This paper explores the potential for electrifying subsea oil and gas infrastructure using wave-powered ocean energy systems. It details how a type of system, an Autonomous Offshore Power System (AOPS), can provide a potential solution and outlines the work and findings to data of joint industry project that integrates and co-demonstrates an AOPS with an electrified subsea asset. In this Project (Project), an AOPS will provide power and data communications to an electrified subsea asset at the PacWave South test site off the U.S. Oregon coast. Here, this paper provides a description and analysis of the system configuration, subsea asset integration process, and pre-deployment testing plans, along with projected benefits for the industry.
