Oceaneering wins survey contract offshore Guyana
HOUSTON – Oceaneering International has been awarded a
contract from Esso Exploration and Production Guyana Limited to provide two
surveys offshore Guyana.
The contract award covers a towed and autonomous underwater
vehicle (AUV) geophysical survey and a shallow geotechnical survey off the
coast of Guyana.
Oceaneering will use the DP-2 Cape Davis, equipped with the
3,000 m-rated OS-VI AUV, towed geophysical sensors and geotechnical sampling
and testing equipment.
The surveys are scheduled to begin in Q3 2021. In addition
to the geophysical and geotechnical survey, Oceaneering will also be working
with RPS Group to provide Protected Species Observers (PSO) and perform an
Environmental Baseline Survey (EBS) of the area.
Oceaneering has been providing related support since 2017
including ROV and subsea tooling services. As part of these services,
Oceaneering is committed to growing our local Guyanese workforce as well as
ensuring that all of our subcontractors are progressing their commitment to
nationalization. A cornerstone of our commitment is a sustainable career
development and investment program that will allow Oceaneering to offer best in
class services to support the growing industry in Guyana for years to come.
Eric Smith, Director, Oceaneering Survey Services, said: “We
are excited to continue to provide support for operations offshore Guyana and
to have the opportunity to expand that into geophysical and geotechnical survey
services.”
