The costs of offshore wind projects commissioned in 2016 vary widely, but on average are 150% higher than onshore wind and more than 50% higher than utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) projects. 8However, the results of recent auctions in Europe suggests a step change in costs for some new projects scheduled to enter into operation in the early 2020s; these include some bids that did not require any price guarantees at all, albeit at favourable conditions with the cost of grid connection taken by the transmission system operator. 8Such a dramatic improvement in costs, if realised in practice, would provide a powerful stimulus for policy support and investment elsewhere in the world. 8For projects commissioned in 2016, the global average LCOE of offshore wind was 150% higher than that of onshore wind and more than 50% higher than that of utility-scale solar PV. The website also carries here a projection of cost of offshore wind energy projects where technological advances and huge economies of scale plug the gap with onshore renewable power over time. 8Know more about the massive Chinese push towards offshore wind energy projects and fledgling efforts made by India so far.

Decommissioning of offshore structures is a problem that the Indian E&P industry may have to face sooner than later. 8Decommissioning involving steel platforms in shallow water is an easier job than dismantling more complex structures in deeper water. 8Removing offshore infrastructure is typically the best way to minimise environmental and safety risks, but there is scope in some cases for re-use or re-purposing. 8More than 500 platforms in the Gulf of Mexico, for example, have already been converted to permanent artificial reefs. 8There are also potential synergies with other ocean industries, including offshore wind as well.

The growth of offshore wind creates potential synergies with the offshore hydrocarbons sector; integration could bring benefits in terms of reduced costs, improved environmental performance and utilisation of infrastructure. The interlinkages between the different offshore energy industries are in three major areas: 8The overlapping competencies required to construct and maintain offshore projects and to operate in harsh marine environments. Around one-third of the full lifetime costs of an offshore wind project (including operation, maintenance and service costs) may have significant synergies with the oil and gas supply chain. 8The possibility to electrify offshore oil and gas operations where there are wind farms nearby, or via floating turbines, reducing the need to run diesel or gas-fired generators on the platform and reducing emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and air pollutants. 8The scope to find new uses for existing offshore infrastructure once it reaches the end of its operational life, in ways that might aid energy transitions: for example, platforms could provide offshore bases for maintenance of wind farms, house facilities to convert power to hydrogen or ammonia, or be used to inject CO2 into depleted fields. 8Should companies like ONGC and RIL-BP be listening in to these possibilities? 8The possibility of policy makers to veer towards integrated offshore thinking extends well beyond the energy sector to encompass shipping, port infrastructure, other maritime industries and all aspects of the marine environment.

China is largely expected to continue buying Iranian crude and may be tempted to consume even more as price differentials become more attractive. 8However, Japan and South Korea, who were consistent buyers during the last sanctions era have so far reduced their purchases already this year. 8India has increased its purchases of Iranian crude, importing 492,000 b/d so far in 2018, supported by the need to replace lower Venezuelan volumes. 8Sanctions may, of course, make buying for Indian refiners more challenging, but overall most Indian refiners are expected to remain significant customers.

A new kind of argument is floating around that the price of crude will get to the $100/bbl in 2019 8Lack of investments and the lack of spare production capacity in the world in the face of booming demand will push prices sharply up 8The demand and supply of oil are inelastic in the short run and small inequalities can cause big changes in the price of crude 8Also, it is argued that the marginal barrel of oil will cost more from now, as no major super fields have been discovered since the 30 billion barrel pre-salt find in Brazil. Such big fields can now only be found in offshore areas around the world. 8What is more, In 2017, companies did not invest in offshore exploration as the risk of not finding oil and drilling dry holes is not priced at current prices. A list of findings from offshore exploration seems to show how risky the exploration business is. The industry clearly needs higher oil prices in order to justify further exploration, not just the developing risk of the marginal offshore barrel, to fill the looming supply gap. 8In fact, in 2017 the industry reached a record low discovery rate of conventional, non-shale resources, making it harder to address the supply gap going forward. 8On the demand side, neither the advent of the electric car or renewable energy is likely to dent the increasing appetite for oil anytime soon.

Despite the fact that many government frown upon crypto currencies, products that use crypto currency based technology platforms facilitating global trade and transport are proliferating. 8One such platform wants to provide a global marketplace which will facilitate trade, transport, exchange of documents and payment options at low cost in real time. 8The platform architecture is based on the principles of high level of security,t ransparency, traceability and accountability. 8It is set up in a way that the participants can take advantage of any part of it alone, or in combination with other sections. It can be used as a very simple platform or as a complex smart contract utility with various payment options. 8The platform options provide infinite possibilities for added value to the users and the participants. 8The full scale scope of the exercise extends to all trade and transport areas i.e. the shipping industry (containers, bulk, break bulk, liquid bulk), inland transportation (trucks, railways), air cargo (transportation by planes, drones, etc.), other types of “new age” transport such as pipeline transport, space cargo, intercity and outer city shared rides. Dedicated platforms for the different types of transport will be interconnected, allowing for infinite functionality. 8The objective is the creation of synergy between the commodities and cargo traders with all transport means on a global scale. The integration of all participants and utilities delivers unique, first of its kind ecosystem. 8Clearly, the advantages are many, so it is only a matter of time before such platforms are introduced in Indian markets.
