Offshore & subsea - 16 January 2019

The company’s partner, Cepemais, has been awarded a contract to provide high-resolution hydrographic mapping services to Petrobras.

The 2009-built vessel is to be renamed Seven Pegasus and will primarily support Subsea 7’s operations in the North Sea and Asia Pacific.

The company has announced its partnership with subsidiaries of Royal Dutch Shell plc and Spirit Energy Limited following the award of PL 969 in the recent APA licensing round.

The contracts are for engineering activities related to the upstream development’s floating production unit, the export trunkline and the subsea umbilical risers and flowlines.

Equinor has been awarded 29 new licences by Norway’s Ministry of Petroleum and Energy as part of the Award in Predefined Areas (APA) for 2018 – 13 licences as operator and 16 as partner.

The contracts were split across Vryhof's three businesses: Deep Sea Mooring, Vryhof Anchors, and Moorlink.

This contract follows the successful completion of a rigorous testing program, in which TOTAL qualified Airborne Oil & Gas’ TCP Water Injection Jumper for permanent subsea applications.
