(WO) – Vår Energi has selected SLB as its main integrated drilling services supplier for the Transocean Barents and Deepsea Bergen rigs on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. The selection covers an initial four-year period, with four one-year extension options that could run the work through 2034. The two harsh-environment semisubmersibles will drill exploration and development wells continuously over that period.
Under the integrated model, SLB will work with Vår Energi and other selected service and technology providers to connect well planning and execution, simplify interfaces and use data to speed decisions and improve well performance. The award adds drilling services to SLB’s existing work for Vår Energi in digital well and field development planning and in subsea production systems through its OneSubsea joint venture.
“By connecting planning and execution and bringing together expertise, technology and data, we can work across traditional boundaries to deliver wells faster, more predictably and with greater value,” said Torger Rød, chief operating officer of Vår Energi.
“Our focus now is on differentiated execution, combining technology, technical expertise, operating discipline and digital capabilities to deliver consistently high performance at scale,” said ND Maduemezia, SLB’s president for Europe and Africa.
