The Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP), a joint venture of bp, Equinor ASA, and TotalEnergies, has let a technologies and services contract to SLB for carbon storage site development in the North Sea.
SLB will construct six carbon storage wells. The project scope includes drilling, measurement, cementing, fluids, completions, wireline, and pumping services.
NEP is developing onshore and offshore infrastructure needed to transport CO2 from carbon capture projects across Teesside and the Humber, collectively known as the East Coast Cluster, to secure storage under the North Sea.
In October 2021, the NEP's East Coast Cluster, which includes Net Zero Teesside, was selected as a priority cluster in phase-1 of the UK Government’s carbon capture, usage, and storage (CCUS) cluster sequencing process (OGJ Online, Mar. 15, 2024).
