TotalEnergies EP Nederland has awarded a multi-million-dollar front-end engineering design (FEED) contract to Petrofac for a CO2 injection platform as part of the Aramis carbon capture and storage (CCS) project in the Netherlands.
The contract encompasses the decommissioning of existing topsides and the installation of a new repurposed platform, which will connect to the Aramis CO2 distribution network. This follows an earlier FEED award to Petrofac for designing a 32-inch CO2 trunkline, including onshore, landfall, and offshore sections, as well as the offshore CO2 distribution hub platform for the Aramis system.
John Pearson, Chief Operating Officer of Energy Transition Projects at Petrofac, commented, “This award highlights our ability to deliver essential engineering and project management expertise across the CCS value chain. This project, as part of the broader Aramis development, is crucial for the Netherlands’ goal of capturing millions of tonnes of CO2 from industrial sources. We are proud to contribute to these ambitious targets.”
The Aramis project aims to significantly reduce CO₂ emissions from hard-to-abate industries by providing a transport solution that unlocks storage capacity. The CO₂ will be stored in depleted offshore gas fields beneath the North Sea, with the system designed to accommodate additional industrial customers and storage fields incrementally.
Located at the Maasvlakte in the Port of Rotterdam, the project offers CO₂ transport and storage services to various industrial clusters. It is a collaborative effort involving TotalEnergies, Shell Netherlands, Energie Beheer Nederland (EBN), and Gasunie.
