Swedish company MMT has been awarded a long term service agreement with Denmark’s DONG Energy Exploration and Production.
Since 2008, MMT has performed the annual inspection on the DONG pipelines in the North Sea. In January 2013 MMT have been awarded the survey period 2013 to 2014 with an option to prolong the services to 2015-2017.
The acoustic and ROV survey scope in this agreement will be conducted with the survey vessel Franklin. The vessel will be equipped with a hull-mounted EM710 multibeam echo sounder and both an ROV and an ROTV. MMT’s ROTV will have high resolution Edgetech 4200 (300/600 kHz) side scan sonar. The ROV inspection survey will be conducted with a Sub Atlantic Comanche, equipped with a MBES system and high resolution digital colour camera.
“MMT believes that their survey platforms, survey systems and experienced personnel are the key to provide accurate and safe offshore services for the oil and gas companies. And foremost, MMT is very pleased and excited with the continued confidence from DONG and is looking forward to this annual project,” said the company in a press release.
