Vital carbon storage capacity below the North Sea, critical to the pioneering move to clean up South Humber Bank industry in the journey to Net Zero, has been verified.
Harbour Energy has announced that its understanding of there being 300 million tonnes of accessible resource for the Viking CCS project has been independently assessed. The team behind it said it “underscores the vital role it can play in enabling the UK Government to reach its target to capture up to 30 million tonnes a year of CO2 by 2030”.
The oil and gas specialist was granted the CO2 appraisal and storage licence for the depleted Viking area in 2021, having bought the assets - which included the Grainthorpe terminal - from ConocoPhillips.
