Dana Petroleum has terminated an agreement with NEO Energy to purchase the Western Isles floating, production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel.

The decision follows the agreement reaching its longstop date at the end of February 2025.

NEO Energy was looking to buy the vessel to work on the Greater Buchan field as part of the Buchan Horst joint venture. The group held 23% of the FPSO, and was looking to buy Dana Petroleum’s 77% holding.

Buchan Horst is 50% owned and operated by NEO Energy, with Serica Energy holding 30%, and Jersey Oil and Gas holding the remaining 20%.

Jersey Oil & Gas CEO Andrew Benitz commented: “The route to unlocking the Buchan development continues to depend on achieving satisfactory conclusions in respect of the on-going fiscal and regulatory consultations.

“The fiscal consultation was kicked off yesterday and encouragingly, while the details are yet to be fleshed out, it was apparent that the government has heard many of the concerns of the industry.”

Development of the Buchan Horst project was pushed back in light of the Finch ruling, with its consultation not expected to conclude until spring this year.

China Energy Imports Down at Start of 2025

Chinese energy imports broadly fell at the start of 2025, after last year’s record shipments of coal and gas created an overhang of supply and demand for oil continued to ease. Crude oil imports fell 5 percent on-year in January and February to 83.85 million tons as buyers had to scout for alternative supplies after the US tightened sanctions on Russian and Iranian cargoes. Chinese demand is in particular focus this year after imports declined in 2024 for the third time this decade, underscoring how consumption is being undermined by the country’s energy transition and shifts in its economy. Metals imports also saw sharp drops. The trade figures combine the first two months of the year to smooth distortions caused by the irregular timing of the Lunar New Year holiday. Faltering industrial demand and a mild winter curbed China’s appetite for power and heating fuels. Natural gas imports fell 7.7 percent, and while coal imports rose 2.1 percent, they were much lower than the peaks hit in the second half of last year. China’s coal market remains saddled with massive oversupply, which is likely to hinder inbound shipments through the year.  Gas demand is also moderating due to a slowing economy and cheaper alternatives. Liquefied natural gas imports, which make up well over half of foreign supplies, fell to a five-year low in February, according to data from Kpler, as traders diverted cargoes to take advantage of higher European prices. For metals, copper fell 7.2 percent as demand weakened and China produced more of its own supply, while iron ore plunged 8.4 percent after cyclone disruptions to supply from Australia. Last year’s record imports of the steel-making material could prove a high-water mark as port inventories remain elevated, while China’s plan to cut steel output this year should weigh on demand.  Among exports, aluminum continued to sag after China ended

Celebrating International Women’s Day with Axis Network’s Emma Behjat

With International Women’s Day on Saturday 8 March, AXIS Network has been promoting gender equity within the UK energy sector. Chairwoman Emma Behjat said: “At AXIS we push for gender equity within the workplace, for the energy sector. But IWD stands for more than just inequality in the workplace, it’s about women as a whole in every aspect of the world. The organisation recently gained sponsorship from OEUK, the NSTA and the NZTC. “With sponsorship from these governing bodies, we hope to accelerate progress by achieving greater awareness of our pledge, increase accountability and a sense of urgency pertaining to the actions needed to achieve gender equity by 2030,” she added. However, this year’s IWD comes amid a pushback against diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies, especially in the US “There has certainly been a lot of push back on DEI, particularly vocally and visibly from the US in our media streams,” Behjat said. “As a (non-practicing) Muslim woman of colour and daughter of an immigrant, I am thankful to live here in the Scotland as our country’s desire to be inclusive remains with support and backing from the government.” But she added that it’s important to understand the road that led to this point. “Put simply, there is a very loud, vocal group who feel they have had their space, their options, their future taken from them to allow others in,” Behjat said. “Those volunteering and working in the DE&I space know that not to be true, the benefits to society and business is tested and positively impactful, but if we really reflect, has the efforts been enough to be inclusive of all?  Have we created space for everyone to be themselves and thrive? “Take for example men; society is much harder on men if they showed ‘feminine’ traits,

