BP plc BP, the British oil and gas major, has awarded a contract to the OneSubsea joint venture to provide a subsea boosting system for the greenfield development in the Tiber project. The Tiber project is a deepwater development located offshore the United States. The OneSubsea joint venture was formed by SLB, Aker Solutions, and Subsea7.

OneSubsea Joint Venture Secures Two Contracts

The engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract for the Tiber greenfield development was awarded shortly after the joint venture secured a similar subsea boosting contract for BP’s Kaskida project in the Gulf of Mexico. The two projects focus on the prolific Paleogene reserves in the deep waters of the Gulf of America. The Paleogene reservoirs are known to be geologically complex and are challenging to develop. As such, both projects will utilize the same standardized high-pressure pump system developed by the same supplier to target these reserves.

SLB OneSubsea mentioned that it looks forward to supporting BP in realizing higher value from its projects targeting the Paleogene reservoirs. It also stated that more and more operators are choosing subsea boosting systems for offshore operations. Subsea boosting solutions use advanced subsea pumps that can deliver higher recovery rates and increase efficiency in complex, deepwater environments. These systems also optimize topside space on host platforms and reduce overall power usage by placing equipment closer to the reservoir, leading to efficiency gains.

BP Greenlights Tiber-Guadalupe Hub

BP announced a final investment decision on the Tiber-Guadalupe project in September 2025, which will be the company’s seventh oil and gas production hub in the Gulf of America. The production hub will use a new floating production platform with a production capacity of 80,000 barrels of crude oil per day. The project is expected to start production in 2030.
