- Collaboration continues track record of SLB OneSubsea and Subsea7’s Subsea Integration Alliance

SLB announced the award of an integrated engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) contract by bp to its OneSubsea™ joint venture and Subsea7 for the Murlach development (formerly Skua field), 240 kilometers east of Aberdeen in the UK North Sea.

The Murlach project will include the first-ever implementation of SLB OneSubsea standard, configurable vertical monobore tree systems in the UK North Sea, which will be deployed by Subsea7 via vessel to reduce rig days.

Subsea Integration Alliance worked with bp to develop a solution leveraging SLB OneSubsea’s latest generation of field-proven standard equipment, which is optimized for speed of delivery and installation. SLB OneSubsea will deliver two vertical monobore trees, a two-slot manifold, and associated topside controls. Subsea7 will install 8 kilometers of rigid flowline and two flexible jumpers, including a new gas lift flowline tied back to the Eastern Trough Area Project (ETAP) facility. Fabrication of the pipelines will take place at Subsea7’s spoolbase at Vigra, Norway, and offshore operations are expected to be executed in 2025.

Olivier Blaringhem, Chief Executive Officer, Subsea Integration Alliance, said: “Subsea Integration Alliance now has three fully integrated EPCI projects with bp, and this UK project is an important milestone as it expands our EPCI collaboration into the UK North Sea market.”

Mads Hjelmeland, CEO of SLB OneSubsea, said: “Early engagement and close collaboration with bp through our Subsea Integration Alliance are what have made it possible to develop a configurable solution for the Murlach field.”
