25 AUGUST 2025 – Equinor and partners have struck oil and gas in the Fram area, nine kilometres north of the Troll field in the North Sea.

One exploration well has encountered petroleum in two reservoirs. One of the discoveries consists of both oil and gas, while the other one is just gas. In total, the resources are estimated at between 0.1 and 1.1 million standard cubic metres. The reservoir properties are assessed as moderate to very good. The preliminary name of the discovery is F-South.

“These are discoveries in an interesting area with a well-developed infrastructure. In recent years, we have made several discoveries in the neighbourhood, and we plan to further explore the area. We believe that we may encounter more, both oil and gas,” says Geir Sørtveit, Equinor's senior vice president for Exploration & Production West on the Norwegian continental shelf.

The licensees will consider tying F-South back to existing or future infrastructure.

Facts:

The licensees are:

• Equinor Energy AS: 45%
• Vår Energi ASA: 40%
• INPEX Idemitsu Norge AS: 15%

• The well was drilled by COSL Innovator.
• The discoveries were made in exploration well 35/11-31 S in production licence 090.
• The other discoveries made in this area since 2019 are: Echino South, Swisher, Røver North, Blasto, Toppand, Kveikje, Røver South, Heisenberg, Crino/Mulder, Rhombi and Ringand.
• Echino South and Blasto, together with two smaller discoveries from previous years, form the basis for the development of Fram South. The plan for development and operation of this subsea development was submitted to the authorities in June this year.

25 AUGUST 2025 – The first CO₂ volumes have now been injected and successfully stored in the reservoir 2.600 meters under the seabed. The world’s first third party CO2 transport and storage facility is now in operation, contributing to reducing European greenhouse gas emissions.

The CO2 is transported via ships from Heidelberg Materials’ cement factory in Brevik. The CO2 is then offloaded and transported through a 100-kilometer pipeline and injected into the Aurora reservoir under the seabed of the North Sea.

“With CO2 safely stored below the seabed, we mark a major milestone. This demonstrates the viability of carbon capture, transport and storage as a scalable industry. With the support from the Norwegian government and in close collaboration with our partners, we have successfully transformed this project from concept to reality,” says CEO of Equinor, Anders Opedal.

The Northern Lights Joint Venture is equally owned by Equinor, Shell and TotalEnergies. Equinor, as the Technical Service Provider (TSP), has been responsible for the construction of the Øygarden facility and the offshore facilities on behalf of the Northern Lights JV, and will also have operational responsibility of the CO2 plant.

“Lifting new value chains like CO2 capture, transport and storage requires collaboration and effort across the value chain – from governments, industry and customers. With Northern Lights in operation, we have proven that this is possible. Now, we look forward to leading safe and efficient operations on behalf of the Northern Lights partnership and use this as a stepping stone for the further development of CCS in Europe,” says Irene Rummelhoff, Executive Vice President of MMP in Equinor.

The commenced injection of CO2 completes the phase 1 of the development, which has a total capacity of 1.5 million tonnes of CO2per year (mtpa). The capacity of this phase is fully booked.

In March, the owners of Northern Lights made the final investment decision for the phase 2 of the development, which will increase transport and storage capacity to a minimum of 5 million tonnes of CO2per year. This decision was made possible after signing of an agreement to transport and store up to 900,000 tonnes CO2 annually from Stockholm Exergi. The expansion is enabled by a grant from the Connecting Europe Facility for Energy (CEF Energy) funding scheme.

The expansion of Northern Lights builds on existing infrastructure and includes additional onshore storage tanks, a new jetty, and additional injection wells. The development of phase 2 with Equinor as TSP is well underway, with the delivery of nine new CO2 storage tanks at the Øygarden site this summer.

Equinor is already one of the largest CCS developers worldwide and has an ambition of having 30-50 million tonnes per annum of CO2 transport and storage capacity by 2035. To achieve this, Equinor is working on several CCS projects in Europe and the US. These projects require a conducive policy framework and collaboration between governments, industry, customers and regulators.

About Northern Lights

• Northern Lights JV is a registered, incorporated General Partnership with Shared Liability (DA), equally owned by Equinor, TotalEnergies and Shell.
• The first phase of Northern Lights is part of Longship, the Norwegian Government’s full-scale carbon capture and storage project. Northern Lights is focusing on the transport and storage aspects of the value chain. Captured and liquefied CO2 from customer’s sites is transported by ship to the onshore receiving terminal at Øygarden.
• From the terminal, CO2 is transported via pipeline to a storage in a reservoir 2,600 meters under the seabed in the North Sea.
• The Norwegian government is providing substantial financial support, covering approximately 80% of the cost for the phase 1 of the Northern Lights project.
• The Phase 2 expansion of Northern Lights received €131 million from the EU funding programme Connecting Europe Facility for Energy (CEF Energy) in June 2024.
• The Northern Lights facility includes a receiving terminal, an injection pipeline and subsea installations.
• Equinor as the Technical Service Provider (TSP has led the construction of the onshore plant at Øygarden and the offshore facilities on behalf of Northern Lights JV and its partners. Equinor will also have operational responsibility for the CO2 plant at Øygarden.
