Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. has signed a contract with Premier Oil to supply a PowerBuoy for a deployment in the Huntington Field, one of Premier Oil’s offshore fields in the Central North Sea. A wave-powered monitoring system is to be deployed in the North Sea by Premier Oil as part of a decommissioning project in one of its offshore fields. The Powerbuoy , which monitors the local environment, will be deployed in the UK Field in six-month for a three-month trial, with a six-month extension if those tests prove successful. The project is being co-funded and supported by Pieter voor de Poorte in Aberdeen , and will be the second time a wave-powered device has been deployed on the UK continental shelf by an oil and gas company.
