Normand Vision for SURF Job in Gulf of Mexico
Ocean Installer, UK, has been awarded a contract for an umbilical installation project with Oceaneering for LLOG on the Delta House project. This marks the highly advanced construction support vessel (CSV) Normand Vision’s first SURF contract in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM). The scope of work includes umbilical transpooling, pre-lay survey, installation of umbilical with dynamic and static sections and umbilical pull-in to the semisubmersible.
The location of the project is in the Mississippi Canyon Area. Normand Vision will use the 1800te carousel on the back deck of the vessel to install the umbilical for the Son of Bluto 2 discovery in approximately 2,000m water depth.
The offshore installation will commence approximately 15 January 2015. The project management and engineering is located in Ocean Installer’s Houston Office.
This is Normand Vision’s first SURF project in the GoM after taking on several comprehensive projects on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, including for Statoil and Norske Shell where she has installed a number of flexible flowlines and umbilicals.
