Cellula Robotics Ltd. is pleased to announce the deployment of the CO2 Injection Skid for the National Oceanography Centre (NOC)’s STEMM-CCS program in the North Sea Goldeneye field. Cellula team members provided offshore support during the operation.  During the deployment, a 7m long curved pipe was successfully inserted into the seabed.

The project leveraged Cellula’s experience with seafloor geotechnical drills and remotely operated subsea equipment to provide a bespoke solution to NOC. Cellula has a track record of rapidly developing complex hydraulic subsea robotic systems that have all been completed under the control and oversight of our ISO 9001:2015 certificated Quality Management System.

STEMM-CCS is an ambitious multi-disciplinary project that will deliver new approaches, methodologies and tools for the safe operation of offshore carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) sites. CCS is a powerful mitigation strategy for addressing the increasing levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. The storage of CO2 in underground reservoirs, for example in depleted oil and gas fields or aquifers, is a demonstrated technology on land and - to a more limited extent - in marine systems. STEMM-CCS will develop approaches to help ensure we select appropriate marine storage sites and can monitor them effectively, thus further increasing confidence in CCS as a viable option for reducing atmospheric CO2.
