A Guide to Offshore Wind and Oil & Gas Capability

28 September 2011

The guide, which is a summary of more detailed work undertaken by Scottish Enterprise, provides detailed information to the oil and gas supply chain on those areas of the offshore wind project life cycle where there is the greatest opportunity for oil and gas involvement and future opportunities.

It also demonstrates to offshore wind project developers the potential for the oil and gas supply chain to reduce offshore wind project costs and suggests that the oil and gas supply chain has the potential to reduce the cost of offshore wind operation by around 20%, based on the most significant areas of cross over and through the application of their knowledge and expertise.

The document can be found at: http://www.scottish-enterprise.com/~/media/SE/Resources/Documents/GHI/Guide-offshore-wind-oil-gas.ashx(PDF, 996kB)

The document is currently available in electronic format only but we intend to produce some hard copies for circulation shortly. Please feel free to circulate details of the guide more widely.
