The contract aims to enhance production efficiency at BP’s Thunder Horse field in the Gulf of Mexico using standardized subsea solutions.
BP has awarded SLB OneSubsea a contract to supply a subsea boosting system for the Thunder Horse project in the Gulf of Mexico. The agreement covers engineering, procurement, and construction, including project management and testing, though financial details remain undisclosed.
The Thunder Horse field, operated by BP with a 75% stake, produces up to 250,000 barrels of oil and 200 million cubic feet of gas daily. This contract follows similar awards for BP’s Kaskida and Tiber developments, leveraging standardized subsea solutions to improve execution efficiency.
SLB OneSubsea, a joint venture between SLB, Aker Solutions, and Subsea7, emphasized the role of subsea boosting in extending asset production. The approach is designed to accelerate deployment and optimize field performance.
