SLB OneSubsea, a joint venture backed by SLB, Aker Solutions, and Subsea7, has won a contract from energy major BP for a subsea boosting system in the Tiber deepwater development off the US. This engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract for Tiber comes in close succession to the award of a sister subsea boosting system for BP’s Kaskida development. Both projects, which target prolific Paleogene reserves, leverage the same standardised high-pressure subsea pump system solution. “We are seeing more and more operators adopt subsea boosting strategies that free up topside space and reduce power requirements,” said Mads Hjelmeland, CEO at SLB OneSubsea. Tiber is part of the 100% BP-owned Tiber-Guadalupe project and will be BP’s seventh operated oil and gas production hub in the Gulf of Mexico, featuring a new floating production platform with the capacity to produce 80,000 barrels of crude oil per day. The project includes six wells in the Tiber field and a two-well tieback from the Guadalupe field. Production is expected to start in 2030. Tiber-Guadalupe and Kaskida are centrepieces of BP’s newbuild projects, and along with the five existing operating platforms in the Gulf, they will boost the supermajor’s capacity to produce more than 400,000 boe per day from the US offshore region by the end of the decade. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1_95_0_1_2'); }); TagsUnited Kingdom United States
