(offshore-energy.biz) U.S.-headquartered offshore energy services provider Helix Energy Solutions has confirmed the arrival of its purpose-built DP3 semi-submersible vessel to Namibia’s Port of Walvis Bay to prepare for its decommissioning assignment off the coast of Brazil.
The U.S. player won a 12-month deepwater well decommissioning contract with extension options for work in Brazil’s Campos Basin in October 2022, enabling the semi-submersible to provide plug and abandonment services to Shell on subsea wells at the Bijupira and Salema fields.
Helix Energy Solutions’ Helix Q7000 semi-submersible vessel is now in Walvis Bay, a port town on the coast of Namibia, where it decided to make a stop during its journey from Australia to Brazil, which is the vessel’s final destination.
Moreover, the semi-sub will remain in Namibia for about ten days to complete preparations for operations in Brazil, including removing marine growth from the pontoons, before it goes to South America to start its next decommissioning campaign in Brazilian waters.
