms are also transparently presented in EV2. This data provides trusted insight to expedite the new ventures workflow.
Sophie Zurquiyah, chief operating officer, Geology, Geophysics & Reservoir, CGG, said: "Following industry interest in the prerelease EV2 ten-basin analysis multi-client product in 2014, we are delighted to be delivering the EV2 valuation platform. With our strategic ally Wood Mackenzie, we will continue to expand and update this offering to ensure it brings our clients accurate and reliable insight to increase their chances of success. At a time of continued low oil prices and reduced exploration spending, we believe EV2 will provide crucial input to explorers that will reduce the risks and increase the value of their decisions."

Maersk Oil has awarded a long-term contract to Lloyd's Register for a comprehensive suite of asset integrity services to support the development of Maersk Oil's offshore operations in an efficient, safe and environmentally responsible manner.
Lloyd's Register will provide support in key areas of operational risk – change management, contractor management, inspection plans and reporting, asset optimization, risk-based assessments and written schemes of examination. Additional areas of technical expertise will also be provided on structural and pipeline integrity management systems, and corrosion monitoring.
"Ensuring consistent standards of integrity services across a network of high-value offshore assets is an increasingly complex task. Operators often face challenges that arise from differing operating regimes across different structures, work cultures and levels of asset maturity," said James Drummond, VP Asset Integrity and Development Solutions from Lloyd's Register.
Lloyd's Register has a long standing relationship with Maersk Oil globally for the provision of integrity and compliance services, and has held the Integrity Contract with Maersk Oil UK since 2005, a testament to the quality of service provided and a commitment to improving the performance of its clients' operations.
Although a key focus of the contract is to mitigate major threats, Lloyd's Register experts will provide oversight in to the operation of each asset and also address challenging exploration requirements and specific operational needs.
"We are proud to be working with Maersk Oil to help enable their continued focus on safe production and operations to reduce risk. Lloyd's Register is one of a very few third-party assurance providers with the diversity of technical expertise to fully support multinationals in this area, and we believe this agreement recognizes that," highlights Drummond.
Leading international energy logistics group Peterson Offshore Group BV ("Peterson"),has announced its consolidated results for the 12 months ending 31st December 2015.
Commenting on the Group's performance Erwin Kooij, CEO of Peterson said:
"Peterson has remained profitable in what continues to be a challenging time for the energy sector. We remain committed to supporting our clients to deliver safe, innovative, cost effective solutions that enable collaboration and drive efficiency in the supply chain. Throughout the downturn we continue to invest in the design of unique concepts, technology, equipment, infrastructure and in our people. In 2015, we committed £3.1m which included new cranes, trucks, trailers and SPMT's (self-propelled modular transporters)."
The group's UK based companies, including Peterson UK Ltd, 80:20 Procurement Services, Peterson Freight Management and Streamba Ltd contributed 50% of the group's operating profit, with Peterson investing in new international opportunities. North Sea revenue1 was down on 2014 at £207m generating profit before tax of £4.4m down 32% on 2014.
We successfully retained existing contracts with Maersk, BP, ENI, Centrica, and were awarded new contracts with TAQA, Transocean and ONE. We are working in close partnership with a number of operators to establish a vessel pool to share resources in the Central & Northern North Sea (CNNS), similar to our long-established and successful model in the Southern North Sea. Our decommissioning facility in Great Yarmouth, which we opened in 2015, is now fully operational, and secured its first substantial decommissioning contract. We were awarded2 two long term contracts to provide logistics support for Statoil's Dudgeon offshore wind farm; and we are firmly into the operational phase with our nuclear industry business.
We continue to invest to take our North Sea experience overseas. We opened new offices in Trinidad and Malta to support customers in these regions and we successfully secured a number of international logistics projects. Significant investment has been made in expanding the geographic footprint of our procurement business 80:20 and we are now operating in Norway, the Netherlands, Houston and Malta.
Our ongoing commitment to technology is focused on driving efficiency and generating maximum value across our clients' logistics operations. We made significant investment into broadening our eSuite technologies. With a continued focus on asset utilisation across the industry, our new eHire application provides simple and effective visibility and control over all third party rentals, whether regular or high cost rental; and our receipt, store and pack tools support bar coding and Warehouse Management.
