Snøhvit LNG prosjekt

Snøhvit is the first offshore development in the Barents Sea. Without surface installations, this project involves bringing natural gas to land for liquefaction and export from the first plant of its kind in Europe and the worlds northernmost liquefied natural gas facility.
The seabed facilities are designed to be over-trawlable, so that neither they nor fishing equipment will suffer any damage from coming into contact.
Separating CO2
The natural gas which is piped from the Snøhvit field to Melkøya outside Hammerfest contains five to eight percent CO2. At the onshore plant on Melkøya, CO2 is separated from the natural gas and piped back to a formation at the edge of the Snøhvit reservoir, where it is stored 2600 metres beneath the seabed.
