IOS InterMoor AS secures Barents sea contract

IOS InterMoor AS has secured a contract from Eni Norge to provide two complete mooring spreads for the developmental drilling in the Goliat oilfield in the Barents Sea offshore Norway. Under the terms of the three-year contract, InterMoor will provide the rig moorings with associated equipment and services.

The contract is for the provision of general mooring equipment services, including equipment rental, service and repair, and personnel for mooring operations. To meet these contract requirements, InterMoor will be making a considerable investment in new equipment, personnel and facilities in Hammerfest, Norway, during spring this year.

InterMoor’s work scope will be to provide two complete moorings spreads for pre-laying in the contract period. This method has provided enhanced safety and integrity as well as cost savings, particularly in rig moves as it eliminates the dead time a rig spends not drilling. Ultimately, the reservoir drainage strategy will include water and gas injection employing a total of eight well templates with 22 wells. Recoverable reserves for the Goliat oilfield are estimated at 174 million bbls, and production is expected to plateau at 100 000 bpd.
