Global energy technology company SLB has announced that its OneSubsea™ joint venture has been awarded an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract by Equinor for a 12-well, all-electric Subsea Production System (SPS) in the Fram Sør field, offshore Norway.
The award follows a collaborative, year-long Front-End Engineering Design phase, where Equinor and SLB OneSubsea jointly matured the project, culminating in the development plan and final investment decision (FID). As part of the resulting EPC scope, SLB OneSubsea will deliver four subsea templates and 12 all-electric subsea trees, eliminating the need for hydraulic fluid supplied by the host platform and keeping topside modifications to a minimum. This approach unlocks a cost-effective solution for the project while retaining topside space for additional, future expansion projects in the area.
The project will be developed as a subsea tieback to the host platform Troll C in the North Sea, contributing to the security of energy supply from the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS) to Europe. Benefitting from a host that is powered from Norwegian shores, the production from Fram Sør will have very low emissions.
The contract is subject to regulatory approval of the plan for development and operations (PDO).