Sitting above all our applications is our unique proprietary technology VOR that seamlessly connects people directly and in real time to inventory and assets throughout the supply chain. VOR provides transparency, from ordering a piece of equipment quickly, to seeing what space is available on a vessel to ship it offshore, enabling better, data driven decisions.
Our people are fundamental to our ability to deliver operational excellence and we increased our headcount by 6% in the last year and currently employ 400 people in the Aberdeen area. We made a number of key appointments to further strengthen our management team and support the next phase of the company's growth.
Our parent company approaches its centenary with a strong balance sheet, this enables us to take a long view, invest for the future and allows our clients to trust in Peterson."

1. Revenue, inclusive of vessel charters was down sharply on 2014, mainly driven by the reduction in vessel charter day rates with oversupply of vessels.
Total commercial stocks fell 5.1 million barrels this past week led by an almost 10 million barrel stock decline in products, with refinery turnarounds near peak levels. The 3.7 million barrel reported distillate stock decline was one of the largest this year, signaling the U.S. is in the heart of the harvesting season. Reported U.S. crude stocks now exclude lease stocks, which lowered them by roughly 30 million barrels, and week to week crude inventories built 4.8 million barrels largely because of low runs. Cushing crude stocks fell 1.3 million barrels this past week and are forecast to decline 2.3 million barrels next week because of Basin pipeline maintenance. Another large stock decline is forecast for distillate next week (-580 MB/D) with another strong pull from the farm economy, while gasoline inventories modestly build from weaker demand because of the Columbus holiday and the aftereffects of Hurricane Matthew.
Dependency on Lower 48 gas will likely increase next year as expanding domestic production losses leave a widening import gap to serve incremental demand growth. In particular, another round of PEMEX budget cuts has recently been approved, setting the stage for oil and gas production to fall by more than 10% year-on-year. Fortunately, a host of critical infrastructure projects is set to emerge in 2017, enabling imports to meet the organic demand growth within the power and industrial sectors.
With APLNG T2, the last train of the six coalseam projects in Australia, starting production, China plays a key role. Not only does it have 25% equity in two of these unconventional projects, the second largest equity stake of any Asian buyer in any liquefaction project to date, but is also a big buyer from these projects. With a slowly recovering gas demand, LNG faces competition from increased domestic production and pipeline supplies.
Seaborne coal pricing was decidedly bullish this week, with continued tightness in the prompt market pushing forwards higher, particularly in Asia. 4Q16 and 1Q17 FOB Newcastle prices rose from last week as Chinese market players returned from the Golden Week holiday. FOB Newcastle prices are now up over 100% for the year. 4Q16 API#4 prices also jumped while API#2 prices finished the week down. Pricing in the Pacific Basin has shown virtually no signs of cooling off, particularly as coking coal price settlements have been confirmed at over $200/mt. With crossover supply moving into the coking coal market, there is not much prompt thermal coal supply that could come into the market to prevent further price gains.
The International Civil Aviation Organization agreed to adopt a market-based approach to cover global aviation GHG emissions, which requires acquiring and submitting carbon offsets to cover only the increases in international aviation emissions vs. 2019-2020 levels. Exact offsetting mechanisms eligible for compliance have yet to be specified, but the design of the program suggests that costs will be very low in the early years of the program. Voluntary country-level compliance begins in 2021, with mandatory compliance not starting until 2027. Efficiency initiatives also seek to reduce aviation fuel consumption, but PIRA expects aviation emissions to continue to grow, implying that increasing levels of offsetting will be necessary for compliance.
On-peak prices weakened in New England/Mid-Atlantic and Ontario but firmed in most other Eastern Interconnect markets — primarily due to warmer-than-normal weather. Loads in the East edged up 0.5% year-on-year, while ERCOT climbed 4.7%. Henry Hub prices through October have shown remarkable strength, especially in the context of waning shoulder season demand. In contrast, Appalachian prices have inflected sharply to the downside. Looking ahead, heating season power prices will likely lag year-on-year gas gains outside of the Northeast, reducing margins.
