Dutch yard HSM Offshore Energy has a contract for an electrified gas production platform in the North Sea, which will run entirely on offshore wind power. The order was placed by oil and gas exploration and production company ONE-Dyas for its N05-A project.
HSM has started the fabrication in Schiedam and ONE-Dyas aims to deliver the first natural gas to Dutch and German households by the end of 2024.
The N05-A project is part of the GEMS area, an area approximately 20 to 80 kilometres north of the River Ems estu¬ary in the North Sea. The platform will run entirely on renewable energy from the nearby Riffgat offshore wind farm, which reduces the emissions to near zero.
