BP, i-Tech Agree to Subsea IMR Deal in North Sea

BP has contracted with i-Tech Services for subsea construction, inspection, repair, and maintenance (IMR) of BP’s portfolio in the West of Shetland and northern UK North Sea regions. Under the terms of the deal, i-Tech will provide a life-of-field support vessel complete with work-class and observation-class remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), capable of performing inspection, survey, intervention, light subsea construction, and emergency response services.

Project management and engineering support will be executed from i-Tech’s office in Aberdeen, UK.

“We have over 20 years’ experience working with BP both in the North Sea, and in particular the challenging environmental conditions offshore West of Shetland. This award, which is a renewal of our existing contract, acknowledges the strength and depth of our life-of-field capabilities, technology expertise, and proven track record in the successful delivery of safe, efficient, and reliable operations,” i-Tech senior vice president Steve Wisely said in a statement.
