SLB OneSubsea secures Aker BP contract for Norway's Lyra field

 SLB's OneSubsea joint venture has secured a contract from Aker BP to supply subsea production systems, umbilicals and related services for the Lyra field development on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.

The project, formerly known as Kjøttkake, builds on nearly a decade of collaboration between the companies under Aker BP's alliance model.

Lyra will be developed as a subsea tieback to existing infrastructure, using standardised technology to reduce complexity, improve execution efficiency and accelerate first production.

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

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