Aker Will Receive US$ 700 Million in Cash and Stock from Schlumberger as Part of the Agreement, and Expects to Record US$ 1 Billion in Profit at Closing!
The American engineering company Schlumberger and Norway’s Aker Solutions, announced today an agreement to form a joint venture, merging their subsea oil and gas construction businesses and bringing a third rival, Oslo-listed Subsea 7, as a partner, the companies said.
The agreement will bring together a portfolio of innovative technologies, such as subsea gas compression, fully electric subsea production systems, and other electrification capabilities that help clients achieve their decarbonization goals.
“As investment in the offshore market – particularly in deep waters – continues to rise, our clients will benefit from enhanced services that leverage digital and technological innovation to drive better performance of subsea assets, increasing energy efficiency and reducing CO2 emissions,” said Olivier Le Peuch, CEO of Schlumberger. “We look forward to collaborating with Aker Solutions and our subsea integration partner Subsea 7 on this new venture.”
