Harbour继续以60%的股份作为Viking CCS的运营商，英国石油公司获得40%的非运营股份。
Viking CCS位于工业化程度较高的亨伯地区附近，据Harbour称，有可能实现英国政府到2030年每年捕获和储存3000万吨二氧化碳的目标的三分之一。
在宣布这一消息之前，英国政府最近决定启动其CCS集群测序过程的第二轨道，并承认Vikin CCS是这一过程的两个主要运输和存储系统竞争者之一。
Harbour Energy表示：“Vikin项目的交付可能会对该地区产生变革，在未来十年内，可能会在整个二氧化碳捕获、运输和储存价值链上释放高达70亿英镑的投资，在施工期间创造超过10000个就业机会，并为亨伯及其周边地区提供约40亿英镑的总附加值。”。
Harbour和英国石油公司已经对林肯郡海上集气系统(LOGGS)管道有共同的兴趣，该管道计划作为该项目的一部分重新利用。
Harbour Energy表示：“这提供了一个独特的、低成本的机会，可以将客户连接到枯竭的Vikin气田，该气田最近对其3亿吨二氧化碳储存能力进行了独立验证。”。
Viking CCS还可以进入英国联合港口伊明汉港计划中的新二氧化碳运输码头，有可能将来自英国其他地方和国际上分散排放者的二氧化碳运输到Viking油田内进行永久封存。
根据轨道2集群排序过程的结果，预计2024年将做出最终投资决定。Harbour表示，该项目最早可能在2027年投入运营，到2030年，每年大约储存1000万吨二氧化碳。
UK-based oil and gas company Harbour Energy and oil major BP on Monday said they had agreed to develop the Viking CCS transportation and storage project in the UK.
Harbour continues as operator of Viking CCS with a 60%, with BP acquiring a 40% non-operated share.
The Viking CCS is located close to the heavily industrialized Humber region, and, according to Harbour, has the potential to meet one third of the UK Government's target to capture and store up to 30 million tonnes of CO2 a year by 2030.
The announcement follows the UK Government's recent decision to launch Track 2 of its CCS cluster sequencing process, and its recognition that Viking CCS is one of two leading transport and storage system contenders for this process.
"The delivery of the Viking project could be transformational for the region, potentially unlocking up to £7 billion of investment across the full CO2 capture, transport, and storage value chain over the next decade, creating over 10,000 jobs during construction, and providing an estimated £4 billion of gross value add (GVA) to the Humber and its surrounding areas," Harbour Energy said.
Harbour and BP already share an interest in the Lincolnshire Offshore Gas Gathering System (LOGGS) pipeline which is intended to be repurposed as part of the project.
"This provides a unique, low-cost opportunity to connect customers to the depleted Viking gas fields, which recently had their 300 million tonnes of CO2 storage capacity independently verified," Harbour Energy said.
Viking CCS also has access to a planned new CO2 shipping terminal at Associated British Ports' Port of Immingham, with the potential for shipped CO2 from dispersed emitters elsewhere in the UK and internationally to be transported for permanent storage within the Viking fields.
Subject to the outcome of the Track 2 Cluster Sequencing Process, a final investment decision is expected in 2024. The project could be operational as early as 2027 and potentially store up to 10 million tonnes of CO2 per year by 2030, Harbour said.
