BP Exploration has contracted Subsea 7 S.A. for subsea construction, inspection, repair and maintenance services covering BP’s North Sea region portfolio of assets West of Shetland and Northern North Sea.
Under the terms of the five year agreement, which is said to be worth between USD 150-300 million, i-Tech Services, a division of Subsea7, will provide a Life of Field support vessel complete with work class and observation class ROVs, capable of performing inspection, survey, intervention, light subsea construction and emergency response services. The award is a renewal of an existing contract.
