Abstract

This paper presents the results of an investigation of stranded gas exploitation in remote North West Atlantic and North Sea locations through the generation of electrical power offshore and its transmission to the UK market by subsea cable, where it is sold under the NETA marketing system. An offshore vessel has been designed in which the natural gas is first imported and then processed to remove valuable condensate before supplying a combined cycle plant. Generated electrical power is exported via a subsea transmission cable linking the vessel to a shore based receiving station. A detailed technical and economic evaluation is presented in this paper which concludes by explaining how the technical challenges can be met in a cost efficient way.
