Offshore contractor Subsea7 has selected engineering firm Worley Rosenberg to fabricate critical subsea structures and pipe spools for the Phase 2 expansion of the Northern Lights carbon dioxide transport and storage project in Norway.
The scope of work covers the construction of subsea spools and structural assemblies required to connect expanded offshore injection infrastructure. The contract builds on Worley Rosenberg’s previous delivery of subsea components during the first phase of the project 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. “The award secures activity for our fabrication facilities and deepens our competitive reach in delivering infrastructure for the energy transition.”
The Northern Lights joint venture, owned equally by Equinor, Shell, and TotalEnergies, injected and stored its first commercial CO2 volumes in August 2025, establishing the facility as the world’s first operational cross-border, third-party carbon transport and storage network.
The project’s initial phase, developed under the Norwegian Government’s Longship CCS umbrella, operates from an onshore receiving terminal at Øygarden, outside Bergen, with a processing and storage capacity of 1.5 million tons per annum (MTPA).
Following a Final Investment Decision (FID) reached in March 2025, the Phase 2 expansion will scale total annual subsea injection capacity to over 5 MTPA.
The added capacity will accommodate growing demand from industrial emitters across Europe seeking maritime transport and permanent subsea geological storage beneath the North Sea seabed.
