DeepOcean Ghana Ltd. has been awarded a contract to provide the services of a Multi Purpose Construction Vessel (MPV) to Tullow Ghana Ltd., the company said in a Feb. 19 release.
The scope of work for the contract is inspection, survey and subsea construction on the Tullow operated deepwater Jubilee and TEN Fields offshore Ghana. The contract includes subsea tree and jumper installations in about 1,100 m (3,609 ft) to 2,000 m (6,562 ft) water depth.
Following the signing of the contract, DeepOcean is currently mobilizing the Rem Forza, a state of the art subsea construction vessel, for a six-month charter from March to August, with the possibility of extension into 2016.
DeepOcean has for several years looked for a suitable contract to support the establishment of its installation and ROV intervention services in the West African region, said Mads Bårdsen, executive vice president-international of DeepOcean, in a statement.
"With the current contract and associated scope of work we have the right foundation to develop a strong presence in the region building upon our current extensive track record from the North Sea,” Bårdsen said.
