The New Joint Venture Formed by Oil and Gas Giants Will Involve All Three Companies, Each Continuing to Operate Independently

The strategic partnership between oil and gas giants Aker Solutions, SLB (formerly Schlumberger), and Subsea7 has reached a significant milestone. The three companies announced that they have received regulatory approvals necessary to proceed with the establishment of a joint venture focused on the subsea segment.

Antitrust authorities in Brazil and six other countries have given the green light, marking an important step towards realizing this innovative collaboration among oil companies. According to a joint statement, the full closure of the operation is planned for the fourth quarter of this year, as soon as the remaining conditions are met, according to Petronotícias.

The announcement of the oil joint venture formation occurred in August of last year. Until the closure of the operation, the involved parties will continue to operate their businesses independently. The ownership structure of the new collaboration has been defined as Schlumberger (70%), Aker Solutions (20%), and Subsea7 (10%). The union of these industry-leading companies aims to optimize their distinct competencies and provide comprehensive solutions to clients around the world.

This underscores the long-term commitment to excellence in subsea integration and delivering exceptional services to clients.

The collaboration among Aker Solutions, SLB, and Subsea7 promises to shape the subsea landscape, offering innovation, efficiency, and comprehensive solutions. The companies’ commitment to combining their world-class competencies reflects the desire to better serve clients and the sector as a whole. With regulatory approvals in place, the closure of the operation in the fourth quarter of 2023 will mark a significant milestone in this strategic collaboration, pointing towards a future of progress and success in the subsea segment.
