DOF Subsea has marked the relocation of its Angolan office by signing two contracts with a major operator.

The Luanda-based team of 12 has just moved from the centre to new 200 sq. m. premises 20km away in Belas Business Park in the Talatona area.

As well as the move, DOF Subsea is celebrating the news that the company recently increased survey and positioning (S&P) services to a key operator in West Africa by signing two contracts for rig positioning services in two additional blocks.

The scope of work will range from pre-mobilisation and mobilisation work to vessel positioning and survey support and the provision of final well location positioning according to the client’s specified accuracy requirements.

DOF Subsea General Manager for Angola, Colin Ferguson, said: “In spite of the difficult global market, it is important that we position ourselves for future growth in markets such as West Africa.

“This important relocation plays a central role in enhancing our presence in Angola, positioning us alongside other key operators and placing us at the heart of a thriving and vibrant business community which benefits from good infrastructure, hotels and conference facilities.”

Executive Vice President for DOF Subsea’s Atlantic Region, Jan Kristian Haukeland, added: “We are very happy to have secured these additional contracts which will build on the good relationship that we have with this operator in Angola, and enhance DOF Subsea Angola’s position as a leading provider of S&P services.”
