DeepOcean Ghana Wins Gig from Tullow
DeepOcean Ghana was awarded a contract by Tullow Oil for work on the Jubilee and TEN fields off the coast of Ghana. DeepOcean, under the contract, will provide Tullow with a light construction vessel (LCV).
The contract is for three years with options for two additional years.
DeepOcean Ghana has mobilized the DP2 ROV/construction vessel Dina Star with two DeepOcean Ghana owned 220HP Constructor ROV systems. The company commenced its offshore work under the contract in mid-March.
The scope of the includes inspection, maintenance and repairs, surveys and subsea construction on the fields.
DeepOcean Ghana, an indigenous Ghanaian company in which Deep Ocean holds a 49% stake, has been working with Tullow in Ghana since February when it mobilized the Rem Forza to undertake multipurpose construction activities on the Jubilee field. The Rem Forza has now been replaced by the Dina Star, allowing the Rem Forza to continue working with Tullow Ghana to provide accommodation and construction support on the TEN project from March 2016.
A representative of DeepOcean Ghana’s senior management stated: “We are very pleased that with this new contract we have the opportunity to increase the scope of work we are undertaking offshore Ghana for Tullow. Our commitment to local content which is in line with Tullow’s has been the key element of our work. We continue to demonstrate this through our use of local crew and in-country services, including Ghanaian ROV pilots and engineering support. Available competence in DeepOcean will be used to train and develop these local resources.”