Regionally, Asian LPG markets performed best last week. Propane cargoes arriving in November were called 5% higher at $389/MT, and butane rose by the same amount in percentage terms to $418/MT. Butane's discount to naphtha narrowed to just $27, a price at which it becomes increasingly non-competitive as a petrochemical feedstock.
The S&P 500 moved lower on the week, with volatility up slightly, while high yield debt and emerging market debt moved a bit lower in price. The dollar was generally stronger. For commodities, there continued to be a slight upward bias, but ex-energy appears to have weakened a bit. There continues to be noted declines in the precious metals complex and an upward movement in long-term yields for a host of countries, with a lesser rise on the short end of the curve.
With fairly good weather last week, PIRA expects a 10-15% increase in both corn and soybean harvest numbers today. After posting a 35% completion rate as of last Sunday, PIRA expects that between 45% and 50% of the corn should have been harvested as of Sunday. In soybeans we expect a number close to 55% in this afternoon's report against 44% last week.
Crude runs eased once again, with higher crude imports such that crude stocks built 2 MMBBls. Finished product stocks drew, across the board, on higher demands. Gasoline demand was modestly higher and stocks drew 0.3 MMBbls to a new 2016 low. Gasoil demand was also modestly higher and helped draw stocks. Kerosene demand was hyped by secondary and tertiary inventories pulling on primary inventories. Stocks posted their first seasonal draw of 37 MB/D. Margins and cracks eased on the week for all the major products, but they staged a bit of improvement in the last few days. Margins in September and into October have improved nicely from the abysmal levels seen in August. Levels are now judged acceptable and supportive of rising runs, post-turnaround.
Coal-to-gas switching has been a big theme emerging in European energy since late last year, but only now are we seeing it come to a head. The switch has migrated from the U.K. to the Continent, which means a potentially larger swing in gas demand on a day-to-day basis. The major flag in recent weeks is that, despite a strong push in European gas prices of more than 50%, we haven't seen gas-to-power demand disappear. Coal prices have also experienced similar, if not greater, strength due to supply reductions, and it looks like what was once a gas market that was desperate to encourage flexible demand with weak prices is now unable to jettison it.
U.S. ethanol prices rose the week ending October 7 after a bullish DOE report and support from higher corn and oil values. Manufacturing margins declined. D6 RIN values were higher as the EPA will finalize the 2017 margins soon.
Prices increased in September with continued weak trading, but they slipped in October, with the final auction at the 2016 reserve price a month away. Going into the November 1 partial surrender requirements, sources hold enough CP2 compliance instruments to cover emissions through 2016 and free allocations for 2017 are also on the way. A severely undersubscribed November auction could see unsold allowances go to the Reserve, reducing CP2 supply. The market may deem the federal Canadian carbon price proposal bearish, but PIRA believes it can be aligned with WCI cap and trade. Environmental justice concerns over cap and trade have intensified, the market awaits the auction court decision, and critical emissions data releases are expected in coming weeks (CA, QC, perhaps ON).
Permian Basin crude and condensate production growth, as in other U.S. tight oil plays, has slowed dramatically this year. But in contrast to other plays, growth is likely to remain positive, both in 2016 and 2017. In 2018, Permian crude and condensate production is projected to rise more than 300 MB/D. New pipelines out of West Texas have more than kept up with production growth so far. Nearly 1.5 million barrels per day of takeaway capacity have been added in the past four years, creating a pipeline surplus of around a half-million barrels per day this year. As production continues to grow, this pipeline surplus capacity will erode. The only new pipeline project currently planned is a 300 MB/D Enterprise Products line from Midland to Sealy, slated for completion in 2018.
The latest EIA Monthly Crude Oil and Natural Gas Production (914) report broadly reflects PIRA's reference case, with all regions reported either flat or in month-on-month decline for July. However, the report fails to convey the complete narrative on real-time supply.
In September, global auto sales rose to their highest level on record. In the U.S., vehicle sales remained at elevated levels and played a key role in the expansion of consumer spending. In Europe, a jump in car sales during September sent an encouraging signal about industrial production. In China and India, major growth in car sales is driving gasoline demand substantially higher.
