Equinor Awards Norwegian Diving Contractor SubseaPartner a Subsea Frame Agreement

Norwegian Diving Contractor, SubseaPartner, has secured a long-term frame agreement with Equinor for Diving lntervention Services.

The frame agreement centers on contingency preparedness for Equinor as the main user along with twenty-three other operating companies in the Pipeline Repair System and Subsea lntervention (PRSI) Pool.

Work under the frame agreement also includes planned activities within regular field operations, construction projects, and modifications. The duration of the agreement is from the fourth quarter of 2023 to the fourth quarter of 2027, with extension options until 2031.

SubseaPartner will provide Surface Supplied Diving operations based on Equinor’s demand, covering offshore O&G installations, offshore windfarms, and inshore sites on the NCS, UKCS, and internationally.

Deliveries under the framework agreement are call-off based, leveraging SubseaPartner’s leading expertise within the Light Diving Craft (LDC) method and track record from offshore operations on the NCS and UKCS.

“In terms of lite in field extension and energy security, offshore Diving lntervention has become increasingly relevant to operators’ needs for safe, cost-effective, and flexible services in the shallow deep segment (0-50 MSW). It proves the versatility of Diving lntervention and reinforces our position in the future of offshore Oil & Gas and Floating Offshore Wind,” said Anders Remøy Bertelsen, Managing Director of SubseaPartner.”
