Northern Lights, while the frst project of the kind in Norway, is not the frst offshore carbon storage project in the country. Namely, according to the Norwegian Petroleum

Directorate, since 1996, CO2 has been removed from the Sleipner Vest gas in the

North Sea and injected in the Utsira Formation. One million tonnes of CO2 from the

Equinor-operated Sleipner feld are stored in the subsurface every year.

Also, according to NPD, since 2007, 700 000 tonnes of CO2 per year has been stored at the Snøhvit offshore feld in the Barents Sea. CO2 is separated from the gas in the process facility on Melkøya before it is sent by pipeline down into a reservoir located around 140 kilometers from land. Regular surveys are performed to monitor how injected CO2 flls the storage area.
