Technip Energies handed FEED for Viking carbon capture project

Offshore staff

LONDON — Viking CCS, Harbour Energy and bp’s planned CO₂ transportation and storage network in the Humber industrial region in eastern England has awarded Technip Energies the FEED contract for the project.

The scope includes design of the CO₂ transportation system. Findings will support work on the costs and schedule as the development heads toward a final investment decision.

Once operational, this could be on the world’s largest carbon capture and storage projects, potentially storing 10 MM metric tons/year of CO₂ beneath the UK southern North Sea. 

The independently verified storage capacity is 300 MM metric tons of CO₂ across the depleted Viking gas fields, originally developed by Conoco.

Viking CCS would reuse existing pipelines and the decommissioned fields to provide industries in the UK with CO₂ transport and storage options.
