Major new subsea contract signed in Ghana

BOURBON has announced the signing of a new multi-month subsea services contract for operations offshore Ghana, on the Jubilee field. This contract involves the deployment of the MPSV Bourbon Evolution 802 in one of the Group’s core operating regions, reinforcing BOURBON’s position as a leading player in the area. 

A comprehensive scope of work 

The project involves the MPSV (Multi-Purpose Support Vessel) Bourbon Evolution 802, equipped with two work-class HD ROVs to deliver inspection, maintenance and repair (IMR) services on wellheads, cleaning of an FPSO’s mooring chains, survey operations, pipeline installation and X-tree installation. Around sixty people are currently on board to support the campaign, including the client’s representatives. Built for demanding subsea operations, the vessel combines surface support capabilities with deep-water intervention, enabling BOURBON to manage the full operational value chain. 

An established presence in a strategic market 

This new contract confirms BOURBON’s long-term commitment to West Africa, a historic core region for the Group where a hundred vessels are currently in operation. The Group draws on extensive experience in the area, including campaigns carried out since 2021 on Tullow-operated fields, including the Bourbon Evolution 804. 

« This contract reflects our ability to deliver integrated subsea solutions that combine engineering and offshore operations in our traditional markets. The Bourbon Evolution 802 is exactly the type of vessel that allows us to support our clients on technically complex projects, backed by a strong local presence and teams with deep expertise in the region » said Karim Mebarek, Chief Commercial Officer of BOURBON.
