The field is being developed as a subsea tieback to an existing host facility.

DeepOcean’s scope of work includes the installation of a flexible production riser and flowline, and an umbilical connecting the host facility to the subsea xmas tree. The scope also covers the protection of the flowline and umbilical, as well as the commissioning of the newly installed infrastructure.

“We’re delighted to announce the award of this subsea tie-back project. This award acknowledges our significant track record in subsea construction and, at a time where there is a huge focus on homegrown energy solutions, we’re proud to support our client with our specialist engineering, operational excellence and delivery certainty to realise this key project for the life extension of the existing infrastructure,” says Robin Mawhinney, managing director, DeepOcean UK.

DeepOcean’s Aberdeen office will lead the engineering and project management for the subsea construction and tie-in work scope.

Offshore operations will be executed in two phases: subsea construction and tie-in activities initially, followed by commissioning performed by a second offshore construction vessel from DeepOcean’s chartered fleet.
