Bibby Offshore awarded North Sea contract with Apache
Bibby Offshore, a leading subsea services provider to the oil and gas industry secured a substantial contract from Apache North Sea Ltd to provide subsea construction, ROV and diving services at the largest oil field in the North Sea, the Company said in a press release.
The contract, due to begin this month, will utilise Bibby Offshore’s multi role diving support vessel the Bibby Topaz, equipped with an inspection class ROV.
The project, which involves well tie-ins and spool change-out at the Aviat and Bacchus locations, along with the associated pre-commissioning works, will be conducted to tie back the subsea wells to the Forties Oil Field, 110 miles east of Aberdeen.
Fraser Moonie, Chief Operating Officer at Bibby Offshore, said: “We are delighted to have secured another North Sea contract and to be working with the Apache North Sea team again, further strengthening our relationship. This contract win, in a competitive market, further demonstrates the confidence our clients have in Bibby Offshore’s ability to successfully deliver subsea projects on time and within budget.”
Bibby Line Group has worked offshore since the early eighties. In 2003, the group consolidated all their offshore activities into Bibby Offshore Limited, based in Aberdeen. Since then the Company has provided safe, innovative and cost effective solutions for the oil & gas industry. The Group provides services focusing on two key areas: Subsea Construction/IRM and Offshore Operational and Maintenance Support.
