Multinational Halliburton has been selected by Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP) to provide advanced completion and monitoring solutions for a carbon capture and storage (CCS) project. carbon capture and storage (CCS) (CCS) project in the North East of England. This initiative is part of the East Coast Cluster (ECC), a strategic industrial cluster aimed at reducing CO₂ emissions in the region.
CCS solutions to decarbonize UK industry
The award provides for well completion and subway monitoring services for an infrastructure that includes a CO₂ gathering network, onshore compression plants and a subsea pipeline 145 km subsea pipeline. The objective is to transport carbon dioxide to the Endurance saline aquifer, located 1,000 meters below the seabed, where up to 4 million tons of CO₂ per year will be stored.
Halliburton’s manufacturing facility in Arbroath, Scotland, will play a key role in producing most of the equipment to be used on the project. This facility has been a mainstay of operations in the North Sea. North Sea for more than five decades, and is noted for its technological capability and operational efficiency.
Energy partnership for critical infrastructure
NEP is a joint venture formed by bp, Equinor and TotalEnergies, which acts as a provider of CO₂ transportation and storage for the East Coast Cluster. This consortium will drive the decarbonization of the Teesside and Humber industrial clusters, two areas with high industrial activity and significant emissions generation.
Halliburton emphasizes that this project strengthens its presence in energy transition technologies, particularly in the field of geological carbon storage. geological carbon storage. Senior Vice President Jean-Marc Lopez stressed the importance of implementing innovative solutions to ensure the safety and efficiency of the process.
United Kingdom makes progress towards its climate goals
The contract with the U.S. company is part of the U.K.’s efforts to become a global leader in carbon capture and storage technologies. The implementation of this infrastructure represents a decisive step towards meeting the country’s climate commitments, significantly reducing the carbon footprint of its most intensive industrial sectors.
This agreement not only positions Halliburton as a key partner in UK industrial decarbonization, but also reinforces the international collaboration between major players in the energy sector in the development of large-scale sustainable solutions.
