SLB has announced that its OneSubsea joint venture has secured an EPC contract from Equinor for a CO2 subsea injection system. The work is part of the Northern Lights Phase 2 project, located offshore Norway.
Key Highlights:
- Project: CO2 subsea injection system for Northern Lights Phase 2, Offshore Norway
- Client: Equinor (Technical Service Provider), in partnership with TotalEnergies and Shell
- Scope: Two satellite subsea CO2 injection systems with tie-in equipment
- First Deliveries: Expected in 2026
This project is owned by TotalEnergies, Shell, and Equinor, and follows a recent commercial agreement with an end-user. This marks a major step in scaling up carbon capture and storage (CCS).
The scope of the new award includes two satellite subsea CO2 injection systems and related tie-in equipment. Work has already begun, with the first equipment deliveries expected by 2026.
SLB previously delivered two subsea injection systems for Phase 1 of the project in 2023.
The Northern Lights project is part of the world’s first open-source, full-scale CO2 capture, transport, and storage chain. With Phase 2, capacity will increase from 1.5 million to at least 5 million tonnes of CO2 per year. This expansion is supported by funding from the Connecting Europe Facility for Energy (CEF Energy).
Mads Hjelmeland, CEO of SLB OneSubsea, highlighted the benefits of subsea standardisation, saying it reduces risks and improves project efficiency. He also noted the project’s importance in supporting Europe’s net-zero targets.
In May 2025, the project secured all necessary permits to start CO2 storage in the Aurora CCS license area in the North Sea. The first phase is completed and ready to receive CO2 from industrial customers, with operations set to begin in the second half of 2025.
