Subsea7’s Post

Today, we're thrilled to announce that we’ve been awarded the FEED for the Fram Sør field, offshore Norway by Equinor! What’s more, the award also includes a single source EPC option for OneSubsea, conditional on a final investment decision. 🌊 This is such an incredible milestone, as it marks the world’s first-ever, large scale all-electric Subsea Production Systems (SPS) project. With its 12-well scope, Fram Sør will pave the way for accelerated industry-wide adoption of all-electric subsea technology, which is a crucial enabler for expanding the frontiers of tie-backs, including helping to make more marginal fields viable. OneSubsea has a long heritage in subsea electrification, and we see this project as a major step forward towards maturing and industrializing this technology for the industry. And, we’re excited to be part of setting a new standard for subsea electrification, which promises increased operator control, enhanced efficiency, and reduced emissions. 🚀 Born from a joint industry project (JIP) launched in 2018, this initiative represents a major leap forward in subsea technology. As Mads Hjelmeland, CEO of OneSubsea, says, "Electrification is vital to the future of subsea operations in the energy transition. Our technology essentially creates the IoT for subsea trees, providing operators with live performance and condition monitoring." A huge thank you to Equinor for the journey so far. Also, a special thank you to the other JIP members TotalEnergies, The Research Council of Norway, Wintershall Dea, OMV, Vår Energi and Aker BP ASA for their support, as well as to our incredible development TEAM who contributed to this great achievement. Last, but not least a big thank you to our colleagues at Aker Solutions for the many years of collaboration, especially the Tranby team! The Fram Sør solution uses OneSubsea’s standard subsea tree design, upgraded with a fully electrified power, control and actuation system, with the same standard interfaces and tooling as traditional trees resulting in significant efficiency gains across new and existing fields. We’re proud to drive this new subsea era together.🤝 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gbJ66E-3   #SubseaInnovation #EnergyTransition #Sustainability

Recently Subsea7 joined the NSE programme. We interviewed Stian Sande, Strategy Director Energy Transition to get to know this new partner. "Stian, who is Subsea7 and what do you do?"   "Subsea7 is a global leader in the delivery of offshore projects and services for the energy industry. We are making the offshore energy transition possible through the continuous evolution of lower-carbon oil and gas and by enabling the growth of renewables and emerging energy.   We provide project management, engineering, procurement, construction and installation expertise across the full energy lifecycle. Our focus is very much at a system level, and we enable the design and construction of complex subsea systems through the application of our own, our key suppliers’ and our partners’, technology and equipment.  Our services are delivered to clients across the energy landscape, covering oil and gas, carbon capture and storage (CCS), offshore wind (fixed and floating) and emerging energies such as offshore hydrogen and energy storage."   "What is Subsea7 doing in the energy transition? What is your role in offshore systems integration?"   "Our role is to support our clients to deliver the offshore energy solutions the world needs for today and tomorrow. By developing technology and providing services for offshore wind, CCS, green hydrogen, and energy storage.   Seaway7, part of the Subsea7 Group, has installed over 1,100 wind turbine generator foundations, 35 substations and over 2,600km of power cables in Europe, Asia and the USA. In addition to technology and services for fixed wind developments, the company has invested in floating wind technology and continue to develop cost-effective innovative solutions to make offshore floating wind possible.   In 2021, Equinor awarded Subsea7 a contract to participate in the development of Northern Lights, a Joint Venture between Equinor, Shell and TotalEnergies, which studied pipeline transportation and permanent storage of CO2 in a subsea North Sea reservoir. During this project, we laid a pipeline to store 1.5mt of CO2 per year for the first phase development. We are also involved in several CCS related Joint Industry Projects led by DNV. Additionally, we are working on projects to better understand CO2 supercritical flows and steel aging under related physico-chemical conditions.   We have also developed an innovative ecosystem of offshore hydrogen capabilities and technologies, and an active member of several industry forums and technology joint initiatives, notably with AquaVentus. We have conducted several studies for major industrial players and key suppliers and gained valuable expertise on offshore hydrogen production architectures and integrated offshore wind. We see the combination of the key building blocks of offshore wind, offshore hydrogen, energy storage, CCS, and..." Want to read the full interview? 👉 https://lnkd.in/ePAFk44V

The BORA Blue Ocean Research Alliance®, a partnership between NOC and Subsea7, is enabling expansion of scientific observations into new areas of the world's oceans through the ‘Eyes in the Ocean’ project. 👁️ By using Subsea7’s unique operational vessel access to the ocean, EITO enables the close monitoring of different ocean characteristics which will then be analysed by scientists at NOC.

Colleagues from Subsea7 are representing Seaway7 this week at Seanergy in Nantes, France, where the team are presenting a poster about our subsea hub for floating wind. The team will be there again tomorrow and Friday so be sure to pop by to hear about our innovative approach which addresses some of the challenges in floating wind by maximising uptime and reducing complexity and cost. #Seaenergy24 #floatingwind #makingfloatingwindpossible
