Marine construction player Ocean Installer, formerly Havfram Subsea, has joined forces with oilfield services giant Baker Hughes to deliver a new and efficient integrated subsea engineering solution from project appraisal through to operations.
The partnership will aim to minimise the total expenditure and delivery time of offshore developments, including energy transition projects, by pre-provisioning the deployment of key components and providing flexibility on vessel and equipment delivery schedules.
The global agreement builds on an already successful North Sea collaboration that was first concepted on the Balder Future integrated subsea production system, umbilicals, risers and flowlines project for Vår Energi in Norway in 2019.
Kevin Murphy, Ocean Installer CEO said: “We have enjoyed a highly successful relationship with Baker Hughes for many years and are delighted to formally continue and enhance that partnership for our global customer-base. We have built a strong culture of trust with Baker Hughes and are aligned in delivering projects that assist the local communities we operate in and reduce the carbon footprint of our customers’ developments.”
“Having successfully worked together on several projects in the North Sea, Baker Hughes looks forward to continuing our collaboration with Ocean Installer to deliver integrated solutions for targeted projects,” added Dave Dillon, senior vice president of subsea and surface pressure systems at Baker Hughes.
