Dutch subsea firm DeepOcean has taken over Texas-based Delta SubSea, for an undisclosed fee.
Based out of Montgomery, Texas, Delta has a strong focus on the US Gulf of Mexico (GOM).
It also provides work for a range of US customers with operations in West Africa, Trinidad and Tobago and Guyana.
The company has a fleet of ten remote operated vehicles (ROVs) for inspection and repair services for offshore assets.
Those are launched from a fleet of six subsea construction vessels.
DeepOcean says the Gulf of Mexico is a key region, with the acquisition allowing it to expand its current operations in the Mexico GOM into the US section.
Scott Dingman, president of Delta SubSea said, “I view this as a great opportunity to continue to build on the successes of Delta SubSea and DeepOcean.
“Going forward we will be able to offer our clients a broader set of comprehensive engineering and subsea services in a significantly broader geographic context.
“Delta SubSea’s track record and experience will be complemented by DeepOcean’s experience in SURF, trenching and power cable installation, larger scale projects, project management and engineering capabilities.
“It is a very exciting time at Delta for all of us and we are looking forward to the expanded services that this acquisition allows Delta SubSea to offer to our clients”.
The move comes after DeepOcean took over French company Searov Offshore to boost its West African operations in July.
