21/02/2023
Oceaneering International has announced that its Offshore Projects Group (OPG) segment has won a contract from Ocyan to support a decommissioning project offshore Brazil. The scope of work includes subsea specialised tooling to perform the decommissioning of subsea infrastructure related to three floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessels located offshore Brazil.
Oceaneering will provide specialised personnel, remotely operated vehicle (ROV) decommissioning tooling and technical support to cut and remove the assets.
Slated to begin in the first quarter of 2023, the contract covers subsea tools to enable the decommissioning of flexible pipes and umbilicals in the Campos and Sergipe-Alagoas basins. It has a firm duration of one year, with options to extend, and demonstrates Oceaneering’s ability to service decommissioning work scopes in Brazil.
Ricardo Frazão, Commercial Director, Oceaneering, said: “This achievement highlights Oceaneering’s strong position in Brazil as a trusted services provider. Offshore decommissioning demand is expected to rise in the next 10 years in Brazil as assets are taken out of service. Oceaneering offers more than tooling and services; we have the flexibility to offer engineering solutions to support our clients and develop their projects from beginning to end.”
Oceaneering is a global technology company delivering engineered services and products and robotic solutions to the offshore energy, defence, aerospace, manufacturing and entertainment industries.
