Offshore Data Center’s partners also bring patented closed-loop cooling systems designed to significantly reduce the data-center cooling load. Kalypso will lead the subsea cable work packages that connect these facilities to the grid, network and shore, including fiber-optic, power and umbilical cable route development, engineering, installation and connections, and the repair, operations and maintenance support that high-availability facilities require.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.The companies will evaluate both new-build facilities and reuse of existing offshore infrastructure, including selected “idle iron,” for modular edge and inference compute. Locating power generation and compute near offshore gas resources is intended to shorten the conventional gas-to-power-to-data-center value chain and create a new monetization pathway for offshore gas.Get the latest headlines, breaking news and columns.By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.A welcome email is on its way.

Schroeder, Jr., Founder and CEO of Offshore Data Center. “Working with operators, regulators and Kalypso, we plan to evaluate opportunities to place modular data centers on suitable existing assets, create new revenue from offshore resources and potentially defer certain Asset Retirement Obligation expenditures.”“An offshore data center is only as good as the cables that connect it,” said Owen Rataj, Director of Kalypso Offshore Energy. “Low-latency fiber to shore, reliable power connections and a repair and maintenance capability close to the assets are what turn an offshore platform into usable compute capacity. We are building exactly that capability in the U.S. and beyond, and this collaboration lets us apply it to a new class of offshore infrastructure.”About Offshore Data Center, LLCOffshore Data Center, LLC develops offshore data-center concepts powered by natural gas.
