A new study commissioned by Crown Estate Scotland, and carried out by Everoze has provided a potential way forward for a more localized approach to offshore renewable energy deployment in coastal and island communities across Scotland. The study looked at six scenarios linked to a number of renewabl
TUV SUD NEL has invested £1.45 million in one of the world’s largest gravity test separators, as part of the build program for its new advanced multiphase facility. The new separator will test both multiphase and wet gas flows (oil, water and gas) and will ensure sufficient retention time, even at t
The implementation of U.S. offshore wind targets will not be as simple or, potentially, as green as it may seem since certain issues can “cause a bottleneck in the supply chain”, according to research by Yale University. Researchers from Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies challenged the
Lundin Norway has agreed the final investment decision to proceed with an extended well test on the Rolvsnes weathered and fractured basement discovery on the Utsira High.