Pakistan's Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (Ogra) has said that no increase in the gas price for domestic as well as fertilizer feedstock was proposed by the authority. A spokesman clarified that a news item — that claimed an increase in gas prices by 36% was forthcoming — was not true. The spokesman further explained that the Ogra had issued its decisions with respect to SSGCL and SNGPL's petitions for determination of prescribed price for FY 2016-17 on October 6, 2016. In the case of SSGCL, Ogra determined the average prescribed price at Rs354/MMBtu ($3.37/MMBtu). In the case of SNGPL, Ogra had determined its average prescribed price at Rs480/MMBtu ($4.57/MMBtu).
One side effect of the ongoing French nuclear issues is the disruption of the historical interconnector flows across Europe. Those French flows with Spain are no exception. Last week, Spain turned into a net exporter to France, reaching a daily flow of 2 GW on Wednesday, a multi-year high in the fourth quarter. This amount of exports is occurring even in the context of relatively stronger demand in Spain (weather-adjusted loads are reported to be up 1.6% year-over-year), together with low hydro and wind output, supporting domestic Spanish thermal generation from both coal and CCGTs.
The announcement of Mexico's intention to export Maya to the USWC signals that the domestic refining system is struggling with operational issues and that the USWC could be an economically advantaged destination relative to Asia or Europe, the usual marginal Maya markets.
U.S. ethanol dropped 22 MB/D to 962 MB/D the week ending October 7, the lowest since June as some plants continue their seasonal maintenance. Stocks fell by 784 thousand barrels to 19.4 million barrels, the lowest level thus far in 2016. Ethanol-blended gasoline value was relatively flat.
Chinese car sales rose at a fast pace this year, and gains were particularly strong in September. The number of cars on the road, therefore, continues to expand rapidly, and gasoline demand is rising accordingly. PIRA's model, comprised of car fleet size, distance traveled, and fuel efficiency, pointed to recent demand growth of about 300 MB/D year-on-year, and this estimate was roughly in agreement with reported demand figures. Recent gains in truck sales were more modest, and pointed to a small increase in transport-related diesel demand.
Global equities were broadly lower on the week. In the U.S., utilities posted a moderate gain and consumer staples were little changed, but all the other indices fell back. Energy basically matched the market decline of about 1%. Internationally, Latin America moved higher, but all the other tracking indices gave ground. Most of those declines exceeded that seen in the U.S. market.
The new heating season is off to a cold start in Europe and Japan while weather is warmer in the U.S. With half the month completed and a second half forecast, October is expected to be 6% colder than the 10-year normal and 7% warmer on a 30-year-normal basis.
French nuclear outages are an ongoing factor, but EU carbon prices also rose in early October in sympathy with strong rises in thermal fuels prices. Continued gains in thermal fuels prices should support carbon prices in their current range for the balance of 2016. An EU Parliamentary committee (ITRE) approval of post-2020 market reforms seems positive, but a lack of substantive progress in a more important committee (ENVI) ahead of a December vote is concerning. PIRA is not currently building in additional 2016 policy support, but constructive negotiations ahead of ENVI's vote can push prices upward. Neither the supply nor the demand side support 2017 price gains, at a time when Brexit negotiations add policy risk.
At its Annual Client Seminar, October 6-7 in New York, PIRA tackled the subject of a challenging farm economy. Here is the presentation.

In a move to increase foreign investment amid the nation's worsening economic position, Brazil's Congress has approved legislation that will remove state-controlled Petrobras' obligation as sole operator on the country's pre-salt developments. Discovered in 2007, these ultra-deepwater fields represent a huge opportunity – they are the largest group of offshore reserves discovered this century.
Financial difficulties resulting from the ongoing low oil price environment, combined with the crippling impact from the "Operation Car Wash" corruption scandal, have slowed development in the prolific pre-salt fields, as mounting financial pressure has led the NOC to cut Capex plans and production targets. The opening of these deepwater assets to foreign investors is intended to increase development and production from the pre-salt fields, whilst allowing Petrobras to shift focus to more developed plays with existing infrastructure and lower Capex requirements.
