Siemens aims to develop an automated digitalised plant in Norway to manufacture energy storage technologies for offshore oil rigs. The Ampere company plans to adapt the BlueVault technology that's used in wind farm energy storage to ensure continuity of oil-rig power. Siemens said the technology's application would reduce greenhouse gas emissions and lower risks in the drilling industry.
