Gasum, a Nordic energy expert, has signed a long-term contract with Norway-based global energy company Equinor to continue supplying liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Equinor’s dual-fuel chartered fleet of vessels. This new agreement builds on the successful partnership the two companies have enjoyed under previous contracts. Gasum will utilize its bunker vessels Coralius, Kairos, and Coral Energy for the bunkering operations, ensuring a reliable and efficient supply of LNG to Equinor’s fleet. The agreement also encompasses additional support services such as cooling down and gassing up, which have been integral to Gasum’s collaboration with Equinor. This year alone, Gasum has organized three separate LNG cool down operations for Equinor in Skagen. Both companies are committed to ambitious sustainability goals aimed at enabling a cleaner energy future. Equinor has set a target to become a net-zero emissions energy company by 2050. The use of LNG in maritime transport is a significant step towards this goal, as it completely removes sulfur oxides (SOx) and particles, reduces nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions by up to 85%, and lowers CO2 emissions by at least 20%. Additionally, LNG is interchangeable with liquefied biogas (LBG), which can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 90% compared to conventional marine fuels like marine gasoil (MGO). #bunkering #bunkermarket #energy #shipping #maritime #shipowners #decarbonization #digitalization #energytransition #oilandgas #carboncapture #ports #marinefuels #greenshipping #netzero #gasum #equinor #lng #lngbunkering #lngshipping #norway https://lnkd.in/dP-dbz9p

Equinor Makes New Gas Discovery in Norwegian North Sea Equinor ASA and its partners have discovered more natural gas in the Gudrun field on Norway’s side of the North Sea. The discovery was made in wildcat wells 15/3-13 S and 15/3-13 A, the 13th and 14th exploration wells drilled under production license 025, the Norwegian Offshore Directorate said in a press release. “Preliminary estimates place the size of the discovery between 0.1 and 1.2 million standard cubic meters (between 3.5 million and 42.5 million cubic feet) of recoverable oil equivalent in the intra-Draupne Formation, and between 0.4 and 1.3 million standard cubic meters (between 14.1 million and 46 million cubic feet) of recoverable oil equivalent in the Hugin Formation”, the Directorate reported. “The licensees will assess the well results in light of other prospectivity in the area”. Gudrun is already a producing field, put onstream 2014. Last year it produced 1.26 million cubic meters (44.5 million cubic feet) of oil, 980,000 cubic meters (34.6 million cubic feet) of gas and 110,000 cubic meters (3.9 million cubic feet) of natural gas liquids, according to information on government website Norskpetroleum.no. Currently the central North Sea field has remaining reserves of 10.6 million cubic meters (374.3 million cubic feet) of oil equivalent, mostly oil, according to Norskpetroleum.no. In the latest drilling campaign, conducted by Odfjell Drilling Ltd.’s Deepsea Stavanger rig, the primary aim was to prove petroleum in Late Jurassic reservoir rocks in the intra-Draupne Formation and Middle Jurassic reservoir rocks in the Hugin Formation. “Well 15/3-13 S encountered thin oil-bearing sandstone layers in the intra-Draupne Formation”, the Directorate said. “The oil/water contact was not encountered. In the Hugin Formation, the well encountered a total of 92 meters [301.8 feet] of sandstone with poor reservoir properties. “Gas was encountered in two intervals, with respective thicknesses of 8 and 7 meters [26.2 feet and 23 feet]. The gas/water contact was not encountered”. The well was drilled to measured and vertical depths of 4,826 meters [15,833.3 feet] and 4740 meters [15,551.2 feet], respectively, below sea level. Sidetrack 15/3-13 A, drilled to delineate the discovery, encountered oil in an 85-meter (278.9 feet) thick interval in the intra-Draupne Formation, 13 meters [42.7 feet] of which were intermittent sandstone layers with moderate quality. “The oil/water contact was proven 4328 meters [14,199.5 feet] below sea level”, the Directorate said.

GIDARA Energy, renowned for its innovative waste-to-energy solutions, has been chosen by Aker Solutions to contribute to the Equinor Mongstad Industrial Transformation (MIT) project. This project aims to convert solid waste and refuse-derived fuel into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), marking a significant step towards combating climate change. Dr. Norbert Kamp, CEO of Gidara Energy, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, highlighting the company's commitment to addressing global waste challenges and reducing CO2 emissions. Gidara Energy's High Temperature Wrinkler (HTW) gasification technology will play a pivotal role in the feasibility study, converting solid waste feedstock into clean syngas. The HTW gasification process, featuring pre-treatment and syngas production stages, showcases Gidara Energy's cutting-edge approach to sustainable energy solutions. The versatility of the HTW gasifier, capable of processing various feedstocks including low-rank coals and biomass, underscores its suitability for diverse waste-to-energy applications. Equinor's selection of Aker Solutions for the Mongstad Industrial Transformation project underscores the industry's focus on sustainable practices. The project encompasses greenfield facilities for blue hydrogen production and a carbon capture solution, alongside SAF production from municipal solid waste with substantial emission reductions. Aker Solutions' comprehensive feasibility study, integrating brownfield, greenfield, and third-party technologies, will explore innovative pathways for sustainable operations. This collaborative effort aligns with the global push towards cleaner energy solutions and underscores the pivotal role of partnerships in driving sustainable transformation.

Production start-up in the Norwegian Sea! 😀 Today, we are celebrating start-up from the Lavrans well in the Kristin South project. Thank you Equinor (operator), Petoro and TotalEnergies for the strong alignment, commitment, and collaboration in the partnership! 🙌 🤝     This is indeed a brilliant example of how we create value by developing existing infrastructure on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. A new subsea template has been installed and tied into the Kristin platform in the Norwegian Sea – a cost efficient way to add production and extend the lifespan of fields in operations.     Expected production volumes are 58 million barrels of oil equivalent – adding more high value, low carbon barrels supporting our target to deliver between 350-400 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day from 2025 and beyond.      #energy #energysupply #oilandgas #vårenergi #preferredpartner #oneteam
