DeepOcean Ghana, a Ghanaian company with 51% Ghanaian owned share structure, announced that it has been awarded a contract to provide the services of a Multi-Purpose Construction Vessel (MPV) to Tullow Ghana.
The scope of work for the contract is inspection, survey and subsea construction on the Tullow operated deepwater Jubilee and TEN Fields offshore Ghana. The contract includes subsea tree and jumper installations in approximately 1,100m–2,000m water depth.
Following the signing of the contract, DeepOcean Ghana is currently mobilising the Rem Forza, a state-of-the-art subsea construction vessel for a 6-months charter from March to August 2015, with the possibility of extension into 2016.
Mads Bårdsen, executive vice-president – International of DeepOcean, commented: “Tullow Ghana is a strategic client to us, and winning this contract is the first great achievement in the long-term strategy for our company in West Africa and specifically Ghana. DeepOcean has, for several years, looked for a suitable contract to support the establishment of our installation and ROV intervention services in the West African region. With the current contract and associated scope of work we have the right foundation to develop a strong presence in the region building upon our current extensive track record from the North Sea.”
