Schlumberger Limited (NYSE:SLB) and Equinor ASA (NYSE:EQNR) shares are trading higher today after Schlumberger won a contract from Equinor for the Subsea Production Systems (SPS) project in offshore Norway.
The contract is for the front-end engineering design (FEED) of a 12-well, all-electric SPS project in the Fram Sør field.
Under the agreement, SLB OneSubsea will be directly awarded future engineering, procurement, and construction contracts conditional upon a final investment decision.

We are grateful for the collaboration with Equinor and the other joint-industry-partners over the past six years that has made this milestone possible.”
