SLB Pushes Into AI Data Center Power, Wins Major Offshore Contract
SLB announced an alliance with Liberty Energy to deliver integrated power solutions for AI data centers, and its OneSubsea joint venture won a major subsea EPC contract from Eni for Phase 3 of the Baleine project. The moves highlight SLB's dual focus on energy-hungry data centers and complex offshore developments.
In a dual move reflecting its expanding strategy, SLB (NYSE: SLB) earlier this month announced a strategic alliance with Liberty Energy to provide modular infrastructure and integrated behind-the-meter power solutions for AI-driven data centers. Simultaneously, its OneSubsea joint venture secured a major engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract from Eni for Phase 3 of the Baleine offshore project in Côte d'Ivoire.
Details of the Liberty Energy Alliance
The alliance aims to meet the surging energy demand from AI data centers, which consume vast amounts of electricity. SLB and Liberty Energy will deliver on-site power generation and efficient energy management, reducing strain on public grids.
OneSubsea's Baleine Contract
The EPC contract for Phase 3 of the Baleine field continues the success of one of West Africa's largest discoveries. OneSubsea will design, supply, and install subsea equipment to boost production.
What This Means for Investors
These two deals demonstrate SLB's diversification between traditional energy (offshore oil and gas) and new energy (data centers). They could boost long-term revenue but carry project execution risks and exposure to energy price volatility.
