Global offshore projects and services provider Subsea7 has announced a significant contract award from Equinor, a multinational energy company, for the Fram Sør development project offshore Norway.

The contract encompasses engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) services for subsea structures and flowlines, encompassing 53km of various lines and an umbilical system. The lines include water injection and gas lift.

Commencement of engineering and project management is set to begin immediately across Subsea7's offices in Norway and the UK.

Offshore installation activities for the Fram Sør project are scheduled to take place in 2026, 2027 and 2028.

Situated 10–30km north of the Troll C platform operated by Equinor and roughly 70km north-west of Bergen, the Fram Sør area will be integrated with the existing Fram and Troll C infrastructure.

Subsea 7 Norway vice-president Erik Femsteinevik said: “This award continues our long-standing collaboration with Equinor. The FEED [front-end engineering and design] study enabled Subsea7 to engage early in the field development process, optimising design solutions and contributing to the final investment decision.

“We look forward to working closely with Equinor to deliver the Fram Sør development safely and efficiently.”

The contract, which comes after a FEED contract awarded on 9 January 2025, is contingent upon the authority's approval of the plan for development and operations.

Earlier in the year, Subsea7 also secured a contract for a FEED study from ConocoPhillips Skandinavia for the Previously Produced Fields development project offshore Norway.

In addition, Subsea7 won a contract from Petrobras for the development of the Búzios 11 field, situated 180km off the coast of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
