Subsea 7 awarded contract by Equinor for carbon capture project

Subsea 7 has been awarded a major contract by Equinor for works at its Northern Lights carbon capture project.  

The contract scope includes engineering, fabrication and installation of a 100km CO2 pipeline that will run from Øygarden to the CO2 storage complex, as well as installation of umbilicals, tie-in and pre-commissioning activities.
