Some of these projects include the installation of jumpers and X-mas trees at the Bonga Field in Nigeria, riser installation at the Åsgård field, and loading hose change-out at the Shihallion field west of Shetland.
Moreover, I have actively participated in projects such as flex jet and pipe recovery in Egypt, pile installation at Åsgård field, cable repair at Snøhvit field, boulder removal at Ormen Lange, and buoy installation in the Mediterranean Sea. Beyond these, my experience encompasses the installation of an STP buoy at Alvheim, trenching, and lay down of umbilicals at the Chriswick/Maria field, trenching operations in Shakalin, East Russia, and the installation of suction anchors at the Moho Bilondo field in West Africa and Torpedo anchor installation in Brazil.
Through my involvement in these varied projects, I have gained a comprehensive skill set that allows me to navigate the complexities of offshore operations with confidence and efficiency. My commitment to delivering top-notch results is unwavering, and I look forward to applying my expertise to future endeavors in the offshore industry.
