Subsea 7 has won a contract extension from BP for subsea construction, inspection, repair and maintenance (IRM) services in the North Sea.
Under the agreement, Subsea 7 will provide BP with an additional two years of IRM delivery, extending the contract to 2019. Subsea 7 has been providing BP with IRM services since 1998.
The work covers the maintenance of the Schiehallion, Loyal, Foinaven and East Foinaven fields, which are produced via floating production vessels, west of Shetland. Project management and engineering work will be managed from Subsea 7’s Aberdeen office.
Phil Simons, Vice President UK and Canada, said: “In the current commercial environment our track record in IRM and in-house capability for remote tooling design, build and operation, ensure we continue to offer low-cost solutions and respond to our client’s challenges and needs. We look forward to working with BP on maximizing the production objectives for their operated fields.”
