Global energy technology company SLB (NYSE: SLB) announced that its SLB OneSubsea joint venture was awarded a contract by Beacon Offshore Energy (BOE) Exploration and Production LLC to deliver a high‑pressure, high‑temperature (HPHT) multiphase boosting system for the Shenandoah field in the Gulf of America.

Why it matters

The award reflects continued investment in deepwater developments, where advanced subsea systems are being applied to improve recovery. SLB OneSubsea's HPHT multiphase boosting system is engineered to operate reliably above 15,000 psi, addressing operating conditions that exceed the limits of conventional subsea solutions.

The details

SLB OneSubsea's processing technology supports enhanced oil recovery, faster production, and increased field value for BOE. The engagement between SLB OneSubsea and BOE began in January 2025, enabling the design of a subsea boosting solution tailored to the Shenandoah field's operating conditions.

  • The contract was awarded on April 9, 2026.
  • SLB OneSubsea and BOE Exploration & Production LLC began their engagement in January 2025.
