据10月31日Offshore Energy报道,挪威石油和天然气公司Equinor已经签署了总价值约33亿挪威克朗(约合3.576亿美元)的合同,开发海上风电项目。该项目将为北海附近油气平台提供电力。
2019年8月,挪威政府的气候变化应对基金Enova已经授予Equinor高达23亿挪威克朗的赠款,以支持Hywind Tampen项目的发展。
10月初,Equinor为Hywind Tampen开发项目做出了最终投资决定,并向挪威当局提交了两份最新的开发和运营计划。风电场将建在离岸140公里的Snorre和Gullfaks平台之间。
Equinor负责技术、项目和钻井的执行副总裁安德斯?欧佩达尔(Anders Opedal)表示:“相关五个主要合同的签署是实现Hywind Tampen项目的一个关键里程碑。这些合同在国际竞争中脱颖而出,证明油气行业在可再生能源项目上也具有竞争力。

Equinor awards key contracts for wind project to power oil and gas platforms
Norwegian oil and gas company Equinor has signed contracts totalling around NOK 3.3 billion ($357.6M) for the Hywind Tampen floating offshore wind farm development. The project will supply electrical power to the nearby oil and gas platforms Gullfaks A, B, C and Snorre A and B in the North Sea.
In August 2019, Norwegian government’s climate change tackling fund Enova has awarded Equinor up to NOK 2.3 billion grant to support the development of Hywind Tampen project.
Earlier in October, Equinor and partners made a final investment decision for the Hywind Tampen development and two updated plans for development and operation were submitted to Norwegian authorities.
The wind farm will be located some 140 kilometres from shore, between the Snorre and Gullfaks platforms.
“The signing of five major contracts is a key milestone in realizing the Hywind Tampen pioneer project. Won in international competition, the contracts prove that the oil and gas industry is also competitive for renewables projects. The awarded contracts will generate considerable spin-offs in Norway,” said Anders Opedal, Equinor’s executive vice president for Technology, projects & drilling.
