Inpex awarded Fugro a five-year subsea inspection, repair and maintenance (IRM) services contract for the Ichthys project in the Timor Sea.
Ichthys is about 220km from the coast of Western Australia.
The contract, awarded by Inpex Operations Australia, encompasses field operations support, and IRM services, and will run for five years with options to extend.
Fugro will provide all services through its office in Perth. The work will be performed under Fugro's QHSE system, which is in accordance with industry leading QHSE and operational standards.

This IRM contract fits well within our asset integrity business line, which centers around inspection and monitoring services, supporting optimal utilization and longevity of our clients’ infrastructure,” says Mark Heine, divisional director marine and member of the board of management.
