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

next few years. Therefore, gas prices are expected to remain high in a historical perspective in Europe.Since the autumn of 2021, the licensees on the Norwegian continental shelf have implemented a number of measures to maintain the highest possible gas export level to Europe. Most of the Norwegian gas production is exported by pipeline to countries in Europe.There is also a need for potential increased gas volumes from the Barents Sea.Source: Norwegian Petroleum DirectorateFigure from the Resource report 2022: Opened and unopened areas on the NCS.

UTC 2023: Securing Global Energy
; 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
Norway's Loke Buys UK Deep-sea Mining Firm from Lockheed
;Yes, it comes with some consequence to the environment, but we believe that it will be smaller than extracting minerals on land, if you, let's say, go into a rain forest," Hide said.Loke also said on Thursday that Norwegian Kongsberg Gruppen, which provides technologies for offshore oil and gas production to airspace and defence, had taken a stake in the company, joining TechnipFMC and Wilhelmsen.The ISA has yet to finalise long-debated regulations that will govern seabed mining in international waters.Norway is also considering opening ocean areas on its extended continental shelf in the North
Oceaneering, Kontiki Winds ink MoU to Electrify Offshore Assets with Renewables
said that its Norwegian subsidiary, Oceaneering AS, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Kontiki Winds AS (a Havfram AS company) to jointly pursue the application of floating offshore wind for remote microgrid renewable power generation to electrify offshore assets such as oil and gas production as well as other small scale power generation opportunities among island states currently producing electricity by fossil fuel.“The MoU leverages each parties’ capabilities to provide safer and cleaner energy production in a dynamic subsea environment,” said Erik Saestad, MD
