Fugro has been awarded a contract by Total E&P Uruguay to support its drilling campaign offshore Uruguay.
The contract provides for ROV and tooling services in the Raya-1 field in 3,400 metres water depth. Fugro is supplying two 200hp FCV 4000D work-class ROV systems and subsea tooling, which are installed on board the Maersk Venturer drilling ship, and a field support vessel.
In addition to specialist tooling tasks, Fugro is performing a range of activities typically required during drilling operations such as bullseye checks, seabed survey, and general cleaning on and around the subsea BOP.
Raya-1 is the deepest well, by water depth, ever to be drilled. “Fugro’s top class intervention tooling is key to supporting Total in this world leading contract,” said Richard Mathieson , Fugro ROV services project manager.
