Yara to Store CO2 from Dutch Plant under Norway Seabed
of CO2 by 800,000 tonnes over a 15 year period, the Norwegian company said in a statement.When the operation begins in 2025, it is expected to be the first time that CO2 from one nation is transported across borders for storage by another, Yara said.The CO2 will be liquefied and shipped by Northern Lights, a company owned by Equinor EQNR.OL, TotalEnergies, and Shell, from the Sluiskil plant to permanent storage on Norway's continental shelf, 2.6 km (1.6 miles) under the seabed."This is a milestone for decarbonizing hard-to-abate industry in Europe and for Yara it's an important
Alcatel Submarine Network’s DC/FO Tech together with Equinor ASA wins the 2022 UTC Award
, saw its first deployment last year, at Equinor’s Johan Castberg field development in the Barents Sea. Since deployment at Johan Castberg, the technology has also been chosen for several more field developments and projects, including the Breidablikk subsea field development and the Northern Lights CCS project.It is also helping to supporting ocean science, as part of the IDMAR project in Sicily in a 3,500 m deep deployment. Equinor has patent in subsea well concept solutions applying the DC/FO technology.The prize, which is designed to recognize, celebrate and showcase the many outstanding
Transocean's Offshore Drilling Rig to Drill Carbon Injection Well in Norway
this year be used for a not-so-typical project for an offshore oil rig.Namely, the Norwegian oil firm Equinor plans to use the Transocean Enabler semi-submersible drilling unit to drill a carbon injection well and a sidetrack for another carbon injection well drilled early 2020 in support of the Northern Lights Carbon Capture Storage Project.Northern Lights is a joint venture created by Equinor, Shell, and TotalEnergies. The project is designed to mitigate emissions and remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by creating the first cross-border, open-source carbon dioxide transport and storage infrastructu
Subsea Tiebacks: A Troll with a Kinder Surprise
Troll A.Rune Mode Ramberg, subsea, umbilicals, risers and flowlines (SURF) manager on the project told the Underwater Technology Conference (UTC) late last year about the project. “Troll Phase 3 is a really good kinder surprise,” says Ramberg, who is now SURF manager on Equinor’s Northern Lights carbon capture and storage (CCS) project. “The amount of energy we are able to deliver is huge. It’s more than the amount of energy we have delivered from Phase 1 of Johan Sverdrup.” But, critically, he says, it’s also doing it with a low carbon footprint, thanks to Troll
Norway's Carbon Capture and Storage Project Estimated to Cost $2.6B
, the oil and energy ministry said.Norway's oil and gas firm Equinor and its partners Shell and Total have been working to build a storage which could take up to 1.5 million tonnes of CO2 per year.

Equinor-led Group Approves Northern Lights CCS Project
A group of European energy companies led by Norway's Equinor agreed on Friday to develop jointly a facility beneath the North Sea to store carbon dioxide storage, a technology that helps in the fight against climate change.The Northern Lights carbon capture and storage (CCS) project, a partnership with Royal Dutch Shell and Total, is expected to cost 6.9 billion Norwegian crowns ($675.23 million), Equinor said in a statement.The project is still subject to final approval by Norwegian authorities.CCS technology includes pumping heat-trapping carbon dioxide from the air and injecting it into undergrou
Challenges of Underwater Structure Monitoring for Offshore Operations
Ashtead Technology has developed technology suitable for subsea installation monitoring, which was successfully deployed for two major projects in the North Sea.First carbon capture and storage project for Ashtead Technology’s DMSDeveloped by Equinor in partnership with Shell and Total, the Northern Lights project is the first of its kind in the North Sea and aims to securely collect and transmit CO₂ from onshore sources and store this under the seabed. The project is part of Norway’s full-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) programme, which includes capture of CO₂ from industrial

Aker Solutions Eyes Low Carbon Tech
Atlantic project off the coast of Portugal. Aker Solutions is involved in offshore wind farm developments in the US and South Korea.It also provides technology to capture carbon emissions from offshore and onshore industry. It delivered the Sleipner storage solution in 1996 and is involved in the Northern Lights CO2 storage project in the North Sea."Growth in segments such as renewables and CCUS increases the addressable market for Aker Solutions," Araujo said. "Our ambition is to become the recognized leader in low carbon offerings and sustainable solutions."Other low carbon technologies
