SLB says that it has received an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract from Equinor for a CO2 subsea injection system for the Northern Lights phase two project offshore Norway.
The final investment decision for phase two was made by the Northern Lights’ owners TotalEnergies, Shell and Equinor following a commercial agreement with an end-use customer, marking a decisive milestone for the adoption of carbon capture and storage (CCS) at scale.
The SLB OneSubsea scope includes two new satellite subsea CO2 injection systems with associated tie-in equipment. Work has already commenced, with first deliveries expected in 2026.
The award follows the successful delivery of two subsea injection systems for the first phase of this project in 2023.
Northern Lights is said to be part of the world’s first open-source, full-scale value chain for CO2 capture, transport, and storage services. Phase two will increase the current capacity from 1.5 million to a minimum of 5 million tonnes of CO2 per year.
