HOUSTON – Oceaneering says that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Kontiki Winds AS (a Havfram AS company) to jointly pursue the application of floating offshore wind for remote microgrid renewable power generation.
The goal will be to electrify offshore assets such as oil and gas production as well as other small-scale power generation opportunities among island states currently producing electricity by fossil fuel.
The MoU, signed in Stavanger, Norway, covers collaboration between the two companies with a particular focus on the Gulf of Mexico, Brazil, and Northern Europe.
Both companies recognize there is an increasing requirement on oil and gas producers and remote island states to electrify their operations, with limited available options.
Through this MoU, Oceaneering and Kontiki Winds say they will provide a comprehensive and cost competitive approach to electrification, using offshore wind, to realize microgrid electrification.
