Bibby Offshore has won a contract with Apache North Sea to provide subsea construction, ROV and diving services at the North Sea oil field.

The contract, due to begin this month, will utilise Bibby Offshore’s multi role diving support vessel the Bibby Topaz, equipped with an inspection class ROV, the company informed.

The project, which involves well tie-ins and spool change-out at the Aviat and Bacchus locations, along with the associated pre-commissioning works, will be conducted to tie back the subsea wells to the Forties oil field, 110 miles east of Aberdeen.

Fraser Moonie, chief operating officer at Bibby Offshore, said: “We are delighted to have secured another North Sea contract and to be working with the Apache North Sea team again, further strengthening our relationship. This contract win, in a competitive market, further demonstrates the confidence our clients have in Bibby Offshore’s ability to successfully deliver subsea projects on time and within budget.”
