Offshore wind energy production is non-existent in Brazil, although is currently considered in the country's expansion plans. New and promising oil and gas fields have recently been discovered in the Sergipe and Alagoas basin, corresponding to one third of current Brazilian production. This work analyzes the technical and economic viability of an Offshore Wind Farm to supply the energy demand of a Floating Liquified Natural Gas proposed to be used in those fields. The resulting estimated cost of capital and levelized cost of energy were in line with international values. However, the project proved to be unfeasible due to the high cost for its size and the low average price of energy generation. Nonetheless, the synergy between the oil and gas sector and offshore wind may include benefits such as the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions within the sector itself, making the non-renewable resource available for more noble use.

La producción de energía eólica marina es inexistente en Brasil, aunque actualmente se considera en los planes de expansión del país. Recientemente se han descubierto nuevos y prometedores campos de gas en la cuenca de Sergipe y Alagoas, que corresponden a un tercio de la producción brasileña actual. Este trabajo analiza la viabilidad técnica y económica de un Parque Eólico Marino para abastecer la demanda energética de un Gas Natural Licuado Flotante, propuesto para ser utilizado en esos campos. El costo de capital estimado resultante y el costo nivelado de energía estuvieron en línea con los valores internacionales. Sin embargo, el proyecto resultó inviable debido al alto costo y al bajo precio promedio de generación de energía. No obstante, la sinergia entre el sector de petróleo y gas y la energía eólica marina puede incluir beneficios como la reducción de las emisiones de GEI dentro del propio sector.
