North Sea

Projects across the globe are exploring the power of offshore wind in an effort to reach net zero.

Offshore Energies UK and Xodus are launching an offshore nesting bird census to get a better understanding of how the animals use oil and gas structures in an effort to protect them.

The asset combination is structured under Eni’s “satellite model,” which Eni has deployed successfully with similar upstream joint-venture deals in Norway and Angola.

Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Norway, the UK, and Denmark have signed a joint declaration aimed at protecting critical infrastructure in the North Sea, including subsea fiber-optic cables, gas and oil pipelines, electricity transmission cables, and offshore wind installations.

Electric conversion of these offshore platforms is expected to cut about 1.2 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions per year.

Stakeholders in the UK offshore sector will be asked to commit to a set of principles to help the sector achieve the energy transition through digitalization.

Failure to electrify facilities in the UK North Sea could soon result in a denial of petroleum licenses and the forced closure of some offshore assets.

This paper describes how near-real-time tracer data from the onsite tracer analysis enabled the operator of the Nova field to interactively optimize two well cleanups.

This paper describes a case study in which, in the absence of a conventional production log, distributed fiber-optic sensing, in conjunction with shut-in temperature measurements, provided a viable method to derive inflow zonal distribution.
