Rever completes contract in North Sea
Aberdeenshire-based Rever Offshore has completed a key contract for Serica Energy despite the challenges posed by coronavirus restrictions.
The contract is the second campaign Rever has undertaken for the North Sea operator within a framework agreement which commenced in November 2018.
The latest workscope, which took place in the North Sea’s Rhum field, was completed in late May.
Throughout the 14-day period, the firm deployed the dive support and offshore construction vessel Rever Polaris to carry out electrical diagnostics as part of a multi-year campaign of preventive maintenance on the subsea cable network. Subsequent testing took place via the Polaris and Serica’s Bruce platform.
The contract is one of several undertaken by Rever since the introduction of stringent physical distancing measures, implemented during the global Covid-19 pandemic. The firm said it has developed and adhered to strict protocols specific to the situation.
Barry Macleod, Rever Offshore chief executive, said: “As we complete our second campaign for Serica Energy within the current framework agreement, so our knowledge and understanding of the client continues to grow.
“Completed on schedule and, most importantly, safely during these operationally challenging times, this complex IRM [inspection, repair and maintenance] workscope is illustrative of the benefits an established client relationship can bring – and one which we look forward to building on in the future,” he added.
