Equinor Leads the Way in Adoption of Low-emission Offshore Drilling Rigs, Westwood Says
November 15, 2022
The availability of emission-lowering upgrades for offshore rigs has been on the rise, but adoption of these new technologies is slow outside of Norway and the US Gulf of Mexico due to limited regulatory and financial incentives, energy intelligence group Westwood has found.
According to Westwood the biggest users of rigs fitted with emission reduction technology are those with ambitious emission goals of their own, driven largely by Equinor’s Norway and Brazil operations.
