Norwegian contractors secures four-year frame agreement to work on offshore wind farms
Equinor has awarded marine services provider DeepOcean a frame agreement for marine services covering subsea intervention and repair contingency in offshore wind.
The agreement, which also includes oil and gas installations, is valid for four years, with options to extend it for up to four more years.
The deal covers the Norwegian continental shelf and internationally for planned Equinor work and for contingency work for the PRSI pool members. The PRSI pool consists of 23 energy companies that cover their offshore pipeline and power cable repair contingency via the pool.
DeepOcean will manage the contract delivery out of its office in Haugesund, Norway, supported by the company’s international operations wherever required.
“Such a long-term agreement allows us to constantly evolve working methods, collaboration models and technologies, with the objective of making offshore operations and subsea cable repair work as cost-effective as possible,” said managing director of DeepOcean’s European operation Olaf A Hansen.
For work on offshore renewable energy fields, the agreement covers planned, or unplanned marine services related to subsea high voltage cables.
“DeepOcean has a 400 people-strong engineering team that are specialists on solving subsea challenges across industries,” added offshore renewables director at DeepOcean Normann Vikse.
“We are industry agnostic and share learnings and experiences from subsea operations across different types of operations and industries in order to develop the best possible solutions for our clients.” |
