Eni UK has been awarded a carbon dioxide appraisal and storage (CS) licence by the Oil and Gas Authority (OGA).
Under the licence, which covers an area located within the Liverpool Bay area of the East Irish Sea, Eni plans to reuse and repurpose depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs (the Hamilton, Hamilton North and Lennox fields) and associated infrastructure to permanently store CO2 captured in North West England and North Wales.
