Offshore wind turbines installed in the North Sea have been giving rise to sediment plumes, satellite images taken by NASA’s Operational Land Imager (OLI) show. For at least the past decade, satellites have spotted white dots cropping up in the North Sea. If viewed from Earth’s surface, you would se
An €11 million EU-funded FORESEA initiative has selected ten ocean energy developers to demonstrate their technologies at Europe’s world-leading ocean energy test facilities free of charge.
Chevron has launched production at its Alder field in the Central North Sea. Discovered in 1975, development of the gas condensate field was considered impossible, due to the challenges of high pressures and high temperatures (HPHT) in the field’s reservoir, lying 4,480 meters beneath the seabed. Th
