The first call‑off supports gas reservoir monitoring at the Troll field and includes options for additional survey scopes. The campaign will deploy Reach Subsea’s proprietary gWatch technology, which is widely used across major Norwegian gas fields and has proven to be a strong operational match for Reach Remote through successful delivery of similar projects for both Norwegian and international clients.
The second call‑off is an IMR contract covering detailed inspection of a large number of subsea assets across multiple offshore locations. The scope will be executed using Reach Subsea’s ROV deployed from Reach Remote 1, combined with the company’s purpose‑built tooling designed specifically for remote and uncrewed operations.
Including these two new awards, Equinor has now awarded a total of three contracts utilizing RR1. The contracts will be executed consecutively and are expected to occupy most of the vessel spread’s capacity during the second and third quarters of 2026.
Over recent months, Reach Subsea has executed a series of offshore operations using Reach Remote 1, including work within the offshore safety zone and the deployment of multiple tools from an unmanned vessel. The contracts announced today follow a period of increasing operational activity with RR1.
Planning and preparation for both campaigns will commence immediately, with the majority of offshore operations scheduled for execution in Q2 and Q3 2026.
“These awards further strengthen our collaboration with Equinor and confirm Reach Remote as a robust and flexible platform for both reservoir monitoring and IMR operations. The integration of Reach Remote with our proprietary gWatch technology, as well as ROV‑based inspection and tooling, demonstrates how uncrewed solutions can deliver high‑quality data and services while reducing operational complexity and emissions,” said Jostein Alendal, CEO of Reach Subsea.
