Subsea firm Harkand has secured a multi-million pound contract with Apache to provide subsea inspection, repair and maintenance on the Beryl field.
Apache has a 61% interest in the field, located 350km north-east of Aberdeen.
The deal, which is scheduled to start this summer, will see the diving support vessel Harkand Atlantis deployed to carry out installation of replacement riser umbilical at Skene and replacement of a flexible flowline and electrical jumpers at Nevis, along with the associated project management and engineering.
David Kerr, managing director of Harkand ISS, Harkand’s European operation, said: “We are pleased to be able to announce this new award which recognises our ability to deliver quality and reliability to UK operators looking to extend the life of their North Sea assets.
“A key factor in Harkand securing the contract was the proven excellence of the Atlantis, which is one of the most modern and cost-efficient subsea operation support vessels currently active both in the North Sea and beyond. We look forward to delivering a successful project.”
Harkand, formed from the merger of Iremis, Integrated Subsea Services and Andrews Survey, said the work was scheduled to take 25 days to complete.
