DeepOcean As Awarded A Contract By Af Group On Statoil’s B-11 Cessation Project

The platform, which is part of a gas pipeline system that transports gas to Europe, is located on the German continental shelf of the North Sea. The work covers planning, engineering and execution of subsea removal work on the jacket substructure as well as preparatory inspections and seabed intervention work offshore. In this context DeepOcean will use its own vessels as well as ROV’s and various cutting equipment.

The estimated contract value is in excess of NOK 75 million. The work will start immediately and will be completed within end of 2016.

“This is the 3rd significant award of a decommissioning contract to DeepOcean the last 12 months following the award of the Statfjord SFC loading buoy EPRD contract by Statoil and the H-7 contract with AF Group. I’m pleased to learn that our customers appreciate the skills and capabilities of DeepOcean in the decommissioning segment. Also, I’m looking forward to yet again co-operate with the AF Group on a challenging project where the joint capabilities of the two companies are brought together”, says Mads Bårdsen, President in DeepOcean in a comment.
