SLB has secured a front-end engineering design (FEED) contract from Equinor for a 12-well, all-electric subsea manufacturing methods undertaking within the Fram Sør subject offshore Norway.
This undertaking marks a major leap ahead in subsea electrification know-how, paving the best way for wider adoption and setting new benchmarks for operator management, operational effectivity, and decreased offshore emissions, SLB stated in a press launch.
As a part of the settlement, future engineering, procurement, and building will probably be immediately awarded to SLB OneSubsea conditional on a ultimate funding choice, SLB stated.
The settlement signifies the primary tangible final result of a joint {industry} undertaking launched in 2018. This collaborative effort, involving main {industry} gamers, targeted on accelerating the event and standardization of electrical subsea know-how. By establishing a standardized method, the undertaking goals to unlock environment friendly and economical scaling of subsea electrification for operators worldwide, translating into substantial capital expenditure and operational expenditure financial savings, SLB stated.
“Electrification is important to the way forward for subsea operations within the vitality transition”, stated Mads Hjelmeland, chief government officer of SLB OneSubsea. “This know-how has successfully created the IoT for subsea bushes, offering operators with improved management by dwell efficiency and situation monitoring. We’re grateful for the collaboration with Equinor and the opposite joint-industry companions over the previous six years that has made this milestone doable”.
The Fram Sør resolution leverages SLB OneSubsea’s established subsea tree design, enhanced with a totally electrical energy, management, and actuation system. Eliminating high-pressure hydraulic methods grants operators better attain and operational depth, finally boosting manufacturing and unlocking the potential of even marginal fields, in line with SLB.
