BP has awarded SLB, OneSubsea and Subsea7 an integrated engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) contract for the major’s Murlach development in the U.K. North Sea.
BP’s Murlach development, previously known as the Skua Field, is 240 km east of Aberdeen, Scotland.
The project work scope EPCI of the subsea pipelines and production systems at Murlach. It includes the first deployment of OneSubsea’s standard, configurable, vertical monobore tree systems, which will be deployed via a Subsea7 vessel to reduce drill rig days.
Subsea Integration Alliance, a strategic global alliance between SLB OneSubsea and Subsea7, 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 km 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. Offshore operations are expected to be executed in 2025.
“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,” said Olivier Blaringhem, CEO at Subsea Integration Alliance.
OneSubsea is a joint venture backed by SLB, Aker Solutions and Subsea7 headquartered in Oslo and Houston.
