New Alliance Set Up to Boost Australia’s Subsea Sector
net zero, powered by carbon capture and a growing pipeline of offshore wind projects in both the West and South East Australian regions.“Crucially, and similar to the UK, Australia champions a just transition which builds in energy resiliency and security with opportunities in sustained oil and gas production, decommissioning, offshore wind and carbon capture. Supply chain companies are encouraged to bring innovative, collaborative and sustainable solutions to this diversified market,” said Neil Gordon, GUH chief executive.Gordon highlighted the continued production within the oil and gas

now in doubt, he said, predicting that operators would move to Europe. Offshore wind represents 7% of Fugro's turnover in the Americas.Trump in January issued an order to pause new federal offshore wind leasing, while promising to focus on his policies on maximizing already record-high U.S. oil and gas production.Fugro is "very optimistic" on offshore wind market trends in Europe and Asia, notably in South Korea and Japan, which are actively developing.It expects the recently announced EU Clean Industrial Deal to boost offshore wind development and support the 27-member bloc's transition
Subsea Digitalization: Remote Control

Their digitalization will further these goals by providing remote control, optimized operations and enhanced decision-making capabilities.Enabling technology for that digitalization, such as subsea power and communications, continue to
Mocean Energy and Proserv Team Up for Low-Carbon Solutions for Subsea Ops
deployment.Wave-Powered Subsea Project Completes 12-Month Offshore Test Campaign“Together we will work to create and provide customizable ocean power solutions for subsea control systems that will revolutionize the offshore energy sector and the blue economy, while helping to decarbonize oil and gas production,” said Cameron McNatt, Managing Director at Mocean Energy.“This agreement comes at a pivotal time for the Proserv business as we explore the integration of new technologies such as underwater drone technology for monitoring both wind and oil and gas, amongst other offerings to
Subsea7 Reveals it is Supporting Shell's Vito Waterflood Project
volume capacity at the field, according to Shell.Craig Broussard, Subsea7 senior vice president in the region, said, “We’re very pleased to join the Vito waterflood project, which demonstrates how we can use enhanced recovery methods to maximize existing reservoirs for lower-carbon oil and gas production. Our expertise and track record at all depths means we are ideally placed to support its delivery.”The Vito field was discovered in July 2009, in more than 4,000 feet of water approximately 75 miles south of Venice, La., 150 miles southeast of New Orleans and 10 miles south of the Shell-oper
Norway Offers $193 Million Funding to Arctic Floating Wind Farm Project
turbines and seeking to supply power to the Arctic town of Hammerfest, beat out six other applicants in a tender by government agency Enova.Norway hopes that floating offshore wind will provide an industrial future for its offshore supply industry as well as a means of cutting emissions from oil and gas production by replacing gas turbines as a source of power supply."The government wants to make arrangements for floating offshore wind to become a new leg for the Norwegian supplier industry to stand on," Energy Minister Terje Aasland said in a statement.Floating wind such as GoliatVind could
Enauta Set to Receive Key Equipment for Atlanta Field Offshore Brazil
The first multiphase pumping subsea system (MPP), that will support oil and gas production at the Atlanta field in Brazil's Santos Basin, has been shipped from Norway, Brazilian oil and gas company Enauta has informed.The MPP, manufactured by OneSubsea, was loaded on January 21, 2024, in Norway ahead of shipping for Brazil.The delivery of the equipment according to the schedule highlighted one of the key challenges to reach FPSO Atlanta’s first oil aimed by August 2024, according to Enauta, which is the operator of the Atlanta field.“According to data presented at the Enauta Day
TotalEnergies Joins Wave Powered Subsea Project
it aims to become carbon net zero, together with society, by 2050.Dave MacKinnon, TotalEnergies Technology, Data & Innovation Manager, says: “Our participation in RSP demonstrates how important it is to us to pursue new ideas and technology that will support the decarbonization of our oil and gas production business, both here in the UK and across the world. We’re pleased to be participating and look forward to seeing the results of this collaboration.”Andy Martin, Chief Commercial Officer at Verlume, added: “Renewables for Subsea Power is capturing industry-leading project

; and see that it's also a profitable business.”By its very nature, the subsea sector must invent, engineer and deliver products and systems that are robust and reliable, traditionally focused on the offshore oil and gas sector. The solutions that exist are not exclusively for oil and gas production, but also for methods of installation; methods to handle the high pressures; and understanding how to minimize impact on the surrounding environment. As energy evolves to include renewables, as well as budding industries like carbon capture and storage, Vesterkjær sees UTC as the platform
