A high oil price has enabled operators to extend field life and delay decommissioning time and time again on the UK continental shelf (UKCS), however the current low oil price has brought into stark relief that this cannot continue indefinitely concludes a new analysis by Wood Mackenzie. The report,
A new research project looking at optimum layouts for offshore electrical connections for marine energy farms has developed a ‘decision tree’ to help guide designers and developers towards the most cost effective array configuration for their development. The Optimum Electrical Array Architectures r
The impact of the $200 billion shipping industry on Australia’s marine environment will be investigated in a project led by a team of University of Wollongong (UOW) researchers.