SeAH Wind brings in three contractors for Hornsea 3 work

SeAH Wind has brought in Mammoet, Glacier Energy, and Hutchinson Engineering as key subcontractors for Ørsted’s 2.9GW Hornsea 3 Offshore Wind Project. SeAH Wind was previously brought in to supply monopiles for the project, which will be situated around 75 miles (120km) off the Norfolk Coast in the North Sea. With commercial production set to commence in the coming months, these subcontractors have been selected to support the operational and logistical services within the 120-acre site located on the South Bank of Teesworks. Mammoet has been appointed to provide self-propelled modular transporters (SPMTs) within the SeAH Wind facility. Their scope includes the transportation of can/cone structures and completed monopiles. By leveraging Mammoet’s expertise in heavy transport solutions in offshore wind site logistics, SeAH Wind ensures a seamless and efficient movement of monopiles, minimising downtime and improving overall production efficiency. Glacier Energy will conduct non-destructive testing (NDT) of welds throughout the manufacturing process, ensuring the highest quality standards. Their rigorous NDT inspections will enhance the reliability and durability of the monopiles, ensuring they meet both Ørsted’s stringent standards and international offshore wind regulations. Hutchinson Engineering has been tasked with supplying secondary steel components for the Hornsea 3 project. SeAH Wind sought a UK-based company capable of delivering these complex parts in compliance with stringent Ørsted drawings and specifications. Hutchinson Engineering’s previous experience on Ørsted projects, combined with their expertise, makes them an ideal partner for this phase of the project. SeAH Wind CEO Chris Sohn said: “These strategic appointments reflect our commitment to delivering market-leading XXXL Monopiles. With these trusted partners, we are confident that we will meet our project goals while upholding the highest standards of quality, safety, and efficiency.” Having begun construction in 2023, Hornsea 3 is expected to enter operations at the end of 2027.

EPL end date: ‘We need to make the changes now,’ says North Sea boss

As the UK government kicked off consultations on a successor tax regime to the Energy Profits Levy (EPL), Anasuria said that changes are needed “now” to save the North Sea. Anasuria Operating Company (AOC) chief executive Richard Beattie said: “I would say we need to make the changes now. “I do think the government is listening, I do think there has been positive engagement, I think we’ve seen shoots of that at the last budget.” Since its introduction in 2022 by then chancellor Rishi Sunak, the EPL, or windfall tax, has been a pain point for the UK oil and gas industry. Initially bringing the headline rate of tax imposed on North Sea operators to 75%, late last year the Labour government hiked rates by 3% as it closed investment incentives previously afforded to oil firms. In the Autumn Budget, chancellor Rachel Reeves also extended the end date of the EPL to March 2030, something it has stuck to as the government launched a consultation on the country’s tax regime and licencing regulations. However, waiting until the start of the next decade to rethink the North Sea’s controversial tax regime may be too late to save investment. “Every drinks reception I’m at, I’m talking to people and they’re talking about putting investment on hold, massive opportunities that they have that they want to invest in but with the uncertainty in terms of the number of changes that just brings natural suspicion,” Beattie added. He argued that, unlike how the UK was previously an appealing place to invest for oil and gas companies “it is simply unattractive” in the current global context. Addressing EPL ‘flaws’ When it launched the consultation process, the government said that authorities will work with industry, communities, trade unions and wider organisations to determine what the new

The beautiful link between applying for jobs and our mental health

I don’t think anyone will doubt there’s a very strong distinction between what we do for work, and for our mental health. The jobs that we do, and everything that comes with them, play a huge part in our lives. From the aspirational and emotional side, the desire to develop, succeed and do something meaningful, to the physical side, with the need to provide and enjoy the life we want to live. To achieve the career utopia we seek, we need to head into the sometimes-dreaded recruitment process. Yep, we need to apply for jobs. But while it’s understandably approached with trepidation, what is sometimes overlooked is that through applying for jobs, a chance to work on our wellbeing and mental health arises. Which in the long run gives us better odds in achieving our career goal. © Supplied by Motive Offshore GrouMark Dalgarno, Recruitment Manager, Motive Offshore Group. I know there are challenges in finding a job, but to make that next career step, no matter why you are looking for something new, we must stop and check in with ourselves. This is your career. You’re doing this for you and your world. Others benefit from the work we do, but this is for you first and foremost. No career will progress, no application will be sent, no interview will be attended, without you, in whatever fashion you prefer, asking yourself: “What do I want to do next?” Questions like “Who am I?”, “What do I offer?”, “Why do I want to do this?” will follow. Deep, meaningful, thought-provoking, personal questions. Questions that lead you to answers and actions that positively impact your life. Which, if done meaningfully, can only be good for our mental health. Very rarely do we give ourselves time to check in with what’s really

