A Subsea 7 and Schlumberger released in the world business channels that are already in frank negotiations to shape a 50/50 joint venture, in the same parameters of the Subsea Integration Alliance, conceived in 2015. This initiative aims to combine the surface services portfolio, subsea production and processing of OneSubsea, with the modality of umbilicals, risers and flowlines of Subsea 7.

With this merger, the next step will be to strengthen the engineering branch, drawings and all the execution of these projects combined with autonomous technological systems, remote monitoring of production and operations that need inspection, as well as maintenance and repairs.
