Energy Transition

The 100 MW Salamander floating offshore wind project, located 35 km off Peterhead, is designed to provide Scotland and its supply chain with an early opportunity to deliver floating offshore wind ahead of the larger-scale ScotWind buildout.

OEUK’s Business Outlook Report, being published on 28 March, shows the North Sea could power the UK for decades, but a mix of windfall taxes and political uncertainty is driving away the billions of pounds of investments needed to maintain oil and gas production now and create low carbon energy in the future.

ECOPETROL, the main and largest oil company in Colombia, awards this recognition to highlight the suppliers that leverage the sustainable development of nations with the design of innovative products or services and outstanding practices in environmental protection.

The Innovation and Targeted Oil and Gas (INTOG) initiative is a seabed leasing round, which is designed to enable offshore wind energy to directly supply offshore oil and gas platforms with renewable-generated electricity.

Barry Kilcline, Ireland head of offshore at SSE Renewables, said he was aware of “at least two” significant investment decisions that had been abandoned as a result of the policy change, although he declined to say who the firms were.

LNG importers in Spain received a letter from the government recommending that companies don’t sign up to new purchases from Russia, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

Solutions that will reduce gas turbines’ energy consumption and prevent flare gas leakages to lower methane emission emerged as the grand prize winners of the recently concluded Race2Decarbonise hackathon organized by PETRONAS.

Throughout the testing period, the Wärtsilä engine continued to supply power to the grid. This is the largest commercially operated flexible balancing engine ever to run on a hydrogen fuel blend, representing a world-first achievement. 

The new MicroSeismic CSEM monitoring service, under the brand-name CO2SeQure, will help ensure the safe and compliant operation of industrial scale CO2 storage facilities.

The partnership’s offshore wind portfolio in Italy will thus reach almost 3 GW with a yearly production of around 7 TWh of renewable energy, enough to satisfy the electricity consumption of around 2.5 million households and contributing to the decarbonization objectives of the 2030 National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan.

Under the MoU, which reinforces ADNOC Drilling’s deep expertise in its sector, the company will engage as a drilling technical expert and advisor to support Masdar’s deployment of geothermal energy around the world. The companies will jointly evaluate the potential for ADNOC Drilling to provide geothermal drilling services.

The Port Arthur LNG Phase 1 project is fully permitted and is designed to include two natural gas liquefaction trains, two liquefied natural gas storage tanks and associated facilities with a nameplate capacity of approximately 13 million tonnes per annum.

With a capacity of 2,852 MW, Hornsea 3 will be capable of producing enough low-cost, clean, renewable electricity to power over 3 million UK homes.

Speaking to an audience of operators, supply chain, regulators and academics in Aberdeen, Dave Whitehouse will reiterate the sector’s position on energy security, resilience and industry performance in a wider HSE context.

In addition to its oil and gas industry legacy, AGR’s specialist competence and software are also applied to decommissioning of offshore assets, carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), blue hydrogen, geothermal energy and seabed minerals.

The Golar Tundra floating storage regasification unit docked Sunday night in Piombino, on the coast of Tuscany. The LNG terminal is one of two that will allow Italy to replace gas flows via pipeline from Russia, which are already near historic lows.

In a statement published Friday in Mozambican newspaper O Pais, the U.S. energy giant called for expressions of interest to design and build an LNG plant producing as much as about 18 million tons a year.

CO2 transportation and injection systems are the critical conduits that move captured CO2 from their sources to permanent underground storage locations. These systems will vary in size and complexity, but most will include some form of CO2 analysis, treatment, compression, and monitoring. During injection operations, fluctuations in upstream capture composition and volume will happen in parallel with downstream changes to store behavior. To actively manage this end-to-end variability, the transportation and injection system needs an integrated, automated control system that links upstream process control equipment with downhole instrumentation. In this webinar, TechnipFMC and Halliburton will provide an overview of their integrated CO2 transportation and injection solutions and explain how client value can be created through system integration.

The vow comes as competition in the race for clean technology heats up after President Joe Biden’s $370 billion climate bill, which raised tax credits for capturing carbon dioxide.

EnerMech will roll out its integrated project management and delivery solution specifically developed to enhance efficiencies across the project.

By the end of 2022, the net carbon intensity of the energy products sold by Shell had also fallen by 3.8%, compared with 2016. The analysis, using data from the International Energy Agency, shows the net carbon intensity of the global energy system fell by around 2% over that time.
