Subsea7 wins Equinor Fram Sør project contract
The contract encompasses engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) services for subsea structures and flowlines, encompassing 53km of various lines and an umbilical system. The lines include water injection and gas lift.
Commencement of engineering and project management is set to begin immediately across Subsea7's offices in Norway and the UK.
Offshore installation activities for the Fram Sør project are scheduled to take place in 2026, 2027 and 2028.
Situated 10–30km north of the Troll C platform operated by Equinor and roughly 70km north-west of Bergen, the Fram Sør area will be integrated with the existing Fram and Troll C infrastructure.
Subsea 7 Norway vice-president Erik Femsteinevik said: 'This award continues our long-standing collaboration with Equinor. The FEED [front-end engineering and design] study enabled Subsea7 to engage early in the field development process, optimising design solutions and contributing to the final investment decision.
'We look forward to working closely with Equinor to deliver the Fram Sør development safely and efficiently.'
The contract, which comes after a FEED contract awarded on 9 January 2025, is contingent upon the authority's approval of the plan for development and operations.
Earlier in the year, Subsea7 also secured a contract for a FEED study from ConocoPhillips Skandinavia for the Previously Produced Fields development project offshore Norway.
In addition, Subsea7 won a contract from Petrobras for the development of the Búzios 11 field, situated 180km off the coast of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Oil Prices Caught Between a $70 Summer and Growing Surplus Fears
Oil traders are grappling with a tension — there's a growing chorus of warnings about the market weakening later this year and into 2026, but for now prices are holding strong near $70 a barrel. France's TotalEnergies SE last week warned the market is facing abundant supply as the OPEC+ group unwinds output curbs, even as slowing global growth weighs on demand. Norway's Equinor ASA said its new Johan Castberg field is operating at full pelt, with a Brazilian offshore asset starting soon, a reminder of additional barrels expected from outside the producer group.

Tesla Ordered to Buy Back Model S Plaid After Brake Failure Ruling
Tesla Ordered to Buy Back Model S Plaid After Brake Failure Ruling originally appeared on Autoblog. A Norwegian court has ordered Tesla to buy back a Model S Plaid after a catastrophic brake failure during a track day, marking one of the most damning legal defeats for the automaker in recent memory. The Oslo District Court ruled in favor of the owner, Vilhelm Dybwad, who reached out to The Drive about the incident, after the high-performance EV failed to complete even a single lap without overheating its brakes—despite being advertised as a track-ready court found Tesla's marketing claims to be misleading and ruled that the $150,000 vehicle was sold under false pretenses. Tesla must now refund the full purchase price, pay interest, and cover legal fees—adding up to nearly $150,000 in total compensation. What Happened on Track? Dybwad's Model S Plaid experienced total brake fade at Rudskogen Motorsenter, Norway's most demanding racetrack, on its very first hot lap. The failure was immediate and severe: the car's brake system overheated almost instantly, flashing warning messages and rendering the car unsafe for track owner filed suit under Norway's strong consumer protection laws. The court found that Tesla had marketed the Model S Plaid as 'track-capable' without equipping it with proper hardware to survive a performance environment. Tesla's defense—that a carbon-ceramic brake package was coming later—was not deemed sufficient, as it wasn't available at the time of purchase. Marketing Promises Versus Reality Tesla has long walked a fine line between performance bragging rights and practical durability. In this case, its own ads—including a Nürburgring campaign and various Plaid promo clips—were used as evidence of deceptive claims. This ruling comes at a time when Tesla is also facing significant pressure in the U.S. over how it markets its driver-assist this week, the company published a new safety report claiming its Autopilot system is significantly safer than manual driving, stating that cars using Autopilot went over six million miles between crashes in Q2. But critics argue that real-world user experience often paints a more inconsistent inconsistency has become a legal liability. In California, Tesla is now facing a potential 30-day sales ban over allegations of misleading advertising regarding its 'Full Self-Driving' and 'Autopilot' systems—terms regulators argue are dangerously inaccurate. More Trouble Ahead The buyback ruling could set a precedent in Europe and beyond, particularly for owners who have pushed the Model S or Model X beyond their daily comfort zones. Although Tesla has already launched track packages for newer Model S units—complete with upgraded brakes—this case highlights a wider problem for the company: the disparity between its marketing and real-world also comes amid growing global competition. In China, Tesla faces a serious threat from Dongfeng's new M-Hero M817, an off-road-capable hybrid SUV that racked up 10,000 pre-orders in just 24 hours. The M817's broad capability and local appeal make it a formidable rival in a market where Tesla's position has become less secure. What This Means for Owners and Enthusiasts For Model S Plaid owners, the takeaway is clear: despite its straight-line speed and headline-grabbing horsepower, the Plaid may not be as versatile as Tesla claims. Unless fitted with the appropriate hardware—and driven within its limits—the car may not meet the expectations its marketing has this case sparks more lawsuits is unclear. But it's certainly part of a broader reckoning Tesla faces—not just for its product claims, but for its relationship with regulators and consumers worldwide.
