Stranded UK gas fields ‘could hitch a ride on offshore wind farm power cables’ – OGA

摘要

Late-life or stranded gas fields located near offshore wind turbines on the UK continental shelf could find a route to market by taking advantage of the wind farm’s under-utilised power export cables. The Oil and Gas Authority said the average 40% ‘ullage’, or spare capacity, on a wind farm’s power export infrastructure 'presents an alternative route' for the monetisation of nearby producing fields or stranded resources.
