Subsea firm DOF Subsea Norway has won a debris removal contract worth £6.4million with ConocoPhillips.
As part of an existing frame agreement for diverless marine and subsea services, the Norwegian firm will use its construction support vessel Skandi Skolten on the Albuskjell 2/4 F, Ekofisk 2/4 D and Edda 2/7C platforms in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea.
The project will start in the middle of July and last about 66 days, DOF Subsea said.
The agreement includes an option for performing similar works at the COD 7/11 A and Albuskjell 1/6 A platform sites in 2013.
Garry Millard, business acquisition director, DOF Subsea Atlantic, said: “We’re delighted to have been awarded this Contract by ConocoPhillips. It is a significant win for DOF Subsea Norway.
“We are particularly pleased at securing work for the Skandi Skolten, which is proving to be a major asset in supporting DOF Subsea’s growth in the subsea market.”
DOF Subsea provides project management, engineering, subsea construction, IRM, survey and ROV services.
The company employs more than 1,200 people and owns offshore construction, diving and ROV support vessels, ROVs, one AUV and diving spreads.
