Wind farm site characterization
Accurate wind farm site characterization is crucial for ensuring the safe and efficient development of offshore wind farms.
Renewable energy has emerged as a critical component of global efforts to transition to cleaner sources of energy.
Wind farms are becoming increasingly common, with offshore wind farms presenting unique opportunities and challenges compared to their onshore counterparts.
While offshore wind farms can take advantage of stronger and more consistent winds found at sea, accurate characterization of the subsurface environment is essential for their safe and efficient development.
The webinar will discuss the benefits of using ultra-high resolution 3D seismic for wind farm site characterization, and explain how it can provide a detailed understanding of the subsurface environment and identify potential hazards.
The use of ultra-high resolution 3D seismic technology will play a vital role in mapping the seabed and underlying geology, identifying potential hazards, and informing the design and construction of the wind farms.
First competition for offshore wind areas in Norway
Offshore wind farms are becoming increasingly popular, with Norway announcing its first competition for offshore wind areas on March 29.
This move is a significant step towards Norway's ambitious goal of allocating areas for 30,000 MW of offshore wind by 2040.
The Ministry of Petroleum and Energy, Terje Aasland, is inviting applicants to apply for project areas for renewable energy production at sea in two areas on the Norwegian continental shelf: Sørlige Nordsjø II and Utsira Nord.
The competition is expected to attract significant interest from developers and investors keen to secure a foothold in Norway's offshore wind market, which has significant potential for growth.