Seven important trends in the server sphere

The pace of change around server technology is advancing considerably, driven by hyperscalers but spilling over into the on-premises world as well. There are numerous overall trends, experts say, including: AI Everything: AI mania is everywhere and without high power hardware to run it, it’s just vapor. But it’s more than just a buzzword, it is a very real and measurable trend. AI servers are notable because they are decked out with high end CPUs, GPU accelerators, and oftentimes a SmartNIC network controller.  All the major players — Nvidia, Supermicro, Google, Asus, Dell, Intel, HPE — as well as smaller vendors are offering purpose-built AI hardware, according to a recent Network World article. AI edge server growth: There is also a trend towards deploying AI edge servers. The Global Edge AI Servers Market size is expected to be worth around $26.6 Billion by 2034, from $2.7 Billion in 2024, according to a Market.US report. Considerable amounts of data are collected on the edge.  Edge servers do the job of culling the useless data and sending only the necessary data back to data centers for processing. The market is rapidly expanding as industries such as manufacturing, automotive, healthcare, and retail increasingly deploy IoT devices and require immediate data processing for decision-making and operational efficiency, according to the report. Liquid cooling gains ground: Liquid cooling is inching its way in from the fringes into the mainstream of data center infrastructure. What was once a difficult add-on is now becoming a standard feature, says Jeffrey Hewitt, vice president and analyst with Gartner. “Server providers are working on developing the internal chassis plumbing for direct-to-chip cooling with the goal of supporting the next generation of AI CPUs and GPUs that will produce high amounts of heat within their servers,” he said.  New data center structures: Not

Data center vacancies hit historic lows despite record construction

The growth comes despite considerable headwinds facing data center operators, including higher construction costs, equipment pricing, and persistent shortages in critical materials like generators, chillers and transformers, CRBE stated. There is a considerable pricing disparity between newly built data centers and legacy facilities, reflecting the premium placed on modern, energy-efficient infrastructure. Specifically, liquid/immersion cooling is preferred over air cooling for modern server requirements, CRBE found. On the networking side of things, major telecom companies made substantial investments in fiber in the second half of 2024, reflecting the growing need for more network infrastructure and capacity to accommodate growing demand from AI and data providers. There have also been many notable deals recently: AT&T’s multi-year, $1 billion agreement with Corning to provide next-generation fiber, cable and connectivity solutions; Comcast’s proposed acquisition of Nitel; Verizon’s agreement to acquire Frontier, the largest pure-play fiber internet provider in the U.S.; and T-Mobile’s entry into the fiber internet market via partnerships with fiber-optic providers. In the quarter, Meta announced plans for a 25,000-mile undersea fiber cable that would connect the U.S. East and West coasts with global markets across the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific oceans. The project would mark the first privately owned and operated global fiber cable network. Data Center Outlook

