Customer challenge

Reduce carbon footprint from Equinor-operated Hammerfest LNG, Northern Norway. The facility receives and processes natural gas from the Snøhvit field in the Barents Sea. At the facility condensate, water and CO2 are separated from the well stream. CO2 is returned to the field and stored.

  • 160 km pipelines from shore, no surface installation
  • CO2 is returned and stored in separate formation under the reservoirs
  • Capacity 700 000 tonnes CO2 per year
