Argeo Searcher Set to Sail to Indian Ocean after Shell’s Nigeria Task

vessel in the second half of 2024.According to the company, Argeo Searcher completed the Shell job in Nigeria in record time and with high performance.The Shell- SNEPCo contract covered deepwater inspection services in the Bonga field and its subsea assets, including pipelines, infrastructure, and flowline systems, as well as geophysical surveys of nearby areas.The vessel exited Nigeria on January 20, and will move on to mobilize in the Indian Ocean to start the NCPOR project. Argeo said it expects the NCPOR project to be completed in late second quarter of 2024.“We have several strong tender leads

, long-term investment and sets a new standard for offshore pipelay. It has been purposely designed to install economical flowline technologies that address the growing market trend towards longer tie-back developments. This includes complex pipe-in-pipe, piggyback, and electrically heat traced flowline systems, risers, umbilicals and structures in water depths up to 3,000 meters.Seven Vega is now operational and is loading pipe for its first project, Subsea 7 said. AIS data show that the vessel is currently in moored in near Alesund, Norway.Seven Vega (Photo: Subsea 7

Norway's Rising Subsea Stars

and equipment with less seabed sprawl is touted as a key cost-cutting effect deriving from the combination of Forsys’s 50-50 parent entities. Using “next-generation” subsea architecture, Forsys Subsea’s business model is to cut the total imprint of subsea umbilical, riser and flowline systems (SURF) and subsea production systems (SPS). The same is now being said of TechnipFMC, an alliance said to address the disparity between $29 oil and well costs that had overrun the $100 million mark. At Forsys’s creation, Subsea production systems, risers and flowlines and installation

engage with clients from the initial concept and design phase to promote total system engineering, providing the best solutions for construction, operations and maintenance. The collaboration will develop and manage all interfaces between subsea production systems and subsea umbilical, riser and flowline systems (SURF) as well as provide services over the lifetime of a field.

to significantly reduce the cost of subsea field development and provide the technology to maximize well performance over the life of the field. By combining the industry-leading technologies of the parent companies, Forsys Subsea will reduce the interfaces of the subsea umbilical, riser and flowline systems (SURF) and subsea production and processing systems (SPS). It will also simplify the seabed layout, reducing complexity, accelerating time to first oil, and maximizing sustainable peak production. This unique combination will drive a new, step-change approach to how equipment designs and installation

The Ichthys project awarded to McDermott in 2012 includes EPCI and pre-commissioning of product flowline systems, a Mono Ethylene Glycol injection system, start-up condensate transfer and fuel gas transfer flowline systems, control systems and other associated SURF elements in waters up to 900 feet. McDermott will also install mooring systems for the Floating Production, Storage and Offtake vessel and

, approximately 230 km North West of North Cape. The water depth at the fields is 360 – 405 m. The contract is a continuation of the concept design work completed in June 2014. It includes integrated engineering services necessary for the conceptual design and pre-FEED design of the infield flowline systems and riser system, and shall be completed within June 2015. In the extended concept phase KONGSBERG will perform design optimisations, value engineering on alternative technical solutions and in general mature the design further taking in approved solutions from design optimisations and value
