Aker BP has signed a contract with OneSubsea for the development of the Lyra oil field in the northern North Sea. This oil field is located approximately 44 kilometers from the Gjøa platform and will be connected to the NOVA field infrastructure. The goal of this project is to achieve oil production by 2028, three years after the discovery of the field.
Rapid Development and Collaboration Strategy
Aker BP and OneSubsea have collaborated from the early stages of the project to shape the development strategy for this field. Marta Mogstad, Senior Vice President of Aker BP, stated: "Our collaboration with OneSubsea, along with standardized underwater technologies, plays a crucial role in the development of the Lyra field." According to her, this project demonstrates how rapid execution can optimize marginal resources.

This contract was announced just a few days after Subsea7 secured an engineering, procurement, construction, and installation (EPCI) contract for pipelines and related infrastructure for gas extraction and production in this field. This indicates significant movements in the development of new oil and gas fields in the region.
Future Outlook for the Lyra Field
The Lyra project, as a rapid development aimed at oil production in 2028, clearly showcases the technical and economic potential of oil resources. Mads Helmeland, CEO of OneSubsea, stated: "Lyra represents the feasibility of rapid field development. Collaborating from the early stages allows us to shape development strategies based on customer priorities and create new opportunities for marine resources."
This project is progressing as global demand for oil and gas continues to rise, with various countries seeking to develop new resources to meet their energy needs. Aker BP is taking an important step towards increasing production and efficiency from oil resources with this initiative.
