SLB Reports $210 Million Loss Linked to Carbon Capture Project with Aker Carbon Capture
SLB has reported a $210 million loss related to its carbon capture joint venture, SLB Capturi, due to an impairment and goodwill write-down, underscoring the challenges of large-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) efforts. Despite this setback, SLB Capturi continues to expand its operations in Europe, having delivered five modular capture units in Denmark and completed the world's first full-scale carbon capture facility at a cement plant in Norway. The company is also working on a system to capture CO2 at a waste-to-energy facility in the Netherlands, highlighting both the risks and potential in the CCS sector.

SLB has reported a substantial financial loss of approximately $210 million tied to its carbon capture joint venture, SLB Capturi, with Aker Carbon Capture. The loss is attributed to an impairment and goodwill write-down, highlighting the risks in large-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) deployment.
SLB Capturi, in which SLB holds an 80% stake, focuses on carbon capture solutions for hard-to-abate sectors. Despite the financial setback, SLB Capturi continues to expand its portfolio in Europe, delivering five modular capture units in Denmark to target 500,000 tons of CO2 removal annually, and completing the world's first full-scale carbon capture facility at a cement plant in Norway, capable of capturing 400,000 tons of CO2 per year.
The company has also initiated a system at a waste-to-energy facility in the Netherlands to capture 100,000 tons of CO2 annually. These developments illustrate the ongoing challenges and opportunities in the CCS sector.
