Statoil, Norwegian government agree on subsea CO2 study
Jan 05, 2016 + + + Norway’s Ministry of Petroleum and Energy
has signed an agreement with Statoil on a feasibility study regarding CO2
storage on the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS). The study will include
various development concepts for storing CO2 at three different locations
on the NCS. It is to be completed by June 1 and is budgeted at about NOK
35 million ($4 million).
Tord Lien, Norway’s Minister of Petroleum
and Energy, said: “Carbon capture and storage (CCS) will be an important
measure in order to mitigate climate change and meet the emission targets
under the Paris Agreement.
“We are pleased that we have reached an
agreement with Statoil on conducting a feasibility study regarding CO2
storage. After nearly 20 years of experience with such storage from the
Sleipner field, Statoil is well equipped for conducting these studies.”
The ministry said its CCS strategy contains a range of activities
aimed at developing technologies for capturing, transporting, and storing
CO2, noting that the feasibility study is an important step in developing
full-scale CCS.
