Worley Rosenberg wins Subsea7 contract for Northern Lights CCS project

(WO) — Worley Rosenberg has been awarded a fabrication contract by Subsea7 for subsea structures and spools supporting Phase II of Norway’s Northern Lights CCS project.

The scope includes fabrication of subsea spools and structures for the expanded carbon dioxide transport and storage system. Worley Rosenberg previously delivered similar equipment for Phase I in 2023. The infrastructure will support the transport of captured CO2 for permanent storage beneath the North Sea seabed.

Northern Lights Phase II is expected to increase the project’s annual CO₂ transport and storage capacity from 1.5 million tonnes to more than 5 million tonnes by 2028. The expansion follows a final investment decision in March 2025 and builds on Phase I, which began operations at the Øygarden terminal outside Bergen, Norway, with the first CO2 volumes transported and stored in 2025.

Northern Lights is part of Norway’s Longship CCS initiative, which is intended to provide infrastructure for transporting and storing CO₂ captured from industrial facilities. The expanded capacity is designed to support additional carbon storage volumes from emitters in Norway and other European countries.

“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.
