Ceona, a SURF contractor with heavy subsea construction capabilities, has been awarded a contract for work in the Oyo oilfield offshore Nigeria from CAMAC Energy Inc. The project consists of the installation and recovery of umbilical and flexible pipe as well as light subsea construction in up to 500 meters water depth.
Project management will be performed by Ceona, while local offshore support and engineering work will be delivered in partnership with the company’s local partner, Marine Platforms Ltd (MPL). Offshore work is expected to commence in July using the Normand Pacific. The vessel has been under charter to Ceona from Solstad Offshore since April 2014. The charter is for one year, with an option for an extension.
Ceona mobilized the vessel and two work-class ROVOP ROVs in Galveston for the Oyo job. The vessel’s first contract as part of the Ceona fleet was working on the Clipper Contingency Umbilical Installation Project for Bennu Oil and Gas in the Gulf of Mexico.
Mark Preece, executive VP Commercial and Business Development at Ceona commented: “We are delighted to have secured this installation project from CAMAC Energy. Working in partnership with MPL, Ceona continues to build its reputation for excellent project management and offshore performance. West Africa is a key market for Ceona and we are well positioned to compete for the many upcoming SURF projects in the region”.
