This agreement is driven by the strategic initiative to reduce the CO2 emissions in the North Sea by 2030, which also fits with Equinor’s strategy to move towards carbon free production.

Partnering with Equinor and OGTC to drive the reduction of CO2 emissions
NOV signed an agreement with Equinor and the OGTC as a part of the qualification for an oil and condensates unmanned subsea storage system.

NOV recently signed an agreement with Equinor and the Oil & Gas Technology Centre (OGTC) in the UK as a part of the qualification for an oil and gas condensates unmanned subsea storage system, providing a low CO2 solution for replacing floating storage units.
Accelerating the development and deployment of technologies that move the dial on carbon reduction, enabling the UKCS to become the world’s first net zero oil and gas basin, is a priority of the OGTC. In particular, this project aligns with our Marginal Developments Roadmap focus areas to support reusable subsea equipment and effective fluid handling. NOV’s subsea oil storage system has the potential to dramatically lower the cost and environmental impact by utilizing modern materials and a modular design, so it can be redeployed between developments whilst also providing more efficient fluid handling.
