Electrification of O&G Assets in the Gulf of Mexico
In addition to state mandated GHG
reductions, oil and gas companies in the Gulf of Mexico are faced with
rising electricity demand to support increasing power requirements at
their platforms, tighter requirements for decommissioning platforms that
are unproductive, and challenges to powering future “greenfield” assets
that will have lower carbon emission tolerances from the inception of
commissioning.
One big advantage of using separate facilities for
power generation for green field facilities is that it allows for the
removal of significant payload requirements from the scope of the new
oil and gas platform. It also allows for modular power additions and
subtractions without affecting the buoyancy characteristics of the
floating oil and gas platform.his is a product description. Use this space to describe the products you offer.
