(offshore-energy.biz) Norwegian state-owned energy giant Equinor has hired Subsea Integration Alliance (SIA), a strategic alliance combining the strengths of SLB OneSubsea and Subsea7, to handle an assignment related to the next stage of its operated oil field off the coast of Brazil.
Subsea7 has confirmed Subsea Integration Alliance’s new contract with Equinor, which puts SIA in charge of the development of a concept study for the Bacalhau Phase 2 project.
This assignment, for which a deal was signed following a competitive process, will enable the work to be carried out by teams from Subsea7’s UK offices and SLB OneSubsea in Norway, with support from Brazil.
Olivier Blaringhem, Chief Executive Officer of Subsea Integration Alliance, commented: “This achievement is the result of a collaborative, integrated effort by SIA’s partners reflecting all the experience we have gained throughout Bacalhau Phase 1.”
After Equinor made the final investment decision (FID) for the $8 billion Bacalhau project in June 2021, a floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) unit for this development marked the first application of MODEC’s M350 hull, a next-generation newbuild hull for FPSOs.
