Subsea 7 awarded FEED contract in Norway

Luxembourg - 15 September 2021 - Subsea 7 S.A. (Oslo Børs: SUBC, ADR: SUBCY)

today announced the award of a contract by Aker BP for the front-end engineering

and design (FEED) study for the NOA Fulla development project, offshore Norway.

NOA Fulla is located in the southern part of the NOAKA area in the Norwegian

substantial(1) project award.

Norway. Offshore installation activities would be scheduled for 2025, 2026 and

our long-standing collaboration with Aker BP, through the Aker BP Subsea

Alliance(2). The partnership enables Subsea 7 to engage early in the field

development process, optimising design solutions and contributing to the final

investment decision. We are delighted to continue our alliance with Aker BP for

the NOA Fulla development, which is of significant importance for all partners

in the Subsea Alliance. Subsea 7 looks forward to working closely with Aker BP

to successfully deliver our scope with safety and quality at the forefront
