These tasks are collectively often known as the East Coast Cluster. SLB mentioned the captured carbon can be safely saved beneath the North Sea.
SLB mentioned it’ll make the most of its Sequestri carbon storage options portfolio, comprising applied sciences designed and certified for growing carbon storage websites, to construct six storage wells.

“Applied sciences and companies tailor-made for carbon storage will play a essential position in shifting the economics and safeguarding the integrity of carbon storage tasks earlier than and after the FID”, Katherine Rojas, senior vp of Industrial Decarbonization at SLB, mentioned. “We’re excited to be part of this groundbreaking CCS venture within the UK, leveraging the confirmed carbon storage applied sciences in our Sequestri portfolio and our intensive experience delivering advanced CCS tasks world wide”.
The NEP infrastructure is predicted to play a significant position in serving to the UK’s highest carbon-intensive industrial areas attain net-zero emissions. By means of the Endurance saline aquifer and close by storage amenities, NEP can present storage for as a lot as one billion metric tons of CO2, SLB mentioned. This infrastructure will facilitate the transportation and everlasting storage of an preliminary 4 million metric tons of CO2 yearly, with operations anticipated to begin in 2028.
