Ocean Installer Awarded Petronas Contract in Mauritania
Tuesday 10 April 2018
Ocean Installer has been awarded a contract by Petronas, the Malaysian oil and gas company, to assist in decommissioning the Chinguetti field off the coast of Mauritania in West Africa.
The contract follows an award from FPSO operator BW Offshore on the same field in early February.
The project will be executed on a fast track utilizing the CSV Normand Vision and its inhouse flexible lay equipment. Offshore operations will commence as soon as April of 2018, directly after Ocean Installer completes its part of the disconnection of the FPSO Berge Helene for BW Offshore.
The scope of the project includes decommissioning of risers and umbilicals on the Chinguetti field.
The Chinguetti field is located at water depths of approximately 800 meters, about 80 km west of Mauritania.
