OneSubsea forms part of Subsea Integration Alliance, which also includes Subsea7.

The alliance was recently awarded subsea, umbilical, risers and flowlines (SURF) contract by Equinor for the field development project.

With a stake of 40%, Equinor is the operator of the Bacalhau field. Other field partners include ExxonMobil, Petrogal Brasil and Pré-sal Petróleo.

The field development will include 19 subsea wells tied back to an FPSO, which will have a production capacity of 220,000 barrels per day and two million barrels in storage capacity.
