OSLO/HOUSTON – Subsidiaries of Aker Solutions and Dril-Quip have entered a collaboration agreement to offer subsea injection systems for carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) projects.

Dril-Quip will provide Aker Solutions with CO2 injection Xmas trees and wellheads that will be integrated into a larger subsea injection system to provide technology purpose-designed for the injection and storage of CO2.

Aker Solutions will manage the work as an integrated supplier of CCUS systems, associated control systems, and electrification components.

The two companies have agreed to work jointly to target the Northern Endurance Project in the UK, maximizing local content from their organizations. 

The Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP) aims to provide infrastructure to capture and transport CO2 from carbon emitting projects, such as Net Zero Teesside Power, for offshore storage in the North Sea.

Last October, NEP’s East Coast Cluster, which includes Net Zero Teesside, was designated a priority cluster under phase-1 of the UK Government’s Carbon Capture, Usage and Storage cluster sequencing process.
