Norway’s DeepOcean has been awarded a long-term contract by Equinor, formerly Statoil, for subsea life of field services.

The award scope includes onshore project management, engineering and offshore operations utilising vessels from the DeepOcean fleet. Offshore services include life of field services, installation and replacement of subsea modules and X-mas trees as well as scale squeeze operations and installation of structures.

The contract is for five years and on a call-off basis starting from January 2019.

The introduction of new technologies and digitalisation is creating radical improvements within this business and our innovative attitude coupled with long experience and field knowledge will allow DeepOcean to offer exciting solutions to the subsea operations Equinor will require in the coming years.”
