Vår Energi Pre-Orders Subsea Systems to Accelerate Oil and Gas Developments

Norwegian oil and gas company Vår Energi has signed a letter of intent with OneSubsea for the delivery of Subsea Production Systems (SPS) to reduce project development time. The pre-commitment will give Vår Energi the ability to shorten subsea tie-back development time by up to one year.  The pre-commitment agreement comprises a complete Subsea Production System, which include a standard four-well slot template and a single well satellite structure. The order is to be delivered prior to summer 2027, while parts necessary for drilling will be delivered in 2026.Further, the

New Project Marks Tipping Point for Subsea Electrification

have been made across the industry to make this capability a reality, and we now see several projects on the horizon that use all-electric as their base case.”The first project is the recent contract award from Equinor for the front-end engineering design (FEED) of a 12-well, all-electric subsea production systems project in the Fram Sør field, offshore Norway. The solution will use SLB OneSubsea’s standard subsea tree design, upgraded with a fully electrified power, control and actuation system.“You can only go so far by optimizing component-level performance,” says Macleod
