We look forward to supporting the safe, efficient and timely execution of this project. Subsea7 continues to create sustainable value by being the industry’s partner and employer of choice for the delivery of offshore solutions.

Economic Impact and Prospects

The contract, worth between $50 and $150 million, underlines the strategic importance of the Belinda field development for the North Sea region. By joining forces with Serica Energy, Subsea7 strengthens its position as a provider of subsea engineering and construction solutions. The North Sea remains a crucial region for the oil and gas industry, with projects like Belinda contributing to energy security and economic growth. Subsea7’s contract win for the Belinda project in the North Sea represents a major development for the offshore industry, and a testament to the company’s expertise and commitment to efficient and sustainable energy solutions. With operations scheduled for 2025, this project is well positioned to contribute to the region’s energy economy.
