Subsea Systems Contract Secured for Norwegian Offshore Field Development

SLB’s OneSubsea™ joint venture has been awarded a contract by Aker BP to supply subsea production systems, umbilicals, and associated services for the Lyra field development on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS).

Formerly known as Kjøttkake, the Lyra field offshore Norway will be developed as a subsea tieback to existing infrastructure. The project will use proven, standardized subsea technology to reduce development complexity, improve execution efficiency, and accelerate the path to first production.

Marte Mogstad, senior vice president, Aker BP, commented, “Our alliance with SLB OneSubsea, combined with standardized subsea technology, has been central to how we are developing Lyra. The project demonstrates how we together can make marginal resources economically viable through fast track execution, with three years from discovery to first oil.”

The development strategy builds on nearly a decade of collaboration through Aker BP’s alliance model, with Aker BP and SLB OneSubsea working together from the early stages of the project to shape the approach to field development.

Mads Hjelmeland, chief executive officer, SLB OneSubsea, added, “Lyra shows what is possible with fast-track field development. Working together from the earliest stages allows us to shape development strategies around our customers’ priorities and create new opportunities for offshore resources.”

The Lyra project is intended to provide a model for fast-track field development, demonstrating an approach that could inform future developments on the NCS.
