NRG, the well management company, has launched a well planning and decommissioning management application which, reportedly, allows well project teams to compile, evaluate and share data more effectively. According to the company, WEii (pronounced WE2) is a modular application to share a common data
Dynamic Systems Analysis (DSA) has led the launch of the EcoSPRAY, a marine structure designed to gather data to verify the behaviour of floating tidal energy platforms and their moorings in high-energy turbulent tidal flows. The platform has been deployed in Grand Passage between Freeport and Westp
A research by the University of Cape Town and Plymouth University suggests there is an appetite for renewable energy projects within island communities, but public and private sector bodies could face opposition if they fail to take local distinctiveness into account at the beginning of the planning

Over the next three weeks, a two-metre underwater ocean glider equipped with acoustic sensor
Following a record 2015, the offshore wind industry will see fewer additions in 2016. However, the level of projects entering construction and the diversity of locations expected in 2016 bodes well for a larger global market in the years to come, Douglas-Westwood (DW) said. Capacity additions will g
