Yesterday, Schlumberger&#8217;s OneSubsea joint venture entered an agreement with Vår Energi to deliver a subsea production systems work scope, aimed at supporting multiple upcoming oil and gas developments on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.

The second package focuses on the engineering and procurement of a similar SPS system, which will allow for reduced lead times in future developments.
