| Work Detail |
Norwegian offshore drilling contractor Odfjell Drilling has upgraded one of its semi-submersible drilling rigs with a hybrid system to curb emissions.
As part of its energy transition programme, the firm has set a target to become net-zero by 2050. To this end, Odfjell Drilling introduced a hybrid/flywheel solution and is continuously assessing how new technology and digitalisation can improve efficiency and safety while minimising emissions.
Odfjell Drilling reported earlier this week that the new hybrid flywheel technology was installed on the Deepsea Nordkapp rig, in a bid to reduce emissions. The offshore drilling contractor explained that this “state-of-the-art system” is part of its zero emission drilling ambition, together with its alliance partners, Aker BP and Halliburton.
As a reminder, Odfjell Drilling was one of the three offshore drilling contractors, which entered into drilling and wells alliance agreements in January 2023 with Aker BP to carry out drilling activities on the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS). |
