Offshore Wind Could Bring In $1.7B to U.S. Treasury by 2022
spending, energy security, and shovel-ready jobs with good wages will be unleashed. Importantly, offshore wind development will support jobs throughout the entire U.S. The same shipbuilders, heavy lift vessel operators, steel fabricators and countless other companies who built the Gulf of Mexico oil and gas sector stand ready to lend their expertise to the American offshore wind industry.”

Challenges of Underwater Structure Monitoring for Offshore Operations
enters a period of increased offshore deepwater exploration driven by economic viability, the demand for international underwater monitoring services looks set to strengthen into the new decade. According to a report from TechSci Research1, the value of global underwater monitoring services for the oil and gas sector is projected to grow from around $1billion in 2018 to $1.8billion by 2024.With an increasing focus on improving efficiencies throughout the global energy sector, the installation of subsea structures on the seabed can pose complex and costly challenges if handled incorrectly. It is essential
Are O&G Digital Twins Useful? DNV GL Moves to Find Out
mechanism of trust and value for the digital representation of a physical asset and its behavior, DNV GL said.DNV GL is developing and testing a methodology for the qualification of digital twins which will provide that assurance, and ultimately encourage wider adoption of the technology in the oil and gas sector. An initial partnership with TechnipFMC has led to the creation of the pilot, which is now being opened to the wider industry.Digital twins are a rapidly developing technology widely expected to become a significant contributor to the future management of major industrial sites. The digital
