India’s Oil & Natural Gas (ONGC) has awarded Fugro a contract for the provision of remotely operated vehicle (ROV) services on board the drillship Sagar Vijay, off the east coast of India.
Under the contract, Fugro will provide support for deepwater drilling operations in depths up to 900m.
A range of tasks will be performed by Fugro’s FCV ROV, including seabed surveys, monitoring of subsea drilling operations, guideline cutting and reinstallation, remote intervention and AX/VX ring gasket installation. Services also include setting up regular fluid injection, drilling re-entry, bullseye checks and routine video monitoring, inspection and cleaning on and around the BOP.
Fugro will also provide drill support tooling during the 18-month project, which is expected to commence in May 2016.
