SLB OneSubsea's New Agreement with Vår Energi
In a significant move for subsea development, SLB has announced a promising agreement between its OneSubsea™ joint venture and Vår Energi. This partnership is set to provide a substantial subsea production systems (SPS) work scope. The initiative is founded on a strategic subsea partnership between the two organizations, focusing on standardizing subsea equipment vital for numerous upcoming oil and gas projects on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS).
Details of the SPS Pre-Commitment Program
The SPS pre-commitment program marks the beginning of immediate work aimed at delivering two essential equipment packages. The first package features a complete SPS system, which includes four vertical subsea trees, wellheads, templates, manifolds, umbilicals, and all other necessary SPS equipment. Vår Energi intends to deploy this equipment expediently across any field within their portfolio once delivered. Simultaneously, the second package deals with the engineering and procurement of components for another SPS system of the same size, ensuring reduced lead times for future project developments.
Leadership Comments on the Agreement
Expressing enthusiasm about the collaboration, Mads Hjelmeland, CEO of SLB OneSubsea, emphasized the importance of simplification in unlocking more resources swiftly. His remarks underline the significant commitment of Vår Energi to employing standard, configurable solutions. Hjelmeland noted, "This is a crucial step forward for our partnership, and we appreciate our collaborative relationship with Vår that leads to innovative approaches for mutual value."
Impact on Subsea Developments
The two four-well equipment packages stem from the standard, configurable subsea platform developed by SLB OneSubsea. With this agreement, Vår Energi is well-positioned to accelerate subsea developments, allowing for a marked decrease in time from finalizing investment decisions to actual delivery across their project pipeline.
