SLB OneSubsea Awarded EPC Contract for Equinor’s Fram Sør Project
Subsea electrification enables large-scale tieback solution in the North Sea

SLB OneSubsea will deliver 4 subsea templates and 12 all-electric subsea trees, eliminating the need for hydraulic fluid supplied by the host platform and keeping topside modifications to a minimum.
The award follows a collaborative, year-long , where Equinor and SLB OneSubsea jointly matured the project, culminating in the development plan and final investment decision (FID). As part of the resulting EPC scope, SLB OneSubsea will deliver four subsea templates and 12 all-electric subsea trees, eliminating the need for hydraulic fluid supplied by the host platform and keeping topside modifications to a minimum. This approach unlocks a cost-effective solution for the project while retaining topside space for additional, future expansion projects in the area.
“Fram Sør is a breakthrough project for our industry � marking the first large-scale all-electric subsea production system,� said Mads Hjelmeland, chief executive officer of SLB OneSubsea. “Not only do all-electric subsea solutions significantly reduce topside needs to make large-scale tiebacks such as the Fram Sør development possible, but they also hold the key to unlock more marginal resources through their reduced footprint and simplified operations.�
The project will be developed as a subsea tieback to the host platform Troll C in the North Sea, contributing to the security of energy supply from the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS) to
The contract is subject to regulatory approval of the plan for development and operations (PDO).
