Abstract

Abstract

Equinor’s ambition is to be a leading company in CO-efficient oil and gas production, and to offer new business opportunities within renewable energy (Figure 1). CO handling consequently provides both a challenge and an opportunity. Equinor has long experience with CO capture, transport, and storage as operator of TCM (Test Centre Mongstad), Sleipner and Snøhvit fields and also as partner in the In Salah field in Algeria. The Norwegian State is presently leading a new full-scale CCS project, aimed at capturing CO from industrial sources and storing it beneath the North Sea. Equinor, together with partners Shell and Total in the Northern Lights partnership, is responsible for FEED (Front-End Engineering Design) of the transport and storage part of this project.
