Dana Petroleum awarded Fugro to supply ROV drilling support services on board the Ocean Guardian MODU at the Dana-operated Western Isles developments in the northern North Sea.
Operating one of its fleet of FCV 600 ROVs, specifically designed for North Sea drill support activities, Fugro will carry out drilling and completions projects.
The scope of work covers standard drilling support, which begins this month, and intervention tooling support, with all ROV tooling designed and supplied by Fugro. This ensures 100% compatibility with the FCV 600 class of ROV and American Petroleum Institute (API) tooling standard 17D.
“This award from Dana Petroleum strengthens Fugro’s North Sea drill support business in the current challenging market,” said Mark Ward, drill support and ROV project manager at Fugro Subsea Services. “It also recognizes our objective to minimize operational costs without impacting on efficiency or safety standards.”
Fugro has been operational on board the Ocean Guardian since the summer of 2012.
