DeepOcean announced on 19 November 2025 that it received a contract to perform subsea construction and tie-in work for a subsea field development on the UK continental shelf. The field is being developed as a subsea tieback to an existing host facility.

The scope includes installing a flexible production riser, flowline, and an umbilical connecting the host facility to the subsea xmas tree. It also covers protection work for the flowline and umbilical, along with commissioning of the newly deployed infrastructure.

Robin Mawhinney, managing director of DeepOcean UK, said the award acknowledges the company’s record in subsea construction. He added that, with increased attention on homegrown energy solutions, the company is supporting the client through its engineering expertise, operational excellence, and delivery certainty for a project focused on extending the life of existing infrastructure.

Engineering and project management will be led by DeepOcean’s Aberdeen office. Offshore execution will take place in two phases: initial subsea construction and tie-in operations, followed by commissioning by a second offshore construction vessel from DeepOcean’s chartered fleet.
