Worley Rosenberg to fabricate subsea structures and spools for Northern Lights Phase II
- Worley Rosenberg received the fabrication scope from Subsea7 for subsea structures and spools for Northern Lights Phase II.
- Phase II will increase annual CO2 transport and storage capacity from 1.5 million tonnes to more than 5 million tonnes by 2028.
- Worley Rosenberg delivered comparable subsea structures and spools for Phase I in 2023.
- Phase I is operational from the Øygarden terminal with first CO2 volumes transported and stored in 2025; final investment decision for Phase II was taken in March 2025.
Contract and scope
Worley Rosenberg has been awarded the fabrication scope by Subsea7 to deliver subsea spools and structures for Northern Lights Phase II. The contract follows Worley Rosenberg’s delivery of comparable subsea components for Phase I in 2023.
Project context
Northern Lights is a central element of Norway’s Longship initiative and one of Europe’s most advanced CCS developments. Phase I is in operation from the Øygarden terminal, with the first volumes of CO2 transported and stored in 2025. Final investment decision for Phase II was taken in March 2025.
Capacity and timeline
Phase II will raise annual CO2 transport and storage capacity from 1.5 million tonnes to more than 5 million tonnes by 2028, intended to support decarbonisation of industrial emissions across Europe.
Implications for supply chain and capability
The fabricated subsea structures are essential to the expanded CO2 transportation system and permanent geological storage beneath the North Sea. The award sustains activity at Worley Rosenberg’s fabrication facilities and extends its position in subsea and energy‑transition markets.
