Floating Production – A Growing Segment in Transition

scale arrays and will consume large amounts of mooring components and dynamic electrical cables as well as the large anchor handler and subsea support vessel capacity that will install and maintain the elements.Much of the new floating wind supply chain will leverage the existing floating oil & gas supply chains. Players experienced in deepwater oil & gas operations, whether developers, EPCI contractors or component and service suppliers, will find a growing opportunity to leverage their skills in the emerging floating wind segment.These are the findings of a new whitepaper produced by Intelatus

Tapping the Gas Bank in the Barents Sea

in recent months has heightened awareness surrounding the importance of stabile access to reasonably-priced energy.Purchasing Gas from the EastUncertain gas supplies – particularly the loss of Russian gas – have caused nations such as Germany, France and Italy to enter into long-term gas supply agreements with Qatar.The energy situation in Europe is still quite challenging. The loss of pipeline gas deliveries from Russia came at the same time as much of the new power generation in Europe has been non-adjustable power production.Without gas to produce power, parts of Europe would have

Subsea Compression: A Step Change at Ormen Lange

startup near the end of 2025, according to the OLP3 Impact Assessment.It’s a crucial project in today’s context for multiple reasons, says Richard. “Ormen Lange supplies up to 20% of the UK’s gas needs,” he says. “In the current situation, the extension of that gas supply to the UK, and Europe in general, is vital. Ormen Lange Phase 3 is also one of the lowest carbon-intensive projects globally, because we’re using green hydroelectric energy to power the subsea compressors. For both our companies and the wider industry, this very low carbon footprint is absolutely
