International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that about 40% of the full lifetime costs of an offshore wind project, including construction and maintenance, have significant synergies with the offshore oil and gas sector (IEA, Offshore Wind Outlook, 2019). This webinar will demonstrate examples of such synergies and how professionals in traditional oil and gas companies can leverage their current skills to transition to renewables. Examples will include:
A) Wind turbine vs offshore oil platform construction
B) Electrical distribution networks vs pipelines
C) Utilizing renewables to offset oil and gas production costs
