DeepOcean

We are honored to share that DeepOcean has won the Innovation in Decommissioning Award at the 9th Decom Mission Awards. The award recognizes our work on the Gryphon Alpha FPSO decommissioning project, delivered for TotalEnergies – a first-of-its-kind scope executed entirely diverless and enabled by proprietary tooling designed and built in-house by our teams. Decommissioning is complex, and doing it better, safer, smarter and more sustainably takes efforts from all involved. Thank you to the Decom Mission community for celebrating progress across the sector, and to our teams, partners, and clients who make this work possible. 👉 For a closer look at the project, see our Gryphon video series: https://lnkd.in/eV4_bDv8

DeepOcean has been awarded a significant subsea contract package by Equinor, covering multiple fields on the Norwegian continental shelf. The scope includes installation work at the Visund Field, a subsea tie-back installation at the Isflak discovery near the Johan Castberg FPSO in the Barents Sea, and an option for riser and umbilical recovery at Snorre A. The offshore work spans the 2027-28 seasons. "Assignments of this complexity require strong coordination and robust safety planning across both the operator and our subcontractor network to secure seamless execution. Our proven track record on comparable projects for Equinor makes us proud to be selected again," says Olaf A. Hansen, Executive Vice President for DeepOcean's Northern Europe region.

Decommissioning may mark the end of a field's lifecycle, but it requires the same commitment to safety, precision and innovation as any other phase. From 25-29 May connect with our team of experts at Decom Week 2026 in Aberdeen to exchange insights and discuss how DeepOcean can support your decommissioning challenges. If you are attending, we welcome you to connect with our team on the ground. Swipe through the carousel below for details on our team's speaking engagements ⬇️

DeepOcean has been awarded a contract to support the subsea decommissioning and disconnection of an FPSO in the UK sector of the North Sea. The scope includes isolation and disconnection of subsea trees, manifolds and pipeline infrastructure, riser and umbilical disconnection, mooring chain severance and recovery, and FPSO sail away and tow to shore. This project will be managed and executed from by DeepOcean’s operations in Aberdeen, UK, building on methodologies and proprietary tooling pioneered at the Gryphon Alpha FPSO disconnection.

A look back at the delivery of a complex subsea recycling operation DeepOcean completed the Gryphon Alpha FPSO disconnection and removal project, delivered for TotalEnergies. The scope included pipeline flushing, disconnection of flowlines and umbilicals, removal of risers and subsea infrastructure, and towing of the FPSO. A key milestone was the successful execution of spool disconnection and blind flange installation using proprietary, in-house developed tooling – enabling the entire operation to be carried out without divers. This video highlights moments from the campaign and capabilities behind it. The full video series, covering the project in more detail, is available in link below in the comments.

DeepOcean completes first subsea intervention project with offshore operational leadership based onshore The work, carried out for Aker BP ASA at the Idun Nord field in the Norwegian Sea, was led onshore, including the shift supervisor, from a remote operating centre (ROC). The scope required subsea crane operations and close-proximity vessel positioning. This setup enabled completion within a 12-hour shift, compared to the historic need for a full 14-day offshore rotation for personnel, reducing time offshore and allowing more flexible use of specialist expertise across projects.

DeepOcean has been awarded a contract for installation support of inter-array cables offshore Taiwan. The scope includes installation of the inter-array cables connecting wind turbines to offshore substations, alongside engineering and project management services. The offshore work will be executed in collaboration with Dong Fang Offshore 東方風能 (DFO), utilizing the enhanced subsea vessel Orient Adventurer, equipped for efficient cable transport and installation. "This project demonstrates the quality and commitment we bring to the global offshore wind industry, working across Europe, Americas and now Asia-Pacific. Delivering high-quality solutions whilst understanding the local requirements is a key part of our operating model," says Mitchell Pike, Executive Vice President of DeepOcean's offshore renewables business. The project will be managed locally by DeepOcean's offshore renewables team, supported by subsea cable installation experts in Europe, with offshore operations in 2026. 📥 Link to the full announcement in the comments.

We are pleased to announce Johnny-Andrè Spangberg as DeepOcean's lead for the uncrewed surface vessel (USV).   In this newly formed role, Johnny-Andrè will oversee commercial strategy and partnerships across our USV program, supporting continued development and deployment of advanced subsea capabilities.   This step reflects our commitment to strengthening collaboration across the uncrewed ecosystem and scaling robust, operationally relevant USV solutions.   Whether you are a technology partner, a vendor ready for cooperation, or an operator exploring uncrewed solutions – we encourage you to contact Johnny-Andrè Spangberg!

Virtual meets reality: DeepOcean and Woodside Energy with full-field 3D scan of subsea infrastructure   DeepOcean, in collaboration with Woodside, has successfully completed simultaneous inspection and 3D scanning of subsea infrastructure at the Sangomar field, offshore Senegal.   The campaign covered 69 subsea structures and was delivered using a remotely supported solution enabling both inspection and photogrammetry to be performed in parallel – reducing offshore time while increasing data output.   "We have developed a holistic system that allows us to conduct both operations simultaneously, enabling us to cut vessel days and costs for the operator," says Øyvind Mikaelsen, CEO of DeepOcean.   Woodside's Sangomar Subsea Lead, Ben Witton, added: "DeepOcean's dual-scope approach has delivered meaningful gains by reducing offshore time while providing richer data across the Sangomar field."   📥 Link to the full announcement in the comments below.

DeepOcean recognized at TotalEnergies HSSE UK Awards A recent ceremony in Aberdeen recognised the many achievements that have positively contributed to the health, safety, sustainability, and environmental performance across all TotalEnergies UK sites in 2025. Out of a total of 10 awards, DeepOcean was nominated and shortlisted for two – the "Best Safety Improvement Award" and the "Team of the Year Award". DeepOcean narrowly missed out on the Team of the Year Award but is proud to be winners of the "Best Safety Improvement Award" together with TotalEnergies 's Gryphon Decommissioning Team. This award is a testament to the safety innovation and outstanding efforts of everyone involved in the design, build, testing and offshore execution of this project.
