DeepOcean has secured a contract from Tullow Oil to provide a multi-purpose subsea construction vessel on Jubilee and TEN fields, offshore Ghana.
The deal includes subsea tree and jumper installations in about 1,100m to 2,000m water depth.
DeepOcean Ghana is mobilising the Rem Forza subsea construction vessel for a six-months charter from March to August 2015. It may be extended to 2016.
DeepOcean executive vice-president of international Mads Bårdsen said: "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."
