DeepOcean awarded installation work on gas project by Equinor

The SNEIG project is part of the broader Snorre Expansion Project, which aims to extend the production life of the Snorre oil and gas field – originally discovered in 1979 and operational since 1992 – beyond 2040. The Snorre field is located in the Tampen area of the northern North Sea, in water depths of 300–350 meters.

DeepOcean’s scope of work includes installation of a subsea safety isolation valve (SSIV), a subsea umbilical, and tie-in to the existing pipeline using connectors and associated tooling from the Pipeline Repair and Subsea Intervention (PRSI) pool.

DeepOcean will also provide preparatory subsea construction activities include isolation pig tracking, pipeline coating removal and cutting operations. Suitable crossings for the new umbilical will also be prepared and installed at the field before various mechanical completion and commissioning activities are performed.

“This is a complex subsea project that underlines Equinor’s dedication to responsible resource utilisation through life-of-field extensions. Through our in-depth knowledge of the specialised tooling from the PRSI pool, matched with our highly capable construction vessel fleet, I am confident that our skilled project team will ensure a safe and successful project execution in close cooperation with Equinor,” says Olaf A. Hansen, managing director of DeepOcean’s European operation

The award also includes the provision of onshore engineering, procurement and project management services. DeepOcean will manage the project out of its office in Haugesund, Norway.

Offshore operations will be executed during the summer season of 2026 using a subsea construction vessel from DeepOcean’s chartered fleet.
