Gassnova has overall responsibility for the research, development and implementation of CCS technology in Norway and AGR will support Gassnova by offering technical expertise across geoscience, reservoir and drilling disciplines, in addition to facilities and cost engineering.
AGR will be involved in the early stages of the project the aim of which is to evaluate solutions developed for CCS which will later be developed into the Front End Engineering Design (FEED) phase.
Svein Sollund, CEO of AGR (pictured), said: “We have worked with the team at Gassnova closely in the past and have a great relationship with them. We’re delighted to have been selected once again to support the organisation through this exciting period where a technical concept will be selected and developed.
