Shearwater congratulates the Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP), Net Zero Teesside Power (NZT Power), and Denmark’s Greensand project for reaching Final Investment Decision (FID) this week.

These milestones represent important steps in advancing global carbon capture and storage (CCS) efforts, and Shearwater is proud to play a key role in enabling this progress.

Shearwater provided high-quality seismic processing and processing services to support the NEP project and its Endurance offshore storage site, the UK’s first large-scale carbon storage facility.

By delivering accurate subsurface imaging, Shearwater’s expertise enables the safe and efficient development of storage sites, ensuring the long-term success of CCS initiatives.

Endurance, located 75km off the coast of Teesside, will store up to 100 million tonnes of CO2 with injection capacity expected by 2027. This facility, managed by bp as part of a collaboration with Equinor and TotalEnergies, is a cornerstone of the UK’s pathway to net zero emissions. 

Beyond Endurance, Shearwater continues to expand its CCS portfolio, offering advanced geophysical acquisition, processing, and reprocessing solutions to support low-carbon energy projects worldwide.

These FIDs are a testament to the importance of CCS in tackling global emissions, and Shearwater is proud to deliver the cutting-edge solutions needed to turn these ambitions into reality.
