Subsea7 has awarded Worley Rosenberg a contract for the fabrication of key subsea structures and spools supporting the second phase of the Northern Lights carbon transport and storage project in Norway.
The scope includes the fabrication of subsea spools and structures for Northern Lights Phase II and follows Worley Rosenberg's delivery of comparable subsea structures and spools for the project's first phase in 2023.
“This award strengthens our position in the growing subsea market and further expands our role in delivering infrastructure that enables large‑scale CO2 reduction," said Jan Narvestad, Managing Director of Worley Rosenberg.
“CCS will be a critical part of achieving global climate goals, particularly for industries where emissions are difficult to eliminate. Northern Lights is one of the most important CCS projects under development today. The award secures activity for our fabrication facilities and deepens our competitive reach in delivering infrastructure for the energy transition.”
To remind, the joint venture of Equinor, Shell and TotalEnergies injected and stored the first CO2 volumes as part of the Northern Lights project in August 2025, marking the start of operations of what is said to be the world’s first third-party CO2 transport and storage facility.
The project’s first phase is part of Longship, the Norwegian Government’s full-scale carbon capture and storage project (CCS). Phase I is in operation from the Øygarden terminal outside Bergen.
The JV partners announced in March 2025 the final investment decision (FID) for the second phase, which will increase the project's capacity from 1.5 million tons of CO2 per annum (mtpa) to more than 5 mtpa.
