OKEA 和 Equinor 正在联手为挪威大陆架上的 Draugen 和 Njord A 平台提供电力，此举预计将大幅减少该地区的CO _{2排放量。}

两个挪威海平台的合作伙伴已做出最终投资决定，并向挪威石油和能源部提交了修订后的开发和运营计划（PDO）。

OKEA 项目和技术高级副总裁 Knut Gjertsen 表示，该电气化项目预计每年可减少 33 万吨 CO 2 排放，其中 20 万吨将从 Draugen 去除，其余部分从 Njord 去除_。

Equinor 则对水深 330 m 的 Njord 进行了大规模升级，为该油田再生产 20 年做好准备。

Equinor 负责项目开发的高级副总裁 Trond Bokn 表示：“我们现在正在通过转向电力运营来继续 Njord 的现代化改造。”

根据项目协议，OKEA 将开发从岸上到 Draugen 的电力基础设施。Equinor 将负责从 Draugen 到 Njord 的电缆以及 Njord A 的改造和升级，其中用于主要发电的两台现有燃气轮机将被通过 Draugen 的岸上电力取代。据此，Njord A所需电力的60%左右将由电力满足，Njord Bravo FSO将实现全面电气化。

该电气化项目预计耗资约 73 亿挪威克朗，由 Draugen 和 Njord 生产许可证分摊。

OKEA 已向 Aker Solutions 授予了一份意向书，并向 NKT 授予了与该项目相关的合同。如果未获得相关政府批准，合同中包含行业标准取消条款。

Aker Solutions 表示，它已与 OKEA 签署了挪威近海 Draugen 电气化项目的意向书 (LOI)。Aker Solutions 预计意向书将在 2023 年第一季度转化为完整的工程、采购、施工和安装合同。意向书的授予是在 Aker Solutions 完成前端工程和设计工作之后进行的。

Draugen 和 Njord 每年需要高达 80 MW，并将连接到经评估运行良好的电网，无需对电网进行加固。

该项目预计于 2027 年初完成。

OKEA and Equinor are teaming up to electrify the Draugen and Njord A platforms on the Norwegian continental shelf in a move expected to substantially reduce CO₂ emissions in the area.

Partners for the two Norwegian Sea platforms have made a final investment decision and submitted revised plans for development and operation (PDO) to the Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy.

The electrification project is expected to reduce CO₂ emissions by 330,000 tonnes per year, of which 200,000 tonnes will be removed from Draugen and the remainder from Njord, according to Knut Gjertsen, senior vice president for projects and technology at OKEA.

For its part, Equinor has carried out extensive upgrades on Njord, in 330 m water depth, to prepare the field for 20 more years of production.

“We are now continuing the modernization of Njord by converting to electric operation,” Trond Bokn, Equinor’s senior vice president for project development, said.

Under the project agreement, OKEA will develop the power infrastructure from shore to Draugen. Equinor will be responsible for the cable from Draugen to Njord as well as modifications and upgrading on Njord A, where the two existing gas turbines for main power production will be replaced by electric power from shore via Draugen. Based on this, around 60% of the power needed by Njord A will be covered by electricity, and the Njord Bravo FSO will be fully electrified.

The electrification project is estimated to cost around 7.3 billion NOK, which will be shared by Draugen and the Njord producing licenses.

OKEA has awarded a letter of intent to Aker Solutions and a contract to NKT related to the project. The contract has industry standard cancellation clauses should relevant government approvals not be granted.

Aker Solutions said it had signed a letter of intent (LOI) with OKEA for the Draugen Electrification project, offshore Norway. Aker Solutions expects the LOI to be converted to a full engineering, procurement, construction and installation contract during the first quarter of 2023. The award of the LOI follows completion of front-end engineering and design work performed by Aker Solutions.

Draugen and Njord will require up to 80 MW annually and will be connected to a power grid that has been assessed as operationally sound without the need for reinforcements to the power grid.

The project is slated to be complete in early 2027.
