Subsea services provider Bibby Offshore has won a six-month contract from TAQA for subsea construction work in the Eider Field northeast of Shetland, according to a news release.

The project involves connecting the existing Otter production pipeline to the existing Eider oil export pipeline, and connection of the existing Tern-Eider water injection pipeline to the existing Otter water injection pipeline using subsea bypass spools, Bibby said in the release.

In addition, the company will provide spool piece metrology, barrier testing, removal of existing production and water injection spools and pre-commissioning support. The team will also manage procurement, fabrication and installation of new bypass spools.

Aiming to finish the job by this summer, the company plans to use its Olympic Ares subsea support and construction vessel and its Bibby Polaris diving support vessel.