AI driving a 165% rise in data center power demand by 2030

Goldman Sachs Research estimates the power usage by the global data center market to be around 55 gigawatts, which breaks down as 54% for cloud computing workloads, 32% for traditional line of business workloads and 14% for AI. By 2027, that number jumps to 84 GW, with AI growing to 27% of the overall market, cloud dropping to 50%, and traditional workloads falling to 23%, Schneider stated. Goldman Sachs Research estimates that there will be around 122 GW of data center capacity online by the end of 2030, and the density of power use in data centers is likely to grow as well, from 162 kilowatts per square foot to 176 KW per square foot in 2027, thanks to AI, Schneider stated.  “Data center supply — specifically the rate at which incremental supply is built — has been constrained over the past 18 months,” Schneider wrote. These constraints have arisen from the inability of utilities to expand transmission capacity because of permitting delays, supply chain bottlenecks, and infrastructure that is both costly and time-intensive to upgrade. The result is that due to power demand from data centers, there will need to be additional utility investment, to the tune of about $720 billion of grid spending through 2030. And then they are subject to the pace of public utilities, which move much slower than hyperscalers. “These transmission projects can take several years to permit, and then several more to build, creating another potential bottleneck for data center growth if the regions are not proactive about this given the lead time,” Schneider wrote.

Inside the Nuclear Race for Data Center Energy with Aalo Atomics CEO Matt Loszak

The latest episode of the DCF Show podcast delves into one of the most pressing challenges facing the data center industry today: the search for sustainable, high-density power solutions. And how, as hyperscale operators like Google and Meta contend with growing energy demands—and, in some cases, resistance from utilities unwilling or unable to support their expanding footprints—the conversation around nuclear energy has intensified.  Both legacy nuclear providers and innovative startups are racing to secure the future business of data center giants, each bringing unique approaches to the table. Our guest for this podcast episode is Matt Loszak, co-founder and CEO of Aalo Atomics, an Austin-based company that’s taking a fresh approach to nuclear energy. Aalo, which secured a $29.5 million Series A funding round in 2024, stands out in the nuclear sector with its 10-megawatt sodium-cooled reactor design—eliminating the need for water, a critical advantage for siting flexibility. Inspired by the Department of Energy’s MARVEL microreactor, Aalo’s technology benefits from direct expertise, as the company’s CTO was the chief architect behind MARVEL. Beyond reactor design, Aalo’s vision extends to full-scale modular plant production. Instead of just building reactors, the company aims to manufacture entire nuclear plants using prefabricated, LEGO-style components. The fully modular plants, shipped in standard containers, are designed to match the footprint of a data center while requiring no onsite water—features that could make them particularly attractive to hyperscale operators seeking localized, high-density power.  Aalo has already made significant strides, with the Department of Energy identifying land at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) as a potential site for its first nuclear facility. The company is on an accelerated timeline, expecting to complete a non-nuclear prototype within three months and break ground on its first nuclear reactor in about a year—remarkably fast progress for the nuclear industry. In our discussion,

Microsoft will invest $80B in AI data centers in fiscal 2025

And Microsoft isn’t the only one that is ramping up its investments into AI-enabled data centers. Rival cloud service providers are all investing in either upgrading or opening new data centers to capture a larger chunk of business from developers and users of large language models (LLMs).  In a report published in October 2024, Bloomberg Intelligence estimated that demand for generative AI would push Microsoft, AWS, Google, Oracle, Meta, and Apple would between them devote $200 billion to capex in 2025, up from $110 billion in 2023. Microsoft is one of the biggest spenders, followed closely by Google and AWS, Bloomberg Intelligence said. Its estimate of Microsoft’s capital spending on AI, at $62.4 billion for calendar 2025, is lower than Smith’s claim that the company will invest $80 billion in the fiscal year to June 30, 2025. Both figures, though, are way higher than Microsoft’s 2020 capital expenditure of “just” $17.6 billion. The majority of the increased spending is tied to cloud services and the expansion of AI infrastructure needed to provide compute capacity for OpenAI workloads. Separately, last October Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said his company planned total capex spend of $75 billion in 2024 and even more in 2025, with much of it going to AWS, its cloud computing division.

