Norwegian ocean services player DeepOcean has been awarded a new long-term inspection, maintenance, and repair frame agreement with operator Vår Energi.
The contract has a firm duration of five years, running until the end of October 2030, with options to extend for up to an additional four years.
The scope of the contract includes subsea work across all Vår Energi’s operated assets on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, covering IMR activities as well as project support for offshore modifications, installation, commissioning and drilling operations. DeepOcean will also provide associated project management and engineering services.
The company will use different technologies throughout the contract, including the use of uncrewed remote vessels and onshore remote operation centres.
DeepOcean and Vår Energi, the third-largest operator on the Norwegian Continental Shelf and the second-largest exporter of gas from Norway, have collaborated on subsea operations for more than a decade. The new agreement formalises the continuation of this long-standing cooperation.
