DOF Subsea says that its subsidiary, DOF ASA, signed a contract with Petrobras and Equinor, for the use of two vessels

DOF Subsea published a statement last Friday, July 16, that its subsidiary in Brazil, DOF ASA won two more contracts with oil companies Equinor and Petrobras. The contracts are for the leasing and provision of services for the following vessels: Skandi Paraty (with Petrobras) and Skandi Iguaçu (which was contracted by Equinor).

DOF contracts with Petrobras and Equinor

DOF's anchor handler, Skandi Paraty has won a one-year contract extension with Petrobras until July 2022. The vessel has a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) operated by DOF Subsea Brasil. Additionally, DOF's Skandi Iguaçu is contracted by Equinor on a spot utilization contract in July and August.

DOF ASA did not give further details about the contracts, nor which projects are in question. And this is not the first time DOF has worked with oil and gas giants Petrobras and Equinor. In June last year, the Skandi Urca and Skandi Fluminense AHTS vessels were appointed to support Petrobras' exploration and production activities on the Brazilian continental shelf, while half a year later, the Skandi Rio was hired for the same work.

Recently, DOF Subsea secured several contracts to support ocean floor node (OBN) seismic surveys in Petrobras' Jubarte, Tupi and Iracema fields. Speaking of Equinor, DOF secured a contract extension for the Skandi Vega with the Norwegian company in October 2020. The vessel is under contract until May 2022.

Previously, the company had already signed a contract with Petrobras for the ship Skandi Rio

At the end of last year, Petrobras signed a three-year contract with DOF for the Skandi Rio vessel. The towing and anchor handling vessel will support Petrobras' exploration and production activities on the Brazilian continental shelf. Skandi Rio is an AHTS vessel of Brazilian construction and flag, equipped with work class ROVs for operations up to 3.000 meters deep. The vessel is a UT 722 L design built in 2007.

The CEO of DOF says in a statement that “I am very pleased with the award of the contract, which confirms the strong position of the DOF Group in the South American region”. Previously, the vessel operated for the French multinational Total, also in Brazil, in a contract signed in May 2019. The contract expired in 13 firm months and two six-month options.
