Freire Shipyard Inks Deal to Build Oceanographic Research Vessel
to the continental shelf. It will also perform duties related to fishery on the continental shelf and will accommodate a crew of 12 people and 10 scientists, allowing for training campaigns with teachers and students on board.The oceanographic research vessel stands out for the wide range of energy savings technologies and low-consumption solutions implemented: from the hull design, the design of the power plant, the power distribution system, the heat recovery system, the level from thermal insulation to the efficiency of air conditioning.The diesel electric propulsion system will combine three

proposals at a summit on Oct. 20-21. Most EU countries have urged the Commission to urgently propose a gas price cap, but disagree on its design.Germany, the EU's economic powerhouse, and other wealthier states have opposed gas price caps, which they say could hamper gas purchases and discourage energy savings.The draft document also said EU energy regulators would be charged with developing a new LNG price benchmark by the end of March, while Brussels would launch a "tool" for EU countries to start jointly buying gas.LNG imports by ship to Europe have surged as governments have raced to
Odd Job Multiphase Boosting for OneSubsea, Subsea 7
, engineering, assembly and testing will be performed at the OneSubsea facilities in Bergen and Horsøy, Norway, while transport to the field and installation will be carried out by Subsea 7.“The system will be tied back to the existing facility, thereby achieving significant cost and energy savings, as well as reducing CO2 emissions, all while improving Kosmos Energy’s ultimate recovery,” says Don Sweet, director, Subsea Production Systems, OneSubsea.
Can the Subsea Factory Support a Net Zero World?
solutions, you will see some substantial energy and carbon footprint savings. A good example is the Ormen Lange field, which is powered from shore and is developed using subsea compression, instead of topside compression. When you consider the Ormen Lange’s setup, you can see the energy savings that we can realize. This makes, in my opinion, the subsea factory concept all the more relevant and compelling. So, have we always known that the subsea factory helps produce lower-carbon energy?Over the past 20 years, there has been an enormous amount of subsea processing technology developmen
ABB Showcases World-first Subsea Power System
than $500 million by linking eight power-consuming units such as pumps and compressors through a single cable over a distance of 200 kilometers from other infrastructure. In addition, the supply of power to such units on the seabed can significantly reduce power consumption, resulting in substantial energy savings and much lower carbon emissions compared with using shore-based systems. The technology can be driven by any power source, including wind and hydro power. A further benefit of the subsea technology is reduced operational risk and increased safety, as fewer offshore staff are required for operations
ABB Tests Subsea Power Technology System
; said Dr. Peter Terwiesch, President of ABB’s Industrial Automation business.By powering pumps and compressors on the seabed, closer to the reservoir, ABB’s subsea power distribution and conversion technology can significantly reduce power consumption. There is potential for substantial energy savings, with reduced carbon emissions using power from shore. ABB’s subsea power technology can connect to any power source, enabling future integrations with renewable energy, such as wind and hydro power.Based on a specific field development case, the new technology could offer CAPEX1 savings
Singapore: LNG Terminal to Develop Data Center
buildings. In 2018, data centers accounted for 7 per cent1 of the total annual electricity consumption in Singapore."About 37 per cent2 of the total energy consumed by data centers is used to cool IT equipment. Therefore, improving the efficiency of the cooling system can result in significant energy savings and reduce the carbon footprint of data centers. In this project, we aim to demonstrate a novel way of storing cold energy released from the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) re-gasification process and using it to cool data centers efficiently," said Dean's Chair Associate Professor Praveen
The OE Buoy is Taking Shape
and rapidly expanding IoT world, technology companies will be able to benefit from wave power through the development of OE Buoy devices as marine-based data storage and processing centers. The major players in Big Data are already experimenting with subsea data centers to take advantage of the energy savings by cooling these systems in the sea. OE Buoy now presents them with the potential double-benefit of ocean cooling and ocean energy in the one device.”The sustainability aspects of the 826-ton OE Buoy project are also significant. Each deployed commercial device could reduce CO2 emissions
ExxonMobil inks patent agreement with Pason Systems
Upstream Research Company. “The drilling advisory system component to our efficient Fast Drill technology provides such an opportunity by enhancing monitoring and improving drilling performance, thus reducing costs.” ExxonMobil’s Fast Drill process has resulted in an annual energy savings equivalent to removing 1,200 cars from the road. The additional reduction in fuel consumed translates to a proportionate decrease in emissions. “The deployment of ExxonMobil’s Drilling Advisory System extends our portfolio of technologies that can significantly improve the efficiency
