Viking CCS

Led by Harbour Energy (60% interest, operated), with non-operated partner bp (40% interest), Viking aims to transport and store CO2 in secure offshore storage sites in the UK’s Southern Gas Basin. In 2023, Viking was selected in Track 2 of the UK government’s regulatory process.

Located in the Humber, the UK’s most industrialised region and largest emitter of CO2, the project is central to establishing a world leading CCS industry in the UK and meeting the UK Government’s net zero emissions targets. The proposed development concept includes a new onshore pipeline from Immingham to Theddlethorpe, re-use of the existing LOGGS pipeline, and new offshore platforms that will inject CO2 into depleted Viking area gas fields.

Working with a wide range of emissions capture and infrastructure members, the project will create a CO2 capture, transportation and storage network targeting a reduction of up to 10 million tonnes of UK emissions per annum by the end of 2030 and up to 15 million tonnes per annum by 2035, materially contributing to the UK’s goal of 20 to 30 mtpa by 2030. Further, through Harbour Energy's relationship with Associated British Ports, Viking CCS also has the potential to provide storage for shipped CO2 from dispersed emitters around the UK and also from Europe.

Viking CCS has 300 million tonnes of independently evaluated, gross CO2 storage capacity (2C resource) and in September 2023, was awarded two additional CO2 storage licenses adjacent to its existing Viking license, potentially increasing the project's storage capacity by 50%.

Acorn

Harbour Energy has a 30% non-operated interest in the Acorn project, alongside Storegga, Shell, and North Sea Midstream Partners. Acorn is developing projects to capture and store CO2 emissions and establish hydrogen infrastructure in Scotland. During 2023, alongside the Viking CCS Project, the Acorn Project was selected in Track 2 of the UK government’s regulatory process.

CO2 emissions will be captured from a range of emitters including the St Fergus gas terminals, Peterhead power station and a National Grid-owned feeder pipeline which will transport emissions from the Grangemouth and Mossmorran industrial areas. The transport and storage system will use the Goldeneye pipeline to transport CO2 offshore for sequestration in depleted reservoirs.

Acorn is expected to store at least 5 million tonnes of CO2 per year by 2030, and is designed to service multiple emitters around Scotland, the UK and Europe. Following its first storage licence award in 2018, Acorn was also granted licences from the UK North Sea Transition Authority in 2023. The licences were awarded for the Acorn East and East Mey CO2 stores, expanding its transport and storage system’s capacity deep beneath the North Sea.
