Energy services provider Expro has secured a contract to deliver integrated well testing services for a carbon capture and storage (CCS) project offshore the U.K., according to a June 19 press release.
The Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP) has commissioned Expro to provide services in appraising two wells in the Endurance reservoir for future CCS suitability. The reservoir is off England’s northeastern coast.
In December, the North Sea Transition Authority awarded its first carbon storage permit to the NEP, a joint venture between BP, TotalEnergies and Equinor.
The production and injection testing of the Endurance aquifer will provide important information that will be used to characterize the reservoir as part of the East Coast Cluster field development plan.
Expro will deliver operations using capabilities and technologies from its well testing, fluid sampling and analysis, and subsea business segments. To provide a fully integrated CCS appraisal solution, Expro has selected Baker Hughes to provide its electrical submersible pumps and Metrol Technology for other services.
The Endurance reservoir has the capacity to store up to 450 million metric tons (MMmt) of CO2. The U.K. has set targets of sequestering 20 MMmt to 30 MMmt of CO2 per year by 2030 and over 50 MMmt per year by 2035.
