The DOF Group has been awarded a contract for a SURF project in the Atlantic region from an undisclosed energy company.
DOF deems the contract as "very large" (valued between US$100 million and US$200 million), excluding any variation works. Under the contract, the company will deliver its full suite of project management, engineering, logistical and execution services to install flexible flowlines, risers, cables and associated subsea structures.
DOF will also install a floating production unit on behalf of the client.
The project will be executed across DOF's offices in Aberdeen and Bergen, and preparations are already well underway.
Offshore execution is planned for the second half of 2025. DOF expects to involve six vessels and more than 450 vessel days.
The area of execution is Africa.
DOF added that an extension to the pipe laying vessel Skandi Buzios' long-term contract has been signed with Petrobras. The existing contract has been extended from April 2025 to September 2026.
Skandi Buzios is owned and operated by the DOF-TechnipFMC joint venture.
