Fugro wins IRM contract offshore India

Fugro has won a three-year inspection, repair, and maintenance (IRM) contract with India's Seamec to support its asset management project for state-owned Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) off the west coast of India.

Fugro will provide Seamec with work-class remotely operated vehicle (ROV) services for three years from mid-June 2020, with the option of a two-year extension.

The Seamec project involves inspection, repair, and maintenance of ONGC Mumbai's offshore assets, which comprise processing and wellhead platforms, risers, subsea pipelines, pipeline end manifolds, single buoy moorings, and single point moorings.

Fugro's ROV services will support critical IRM activities including marine growth removal, cathodic potential, and thickness measurements of jacket structures and subsea pipelines.

The ROV to be deployed is equipped with specialist tools effective in water depths from 10 metres to 150 metres.
