Golar LNG's new joint venture with Schlumberger is to work with exploration firm Ophir Energy in Africa.
The OneLNG combination, announced in July, has signed a binding agreement to form a joint operating company (JOC) to develop the Fortuna project off Equatorial Guinea.
Golar will use its FLNG technology for the work.
OneLNG and Ophir will have 66.2% and 33.8% ownership respectively.
The new company will facilitate the financing, construction, development and operation of the $2bn project and will own Ophir's share of the Block R licence and Golar's 125,000-cbm LNG carrier Gandria (built 1977), which is being converted into an FLNG vessel.
