Subsea7 Awards Northern Lights CCS Project Contract to Worley Rosenberg

Worley Rosenberg has secured a new fabrication contract from Subsea7 to produce subsea spools and structures for Phase II of the Northern Lights carbon capture and storage (CCS) initiative in Norway. This builds on Worley Rosenberg’s prior delivery of subsea equipment during the project’s first phase in 2023.

The Phase II expansion aims to scale the project’s annual CO2 transport and storage capacity from 1.5 million tonnes to over 5 million tonnes by 2028. This follows a final investment decision slated for March 2025. Phase I operations commenced at the Øygarden terminal near Bergen, Norway, with initial CO2 storage operations taking place in 2025.

As a core element of Norway’s broader Longship CCS program, Northern Lights delivers critical infrastructure to collect CO2 from industrial sources and permanently store it beneath the seabed in the North Sea. The additional capacity established in Phase II will accommodate carbon emissions captured from both Norwegian and broader European industrial facilities.

Jan Narvestad, managing director of Worley Rosenberg, noted that the contract reinforces the company’s standing in the subsea sector and advances its contributions to large-scale carbon reduction infrastructure.
