Ocean Installer has been awarded a contract for SURF support work in Brazil for Saipem.

The contract, which will see the Normand Clipper in Brazil for 8 months, is valued at approximately US$ 50 million, with options to extend.

Ocean Installer will support Saipem with their installation of multiple Steel Catenary Lazy Wave Risers, Free Standing Hybrid Risers and Export Pipelines for the Iracema and Pre-Salt projects in the Santos Basin Pre-Salt Area for Petrobras. The scope of work includes a wide range of services including survey, TDP monitoring, metrology, installation aid deployment/recovery and pre-commissioning.

Ocean Installer will make use of the long-term chartered construction support vessel (CSV) Normand Clipper, which is well suited for both shallow and deepwater operations. The vessel has a DP class 2 system, 250 t crane capacity and 1700 m2 deck.

“We are pleased that Saipem selected Ocean Installer to assist on the Iracema and Pre-Salt projects for Petrobras, and we are looking forward to joining efforts with them on this work to execute the project in a safe, high quality and efficient manner,” commented Mike Newbury, President of Ocean Installer in the US.

The Normand Clipper will be mobilising in October in the Gulf of Mexico before transiting to Brazil to start the work.
