Norway’s Equinor has awarded Italy’s Saipem a subsea service contract which entails using a wireless underwater intervention drone and an ROV on the Njord field located offshore Norway.
The contract will make Equinor the first user of technology expected to be completed in 2020, Equinor said on Wednesday.
“This is a historic contract in the oil and gas industry. It is the first contract signed for the use of advanced wireless drone services. We are pleased to secure a contract that will bring subsea technology a big step forward. Equinor aims to help shape the development of this type of technology, which this contact underscores,” said Anders Opedal, executive vice president, Technology, Projects & Drilling.