Due to the significant potential the pre-salt fields offer, many international E&P companies can be expected to vie for a slice of the substantial pie – Shell has previously commented on the nation's need to open up to foreign investment. However, E&P activities in Brazil are largely controlled by Petrobras – the few internationals currently active in deepwater Brazil, namely Shell and Anadarko, may see themselves tied to commitments elsewhere. Shell's recent acquisition of BG sees the company bound to projects inherited through the deal; and Anadarko has the large Shenandoah discovery in the GoM, as well as advancing developments in Mozambique.
As such, the impact from last week's legislation change may not be as significant as the nation's government hopes. The current oil price environment has the potential to deter some operators from the huge Capex required for ultra-deepwater developments, particularly if not already present in the nation. However, if OPEC's recent announcement to cut production results in a significant oil price rally next year, it may become somewhat of a moot point, increasing the attractiveness of the pre-salt fields to international investors.

Paris, France – October 13, 2016
CGG announced that it has been awarded an extensive multi-client program by the Instituto Nacional de Petroleo (INP) to acquire seismic data offshore Mozambique. The multi-survey program is designed to improve industry insight into the region's geology and provide oil and gas companies with a greater level of understanding of the country's prospectivity.
The program includes a 2D survey of over 6,550 km in the offshore Rovuma basin, including blocks R5-A, R5-B and R5-C, and a large 3D survey over the Beira High in the Zambezi Delta. The 3D survey is expected to be up to 40,000 km², subject to pre-commitment. It will cover blocks Z5-C and Z5-D and surrounding open acreage in this deltaic area which is believed to be prospective. CGG has also been awarded an onshore airborne gravity and magnetic survey in the Southern Mozambique Basin.

The proposed multi-client seismic program in the Mozambique Zambezi region will form part of a comprehensive, fully integrated geoscience package that will give participating companies a better overall understanding of the region. Marine gravity and magnetic data will be acquired simultaneously with the seismic to aid regional interpretation. The interpretive phase of the program will benefit from the full range of geoscience expertise from CGG's Geology, Geophysics & Reservoir businesses. This will include geological and remote sensing expertise from Robertson and NPA Satellite Mapping.
Jean-Georges Malcor, CEO, CGG, said: "CGG has a long track record of delivering successful multi-client programs in the Sub-Saharan Africa region and this award underlines the extent to which our reputation for high-quality services and delivering value to our clients is recognized not just by oil and gas companies but also by national governments. As our first multi-client projects in Mozambique, these awards fit well with CGG's long-term multi-client strategy to provide our clients with the most advanced understanding of the subsurface across the world's key basins. The 5th License Round award process undertaken by the INP in 2015 saw a high level of interest in the Zambezi region and we believe our multi-client projects will highlight the exploration upside potential."
ELA Container Offshore GmbH ordered several Drying Systems from Pronomar BV to increase stock. By doing this, ELA prepares itself for the cold season in which there is a high demand for Drying Containers. "We always have containers in stock to be able to react to customers' demands on short notice. Especially within the offshore industry where every second counts", says Hans Gatzemeier, Managing Director of ELA Container Offshore GmbH. "Since all of our Offshore Drying Containers are leased out, we ordered new drying systems to have some containers available on short notice", explains Gatzemeier.
The container is equipped with a Pronomar Drying system suitable to dry suits, gloves and boots
The 20 ft ELA Offshore Drying Container is available for rent and sale. It is equipped with a Pronomar Drying System which is suitable to dry suits, boots and gloves for up to 20 people. All drying systems are made from solid stainless steel and are therefore built to last. The drying systems dry the clothes from the inside out by means of a large amount of warm air entering from a powerful blower. Within a maximum time of three hours, all clothing will be dry. "The drying systems prolong the lifetime of the costly work wear. Seen from a health perspective, the amount of sick leave decreases as workers are more likely to get sick when working in wet or damp overalls", says Jiska Bazuin, Operations Manager at Pronomar BV.
ELA Container has already gained diverse experience in the Offshore-Wind and Offshore Oil & Gas Industry. Whether on pontoons, transformer platforms, rigs or supply vessels - ELA Container is the ideal partner, offering tailor-made concepts for all requirements in the form of Living Quarters, Offices, Dining Rooms, Galleys, Laundries, Recreation or Locker Rooms and all types of Carrying Units. ELA Offshore containers are equipped with all the necessary utilities. This guarantees, in combination with all ELA Offshore features, a long service life, functionality and comfort.
