Oceaneering International Secures Multi-Year Contract with BP for Greater Tortue Ahmeyim Field

Houston-based Oceaneering International has been awarded a multi-year contract on BP’s Greater Tortue Ahmeyim field off Mauritania and Senegal.

The contract was awarded to Oceaneering’s offshore projects group by BP’s subsidiary BP Mauritania Investments for the provision of subsea inspection, maintenance, and repair services and remotely operated vehicle services.

Oceaneering will support this contract with one of its multi-purpose vessels outfitted with two work-class ROVs.

The scope of work will also include project management, engineering, and integration services provided by the company’s local and international personnel.

Engineering and pre-mobilisation activities have already begun, with field operations expected to start in the second quarter of 2025. The initial contract duration is three years, with two one-year options to extend.

The Greater Tortue Ahmeyim gas project produced first gas at the start of the year. The GTA floating facility, straddling the maritime border between Senegal and Mauritania, in water depths of up to 2,850 m, is expected to produce 2.3m tonnes of LNG per year in its first phase.
