Norway’s state-owned Equinor, acting as the technical service provider (TSP) for the project, has awarded Subsea7 and Aker Solutions with contracts for the second phase of the Northern Lights CO2 transport and storage development in Norway, after the final investment decision (FID) was announced last week.

Subsea7’s contract is described as sizeable and will see the company deliver engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) of a five-kilometer CO2 pipeline, as well as installation of integrated satellite structures, umbilicals, tie-in and pre-commissioning activities.
