SLB OneSubsea wins subsea systems contract for Aker BP's Lyra field in Norway

SLB OneSubsea, the joint venture of SLB, Aker Solutions and Subsea7, was awarded a contract by Aker BP to deliver subsea production equipment, umbilicals and related services for the Lyra development on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. The fast‑track project targets first oil in 2028, three years after discovery. CEO Mads Hjelmeland said early collaboration with the operator allows the partners to shape the field strategy and speed up execution.

The contract adds to SLB OneSubsea's order backlog and should generate revenue from the Lyra field once production begins in 2028. Investors in SLB may see incremental earnings from the new subsea systems work.
