TotalEnergies EP Nederland has awarded Petrofac’s consulting division the FEED contract for a CO2 injection platform in the Dutch sector of the North Sea.
The planned Aramis project involves decommissioning of gas handling topsides and installation of a new, repurposed platform connecting to the proposed Aramis CO2 distribution network.
Earlier in the year, Petrofac received a contract covering design of the 32-inch CO2 trunkline, including the onshore, landfall and offshore sections, along with the offshore CO2 distribution hub platform for the Aramis system. This study work continues.
Aramis, a collaboration between TotalEnergies, Shell, Energie Beheer Nederland (EBN) and Gasunie, aims to reduce CO2 emissions for the hard-to-abate industries by transporting the CO2 to depleted offshore gas fields for storage beneath the North Sea.
In December 2023, Offshore's sister publication Oil and Gas Journal reported that Neptune Energy, operator of the L10CCS—a carbon storage infrastructure development that will connect to the Netherlands’ flagship CCS project Aramis—advanced the project to FEED with a contract award to Petrofac.
