The offshore wind and Oil & Gas sectors are historically largely separate. This project seeks to exploit synergies between the two in order to reduce the costs associated with O&G abandonment. Specific objectives are to:
⢠Identify hotspots where the two sectors, have the strongest synergies, e.g. hub locations
⢠Assess the potential to exploit existing O&G infrastructure, e.g. for O&M, CCS, geothermal energy and/or hydrogen
⢠Analyze how the planned, staged abandonment could optimally be aligned with offshore wind developments
⢠Assess the potential for cost reductions achievable through the above insights
The project will explore specific scenarios, for example:
a) Offshore hydrogen production (at O&G facility) + O&G as electricity hub for offshore wind – conversion of pipeline to hydrogen to send hydrogen to shore.
b) Offshore CCS + O&G as electricity hub for offshore wind – conversion of pipeline for CO2 transport + transmission line in parallel – hydrogen onshore with district heating.
c) Offshore hydrogen production/storage/fuel cell + O&G as electricity hub for offshore wind/transmission line to shore
The method is energy systems analysis, which takes real-world data on the offshore energy system to create an accurate model. Building on existing work in this area (e.g. offshore wind), existing datasets and models should be extended to include offshore O&G assets and abandonment schedules.
Sample Solution
(Burke, 1973). The Secretariat was established in Tehran. The first Secretary General of RCD was an Iranian Dr Fuad Rouhani. It has often argued that the RCD was a result of disillusionment of three states with CENTO, through it is also considered by some to be the most satisfying and potentially the most faithful, partnership which Pakistan has so far forged with the Muslims countries. (Ziring, 1990) Tehran Meeting of RCD October 1964 During the meeting of Ministerial Council of RCD held in Tehran in October 1964 it was decided that the charges for telephone calls between the countries of the region be substantially reduced. As a good step towards promoting cooperation among the three states Iran, Turkey and Pakistan that were signed as an agreement on 16 October for abolition of visas amongst them (Ali, 2001). The RCD initiated to speech itself to the possibility of some very ambitious projects. In October 1964 Ministerial Council of the RCD meeting which was arranged in Tehran called for the preparation of a preliminary report on the setting up of a joint airline. That project was tracked for a long time but it proved a non-starter. At the same time another RCD project related to the formation of a conference arrangement between Pakistan, Iran and Turkey for pooling their traffic and ships on specific and agreed routes as a first phase towards the establishing of a joint maritime line (Ali, 2001). Develop of the RCD Joint Shipping Lines March 1965 Few months later on March 15, 1965, Turkey, Iran and Pakistan agreed to develop the RCD joint shipping lines. That meeting was organized in Istanbul which attended by the representatives of all of these three countries. An agreement was sanctioned; as per that accord Pakistan will provide 50%, Iran 35% and Turkey 15% shares for the said shipping lines which were decided to be made operational within a short span of a year.
