KARLSKRONA, Sweden – Lundin Energy Norway is collaborating with Ocean Harvesting Technologies through an R&D study on how installation of wave energy converters could provide stable and cost-effective electricity to an offshore oil and gas platform.
The one-year project will run until February 2022 and will provide data and information on how to electrify major offshore operations with wave power.
Kristin Færøvik, managing director of Lundin Energy Norway, said: “Our assets are already highly efficient and low-carbon. However, the challenges to the wider sector in decarbonizing production can be significant, especially offshore. We are therefore excited to work with Ocean Harvesting Technologies to identify new ways of powering offshore activities with their innovative wave energy convertor solution.”
Mikael Sidenmark, CEO of Ocean Harvesting Technologies, said: “This case study, aiming to develop a specification and system design for a wave power installation at an oil and gas platform, will provide valuable input for Ocean Harvesting Technologies in better understanding the requirements for such an installation. The project will guide us through the early validation stages of our commercialization.”
