Luxembourg - 17 December 2021 - Subsea 7 S.A. (Oslo Børs: SUBC, ADR: SUBCY)
today announced the award of a large1 contract to Subsea Integration Alliance2
by Woodside, as Operator for and on behalf of the Scarborough Joint Venture3,

result of a strong and collaborative early engagement process with Woodside,
working with a high level of transparency and cooperation during the pre-tender
and FEED phases. It demonstrates the potential value of Subsea Integration
Alliance and its optimised and integrated offering capacity. We look forward to
working with Woodside to deliver the project successfully and safely while
maximising the client's production objectives."
