Schlumberger Expands Subsea Partnership with Vår Energi: Details

Schlumberger N.V. SLB shares are trading relatively flat in the premarket session on Wednesday after jumping over 2% yesterday.

Yesterday, Schlumberger’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.

According to Benzinga Pro, SLB stock has lost over 15% in the past year.

This collaboration, which builds on an existing strategic subsea partnership, will fast-track subsea developments by leveraging standardized, configurable subsea equipment.

The work begins immediately with the delivery of two key equipment packages that will streamline future project timelines.
