The contract also covers well intervention services to Blocks 18 and 31 in Angola.

Oceaneering International said that it has scheduled to begin operations in the second quarter of this year. It expects completion in late fall.

Oceaneering International president and CEO Rod Larson said: “The award of this project reinforces Oceaneering’s position as a leading RLWI service provider in deepwater environments.

“This is the latest example that performing RLWI from a multi-purpose vessel is a viable, more efficient alternative for production enhancement compared to performing similar services from a rig or purpose-built intervention vessel.”
