Subsea7 has scored a major win to round out 2024. The company revealed on Monday, December 30, that it has been awarded a significant contract by Turkish Petroleum Offshore Technology Center AS (TP-OTC). This deal will see Subsea7 delivering inspection, repair, and maintenance (IRM) services for the Sakarya gas field, a key development in the Black Sea.
The scope of the project is no small feat. It includes project management and engineering spearheaded from Subsea7’s offices in Istanbul, Türkiye, and Aberdeen, Scotland. Add to that the deployment of specialized equipment, including two high-tech work-class remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), and construction personnel onboard TP-OTC’s light construction vessel Mukavemet. Offshore operations are scheduled to kick off in 2025 and extend into 2026.
Hani El Kurd, Senior Vice President of UK and Global IRM at Subsea7, expressed optimism about the partnership. “We are pleased to have been selected to deliver IRM services for TP-OTC in the Black Sea. This contract demonstrates our strategy to deliver engineering solutions across the full asset lifecycle in close collaboration with our clients. We look forward to continuing to work alongside TP-OTC to optimise gas production from the Sakarya field and strengthen our long-term presence in Türkiye,” El Kurd said.
The Sakarya gas field is a cornerstone of Türkiye’s energy ambitions, and Subsea7’s involvement underscores the growing international collaboration in the region’s offshore developments. With Subsea7’s expertise, the Sakarya project aims to ensure operational reliability and extend asset life, critical components in achieving production efficiency.
As the industry looks ahead to 2025, the deal also highlights Subsea7’s strategy to remain a front-runner in global offshore energy solutions. It’s not just a contract; it’s a clear signal of the company’s commitment to fostering innovation and sustainable development in one of the world’s most strategically significant energy regions.
