Subsea inspection, repair and maintenance and light construction firm Harkand has won Nexen Petroleum UK’s 2014 ROVSV inspection services work along with a longer term frame agreement.
The inspection scope covers the Buzzard, Scott, Telford, Ettrick, and Rochelle assets in the central North Sea and includes infield pipelines and structures, export lines as well as some platform inspection.
It will see the deployment of the Surf Ranger, which joined the Harkand fleet in May. The multi-purpose ROV, survey and air diving vessel will be equipped with high definition cameras, one work-class and two observation-class ROVs.
Harkand was launched in February 2013, through the merger of Iremis, Integrated Subsea Services (ISS) and Andrews Survey, following investment by Oaktree Capital Management.
It employs about 1000 people at bases in Aberdeen, London, Houston, Singapore, and Perth, Australia, and aims to grow turnover to US$1 billion in the next four years.
The 85.4m-long Surf Ranger is a DP2 multi-purpose ROV, survey and air diving vessel featuring a helideck, 60t TTS Energy AS active heave compensated knuckle boom crane and can accommodate 69 personnel on board. It is permanently equipped with a Triton XLS work class ROV.
