Petrofac starts FEED for Neptune's L10 carbon storage project in Netherlands

Petrofac has initiated the front-end engineering design (FEED) for Neptune Energy's L10 carbon storage infrastructure that will connect to carbon capture, transportation and storage project, Aramis, in the Netherlands, it said on December 13. 

Neptune, in collaboration with partners EBN, Tenaz Energy, and ExxonMobil, envisions storing up to 5mn tonnes/year of carbon dioxide (CO2) from local industrial emitters. Petrofac's role extends to the first two phases of the L10 project, specifically L10 South (1A) and L10 North (1B), with execution led by its consulting team based in Woking, UK.

The L10-South phase entails the installation of an L10 hub/injection platform within the L10 south storage complex. Additionally, a spur line will be established, connecting the Aramis DHUB platform to the L10 hub platform. Meanwhile, the L10-North phase focuses on installing an injection platform (L10-Y) in the L10 north storage complex (L10-BE) and an inter-field pipeline connecting the L10 hub and injection platform.

The FEED is expected to complete in the second half of 2024, and Neptune aims to progress towards a final investment decision in 2025.
