Medway Hub CCS Project
The Medway Hub Camelot CCS project is centred on the Camelot field in the Southern North Sea where Synergia Energy and its JV partner, Harbour Energy have an NSTA carbon storage license, license number CS019.
The project comprises the transportation of CO2 emissions from coastal CCGT power stations and from continental European carbon hubs in liquid form by marine tanker to a Floating Injection, Storage and Offloading vessel (FISO) from which the CO2 would be injected into the Camelot depleted gas field and the overlying Bunter saline aquifer.
The CCS project is contemplated to be a merchant scheme whereby emitters would pay for the transportation and storage of CO2 under long-term contracts, instead of incurring the cost of carbon allowances.
The CCS project is subject to contracts with carbon emitters, regulatory approvals and funding.
Synergia Energy have been working through the Site Characterisation phase of the NSTA-defined work program.
On 9 June 2026 Synergia participated in an NSTA-hosted Legacy Well Integrity workshop in London. During a review of the Company's comprehensive Legacy Well Risk Assessment report, two legacy wells (53/01-4 and 53/01-6) were deemed to be unable to meet the NSTA"s "no significant risk of leekage" criterion. The wells had been abandoned by the then operator Mobil with open Hoel sections in the Leman Sandstone and Zechstein formations. Abandonment reports have not been able to be located and the wells cannot be re-abandoned due to the likelihood of the open hole sections having collapsed over the last 50 years since abandonment.
As a result, Synergia and JV partner, Harbour Energy plan to request a relinquishment of the CS019 licence.
