power generation

With one of the world’s lowest electrification rates, Mozambique is moving to give its citizens a brighter future. Together with South Africa’s Sasol, the country endeavors to attract global EPCM companies and international financing to create a power generation hub fueled by gas from onshore fields.

A Canadian company reports that it has drilled and completed a historic horizontal well in Saskatchewan.

Electrically powered completions equipment takes another step toward greater sector adoption with the announcement of this new agreement.

The new geothermal project development company will offer expertise in subsurface and drilling, project development, and risk mitigation.

Nearly 90% of geothermal capacity built since 2000 is binary cycle.

InterMoor’s Marine Project team in Aberdeen successfully recovered the Ocean Power Technologies PowerBuoy after a 7-month trial in harsh North Sea winter conditions.

North Sea operators BP, Shell, and Total have begun an effort to fuel their platforms using sustainable power sources through a connection with Norway’s onshore power grid, which is driven almost wholly by renewable energy.

By using the four converter-battery systems, the operator estimates it will be able to reduce the runtime of the rig’s on-platform diesel engines by 42%, cutting CO2 emissions by 15% and NOx emissions by 12%.

The hybrid power technology cuts fuel consumption and boosts the dynamically positioned rig’s station-keeping reliability, the drilling contractor says.

The engineering company Cosmodyne will work directly with the utility company and its EPC contractor for the project, which will utilize its LINEX natural gas liquefier.
