中国石化新闻网讯 据海上工程师数字网2023年8月22日报道，法国能源巨头道达尔能源公司周二（8月22日）宣布，道达尔能源公司已与CapeOmega达成协议，获得挪威沿海二氧化碳储存勘探许可证40%的参与权益。
位于卑尔根海岸以外120公里处，水深200米的ExL004 （Luna项目）占地453平方公里。ExL004由德国天然气公司Wintershall DEA挪威分公司运营，拥有60%的参与权益。
该许可证区域毗邻北极光二氧化碳储存项目（道达尔能源公司拥有33%股份）正在开发的许可证区域，第一阶段将于2024年开始。
道达尔能源负责碳中和业务的新业务高级副总裁Arnaud Le Foll表示：“此次交易是我们发展二氧化碳储存产品的一个重要里程碑：如果勘探成功，该地区可以储存来自欧洲难以减排的行业的数亿吨二氧化碳。”“随着北极光项目将在2024年启动，以及荷兰、丹麦和英国正在开发的其他项目，道达尔能源公司正在北海建立世界级的碳储存投资组合。挪威将在这一投资组合中发挥主导作用，这要归功于其庞大的地质资源储存设备和挪威政府的支持政策。”

TotalEnergies Buys 40% Stake in Norway CO2 Storage Exploration License
French energy company TotalEnergies announced on Tuesday it has reached a deal with CapeOmega to acquire a 40% participating interest in a CO2 storage exploration license off the coast of Norway.
Located 120 kilometers offshore Bergen in 200 meters water depth, ExL004 (the Luna project) covers an area of 453 square kilometers. ExL004 is operated by Wintershall DEA Norge AS with a 60% participating interest.
The license is adjacent to the license where the Northern Lights CO2 storage project (TotalEnergies, 33%) is under development, with a first phase due to start in 2024.
“This transaction is an important milestone to grow our CO2 storage offering: subject to a successful exploration, this area could enable the storage of several hundred million tons of CO2 from hard-to-abate industries in Europe,” said Arnaud Le Foll, Senior Vice-President New Business - Carbon Neutrality at TotalEnergies. “With the Northern Lights start-up in 2024 and other projects under development in the Netherlands, Denmark and the U.K., TotalEnergies is building a world-class carbon storage portfolio across the North Sea. Norway will play a leading role in this portfolio thanks to its large geological storages and supportive government policies.”
