Aquatic Engineering and Construction Ltd. was awarded a multi-million pound contract for work in West Africa. The contract is for Total’s $10-billion Moho Nord subsea project offshore the Republic of Congo. The contract was awarded by a UK-based subcontractor working for Total E&P Congo.
Aquatic’s portion of the 10-month campaign will mobilize in October 2015.
Aquatic will supply reel drive systems, together with a team of supervisors and technicians. They will provide the technical expertise and support to operate the equipment hired for the duration of the operation. Aquatic will be instrumental in the installation of 23 km of subsea flexible pipes and 50 km of umbilicals.
Martin Charles, Aquatic’s managing director, said, “This project is the most significant for Aquatic to date, and affords us the opportunity to forge a closer relationship with our customer in a new geographical location, while levering support from other Acteon Group operating companies. Our people and equipment will work in close partnership with our customer to deliver the project safely and on time, where output is expected to achieve 140,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day by 2017.”
