Wedoany.com Report-Aug. 7, Halliburton has been awarded a contract to provide completions and downhole monitoring services for the Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP) carbon capture and storage (CCS) system, part of the East Coast Cluster (ECC) in north-east England. The project supports efforts to reduce carbon emissions through advanced storage solutions.

The required equipment for the CCS project will be primarily manufactured at Halliburton’s UK completion manufacturing facility in Arbroath, Scotland.

The necessary equipment for the CCS initiative will be primarily produced at Halliburton’s completion manufacturing facility in Arbroath, Scotland. This facility, operational for over 50 years, supports North Sea activities with robust manufacturing, product development, and testing capabilities, ensuring high-quality outputs for the NEP project.

Jean-Marc Lopez, Halliburton’s Senior Vice-President for Europe, Eurasia, and Sub-Saharan Africa, stated: “Halliburton is pleased to develop and deliver innovative well completions and monitoring solutions for this groundbreaking carbon storage project. This project allows expansion of our completions activity and showcases Halliburton’s leadership in CCS projects. We look forward to the opportunity to deliver our services to support the NEP project.” The contract highlights Halliburton’s expertise in sustainable energy solutions.

The NEP infrastructure is designed to manage a CO₂ collection network, onshore compression facilities, a 145-km offshore pipeline, and subsea injection and monitoring systems for the Endurance saline aquifer, located approximately 1,000 meters beneath the sea floor. The system is engineered to transport and store up to four million tonnes of CO₂ annually, contributing to emission reduction goals in the region.

Established in 2020, NEP is a joint venture between Equinor, bp, and TotalEnergies, serving as the CO₂ transportation and storage provider for the ECC. The partnership focuses on capturing and storing emissions from industrial clusters in Teesside and Humber, supporting the UK’s sustainability objectives.

In addition to the NEP contract, Halliburton secured a five-year agreement earlier in 2025 with Repsol Resources UK to enhance the full well life cycle for Repsol’s platform assets in the UK North Sea. This demonstrates Halliburton’s ongoing commitment to supporting energy projects in the region.

The NEP CCS project represents a significant step toward sustainable industrial practices, leveraging advanced technology to address environmental challenges. By providing critical services and equipment, Halliburton contributes to the development of a robust carbon storage system, aligning with global efforts to promote cleaner energy solutions.