John Deere unveils more autonomous farm machines to address skill labor shortage

Join our daily and weekly newsletters for the latest updates and exclusive content on industry-leading AI coverage. Learn More Self-driving tractors might be the path to self-driving cars. John Deere has revealed a new line of autonomous machines and tech across agriculture, construction and commercial landscaping. The Moline, Illinois-based John Deere has been in business for 187 years, yet it’s been a regular as a non-tech company showing off technology at the big tech trade show in Las Vegas and is back at CES 2025 with more autonomous tractors and other vehicles. This is not something we usually cover, but John Deere has a lot of data that is interesting in the big picture of tech. The message from the company is that there aren’t enough skilled farm laborers to do the work that its customers need. It’s been a challenge for most of the last two decades, said Jahmy Hindman, CTO at John Deere, in a briefing. Much of the tech will come this fall and after that. He noted that the average farmer in the U.S. is over 58 and works 12 to 18 hours a day to grow food for us. And he said the American Farm Bureau Federation estimates there are roughly 2.4 million farm jobs that need to be filled annually; and the agricultural work force continues to shrink. (This is my hint to the anti-immigration crowd). John Deere’s autonomous 9RX Tractor. Farmers can oversee it using an app. While each of these industries experiences their own set of challenges, a commonality across all is skilled labor availability. In construction, about 80% percent of contractors struggle to find skilled labor. And in commercial landscaping, 86% of landscaping business owners can’t find labor to fill open positions, he said. “They have to figure out how to do

2025 playbook for enterprise AI success, from agents to evals

Join our daily and weekly newsletters for the latest updates and exclusive content on industry-leading AI coverage. Learn More 2025 is poised to be a pivotal year for enterprise AI. The past year has seen rapid innovation, and this year will see the same. This has made it more critical than ever to revisit your AI strategy to stay competitive and create value for your customers. From scaling AI agents to optimizing costs, here are the five critical areas enterprises should prioritize for their AI strategy this year. 1. Agents: the next generation of automation AI agents are no longer theoretical. In 2025, they’re indispensable tools for enterprises looking to streamline operations and enhance customer interactions. Unlike traditional software, agents powered by large language models (LLMs) can make nuanced decisions, navigate complex multi-step tasks, and integrate seamlessly with tools and APIs. At the start of 2024, agents were not ready for prime time, making frustrating mistakes like hallucinating URLs. They started getting better as frontier large language models themselves improved. “Let me put it this way,” said Sam Witteveen, cofounder of Red Dragon, a company that develops agents for companies, and that recently reviewed the 48 agents it built last year. “Interestingly, the ones that we built at the start of the year, a lot of those worked way better at the end of the year just because the models got better.” Witteveen shared this in the video podcast we filmed to discuss these five big trends in detail. Models are getting better and hallucinating less, and they’re also being trained to do agentic tasks. Another feature that the model providers are researching is a way to use the LLM as a judge, and as models get cheaper (something we’ll cover below), companies can use three or more models to

OpenAI’s red teaming innovations define new essentials for security leaders in the AI era

Join our daily and weekly newsletters for the latest updates and exclusive content on industry-leading AI coverage. Learn More OpenAI has taken a more aggressive approach to red teaming than its AI competitors, demonstrating its security teams’ advanced capabilities in two areas: multi-step reinforcement and external red teaming. OpenAI recently released two papers that set a new competitive standard for improving the quality, reliability and safety of AI models in these two techniques and more. The first paper, “OpenAI’s Approach to External Red Teaming for AI Models and Systems,” reports that specialized teams outside the company have proven effective in uncovering vulnerabilities that might otherwise have made it into a released model because in-house testing techniques may have missed them. In the second paper, “Diverse and Effective Red Teaming with Auto-Generated Rewards and Multi-Step Reinforcement Learning,” OpenAI introduces an automated framework that relies on iterative reinforcement learning to generate a broad spectrum of novel, wide-ranging attacks. Going all-in on red teaming pays practical, competitive dividends It’s encouraging to see competitive intensity in red teaming growing among AI companies. When Anthropic released its AI red team guidelines in June of last year, it joined AI providers including Google, Microsoft, Nvidia, OpenAI, and even the U.S.’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), which all had released red teaming frameworks. Investing heavily in red teaming yields tangible benefits for security leaders in any organization. OpenAI’s paper on external red teaming provides a detailed analysis of how the company strives to create specialized external teams that include cybersecurity and subject matter experts. The goal is to see if knowledgeable external teams can defeat models’ security perimeters and find gaps in their security, biases and controls that prompt-based testing couldn’t find. What makes OpenAI’s recent papers noteworthy is how well they define using human-in-the-middle
