SLB OneSubsea wins Aker BP subsea production systems contract for Lyra

SLB announced on November 5, 2026 that its OneSubsea joint venture has received an Aker BP contract for subsea production systems, umbilicals and associated services for Lyra. The field, formerly called Kjøttkake, is on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. This is a disclosed system contract, rather than a cooperation proposal.

Lyra is planned as a subsea tieback to existing infrastructure using proven, standardized subsea technology. The partners worked together from the early development stage under Aker BP’s alliance model. Reduced complexity and improved execution efficiency are stated objectives of the approach.

Aker BP’s management described a fast-track route of approximately three years from discovery to first oil. That is a development expectation, not confirmation that production has begun. The release does not state the contract value, number of subsea wellheads or a detailed valve and actuator schedule.

The combined production-system, umbilical and service scope clarifies the broad supply interface. It does not establish individual flow-control specifications, subcontract awards or delivery dates. Further owner and supplier disclosures will be needed to verify engineering and equipment progress.