The high quality Containers are "Made in Germany" according to German quality standards and possess all necessary certifications such as DNV 2.7-1 / EN 12079-1, DNV 2.7-2, based on SOLAS, IMO FSS Code and MLC as well as CSC and are approved from several IACS-companies. In terms of fire resistance, an A60 insulation provides high safety standards. Every container will be checked before delivery. Depending on customer requirements, ELA Offshore Containers are individually customized, immediately operational and are available at short notice.
The main features of ELA offshore accommodations include:

BP has taken the decision not to progress its exploration drilling program in the Great Australian Bight (GAB), offshore South Australia.
The decision follows the review and refresh of BP's upstream strategy earlier this year, which included focusing exploration on opportunities likely to create value in the near to medium term, primarily building on BP's significant existing upstream positions.
BP has determined that the GAB project will not be able to compete for capital investment with other upstream opportunities in its global portfolio in the foreseeable future.
"We have looked long and hard at our exploration plans for the Great Australian Bight but, in the current external environment, we will only pursue frontier exploration opportunities if they are competitive and aligned to our strategic goals. After extensive and careful consideration, this has proven not to be the case for our project to explore in the Bight," said Claire Fitzpatrick, BP's managing director for exploration and production, Australia.
"This decision isn't a result of a change in our view of the prospectivity of the region, nor of the ongoing regulatory process run by the independent regulator NOPSEMA. It is an outcome of our strategy and the relative competitiveness of this project in our portfolio."
Fitzpatrick said BP has informed federal and state governments of its decision.
"This decision has been incredibly difficult and we acknowledge it will be felt across the South Australia region. We have made significant progress with preparations for drilling in the Bight with the support of communities and federal, state and local governments. We acknowledge our commitments and obligations and our priority now is to work with government and community stakeholders to identify alternative ways of honoring these."
BP has also consulted with its joint venture partner, Statoil, who fully understand BP's change in strategic direction and accept BP's decision.
"BP is a long-term, significant investor in Australia, most visibly through our retail network and refinery and also as partners in the North West Shelf and Browse ventures," added Fitzpatrick. "We expect to continue to consider further opportunities to invest and grow our business here."
BP was awarded exploration licenses for four blocks in the Ceduna area of the GAB in January 2011. Seismic data was acquired in the area in late 2011-early 2012. Statoil acquired a 30% interest in the licenses in 2013, BP remained operator with 70% interest.
BP has a contract with Diamond Offshore Drilling for the provision of a new Moss CS60E design semisubmersible drilling rig, which Diamond commissioned Hyundai Heavy Industries to build and is specially designed for use in deep water and harsh marine environments. BP's decision does not impact this rig contract.

Group account directors are responsible for heading the accounting team of a corporation, or serve as a Chief Officer in charge of managing all accounts and accountants for a business. Group account directors work with a variety of companies, including major corporations, large businesses, universities, non-profits, and government agencies. The main task of those in this position is to manage (and make profitable) all of their company's accounts, and completing this task requires excellent management and accounting skills.Read More...
Many companies expect the group accounting director to oversee the development of all accountants in the department, as well. Managing subordinates is part of this job and, in many cases, they must also provide training and support for their team. Group account directors are often required to have at least a Bachelor's degree in Accounting, though most employers will require a Master's degree in Accounting or a relevant field such as Business or Finance. Those pursuing this position must also have multiple years of accounting and management experience and display superior planning, executive, communication, and networking skills.
Many group account directors are responsible for the financial direction and planning of their respective companies. Most work normal daytime business hours, plus some overtime on nights and weekends if needed. Those with a role closer to that of an executive can expect to work more overtime and irregular hours. Typically, group accountant directors work in an office building with their own office, and some have an assistant or secretary.
New York is home to an above-average pay rate for Group Account Directors, 11 percent higher than the national average. Group Account Directors will also find cushy salaries in Los Angeles (+3 percent) and Dallas (+1 percent). The lowest-paying market is Seattle, which sits 15 percent below the national average.
