Norwegian operator Statoil has awarded a contract to Ocean Installer which will see it perform subsea work.
The company said the option falls under an amendment to the previously awarded SMLP Marine Installation contract which was signed in December last year and covered riser replacement operations at the Troll C field.
Ocean Installer said the option now exercised comprises the replacement of a flexible jumper at the Vigdis field and the work scope includes project management, engineering and marine operations.
Chief executive Steinar Riise said: “We are happy to see that Statoil continues to make use of options inherent to existing contracts, further strengthening our cooperation.
“In the current market this type of work is important to maintain a steady activity level and it proves that an unwavering focus on delivering in existing projects pays off.”
Ocean Installer said it will utilise its state of the art construction support vessel (CSV), Normand Vision, for the operations.
Project preparations started last month and offshore work is expected to take place in June.
