Alliance can be the glue holding together platform electrification hopes

An alliance exploring offshore platform electrification in the UK can act as the “glue” that binds together a range of stakeholder interests and make projects a reality.

ABB, Aker Solutions and Kellas Midstream started their research 18 months ago after platform owners signalled they were weighing up decarbonising production through this approach.

The firms realised they were well matched and that pooling their expertise in design, technology, infrastructure management and commercial innovation would make for a compelling proposition.
