World’s First Floating Wind Farm Starts Production
offshore wind is testament to this government’s commitment to the development of this technology and, coupled with Statoil’s Battery Storage Project, Batwind, puts us at the forefront of this global race and positions Scotland as a world centre for energy innovation.” Irene Rummelhoff, executive vice president of the New Energy Solutions business area in Statoil, said, “Hywind can be used for water depths up to 800 meters, thus opening up areas that so far have been inaccessible for offshore wind.” “The learnings from Hywind Scotland will pave the

turbines which need to be tethered to a permanent foundation on the seabed that is more expensive to build in deep areas. "We're looking to see if there's floating wind opportunities in California and Hawaii ... Japan is also a prime market for floating offshore wind," said Irene Rummelhoff, executive vice president of Statoil's New Energy Solutions business which deals with the company's non-oil and gas activities. She was speaking to Reuters on the sidelines of an industry conference in London. The turbines for Statoil's Hywind floating wind park off Scotland
Statoil Wins Offshore Wind Lease in New York
in a highly attractive project, Statoil’s first offshore wind lease in the United States. We now look forward to working with New York’s state agencies and contribute to New York meeting its future energy needs by applying our offshore experience and engineering expertise,” said Irene Rummelhoff, Statoil´s executive vice president for New Energy Solutions. The lease comprises an area that could potentially accommodate more than 1 GW of offshore wind, with a phased development expected to start with 400-600 MW. The New York Wind Energy Area is located 14-30 miles
Statoil increases Share in UK Offshore Wind
Shoal represents a milestone for Statoil, as our first operatorship during commercial operations. As operator of both the Sheringham Shoal and Dudgeon offshore wind farms, located in the same area, we can further improve efficiency and increase competitiveness across the projects,” says Irene Rummelhoff, Statoil’s executive vice president for New Energy Solutions. Statoil and Statkraft each hold a 40 per cent share in Sheringham Shoal, with 20 per cent held by the UK Green Investment Bank. Through today’s agreement, Statoil is also increasing its share in the Dogger Bank projects
Statoil Renewables Chief Aims to Cut Offshore Wind Cost
Statoil's renewable energy chief Irene Rummelhoff made the following statements at the ONS oil and energy conference on Wednesday: Over the last few years we have invested NOK 20 billion ($2.40 billion) in profitable renewable investments. So we are putting real money into this with the ambition to build a new growth leg for Statoil." "We are positioned in the two largest offshore wind markets in the world, the UK and Germany." "Our projects have the ability to power up over one million households in UK and Germany." "We are working extremely hard to

park is to demonstrate the feasibility of future commercial, utility-scale floating wind farms. This will further increase the global market potential for offshore wind energy, contributing to realizing our ambition of profitable growth in renewable energy and other low-carbon solutions,” said Irene Rummelhoff, Statoil’s executive vice president for New Energy Solutions. The pilot park will cover around 4 square kilometers, at a water depth of 95-120 meters. The average wind speed in this area of the North Sea is around 10 meters per second. Rummelhoff described Scotland as “a region
Another Gas Find By Statoil in Aasta Hanstee
Hansteen which aimed to test additional potential in the area and make the Aasta Hansteen project more robust. Both wells, Snefrid Nord and Roald Rygg, have resulted in interesting discoveries, which will now be further evaluated for future tie-in to the Aasta Hansteen infrastructure,” says Irene Rummelhoff, senior vice president exploration Norway in Statoil. The well 6706/12-3, drilled by the Transocean Spitsbergen rig in the Roald Rygg prospect, proved a 38-metre gas column in the Nise Formation with very good reservoir quality. Statoil estimates the volumes in Roald Rygg to be in the range

The discovery is an important contribution to the Aasta Hansteen field development project and Polarled pipeline utilisation. “The Snefrid Nord discovery increases the resource base for the Aasta Hansteen field development project by around 15%,” says Irene Rummelhoff, senior vice president exploration Norway in Statoil. The Snefrid Nord discovery is located in the deep-water Vøring area in the immediate proximity of the three gas discoveries comprising the Aasta Hansteen field development: Luva, Haklang and Snefrid South.
