United Kingdom: TotalEnergies Launches a Floating Offshore Wind Pilot Project
to Supply Renewable Electricity to an Offshore Oil & Gas Platform in the
North Sea

 

TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) announces the launch of a pilot
project consisting in a floating wind turbine to supply renewable power to
Culzean offshore platform in the UK North Sea, thus pioneering an innovative
decarbonization scheme.

The 3 MW floating wind turbine will be located 2 km west of the Culzean
platform, 220 km off the eastern coast of Scotland. This turbine, expected to
be fully operational by end 2025, will supply around 20% of Culzean’s power
requirement, thereby reducing its GHG emissions. The turbine will be installed
on a modular, light semi-submersible floater hull designed by Ocergy, allowing
for fast assembly and optimized costs.

“This innovative pilot project aims at proving the concept of hybridization
of power generation on an offshore facility, by integrating the generation of
renewable electricity from a floating wind turbine with the existing power
generation from gas turbines. It also aims at qualifying a promising floater
design for the future of floating offshore wind,” said Marie-Noelle Semeria,
Chief Technology Officer at TotalEnergies.

This pilot project was selected in Crown Estate Scotland’s Innovation and
Targeted Oil & Gas (INTOG) leasing round, designed to encourage and
support the use of offshore wind energy to directly supply offshore oil &
gas platforms.
