Eidesvik Offshore Secures Key PSV Contract
Norwegian offshore vessel operator Eidesvik Offshore has announced a significant contract win for its platform supply vessel (PSV), Viking Princess. This contract, awarded by DNO Norge in collaboration with partners Sval Energi and Wellesley Petroleum, involves operations related to the Deepsea Yantai drilling rig. Scheduled to begin in January 2026, the project is expected to last between 300 and 365 days, focusing on the plugging and abandonment of one well and the drilling of four consecutive wells.
Details of the Contract
The contract marks a strategic development for Eidesvik Offshore as it enhances its operational portfolio. The Viking Princess, built in 2012, will play a crucial role in the upcoming drilling campaign. The collaboration with DNO Norge and its partners Sval Energi and Wellesley Petroleum highlights the importance of efficient supply vessel operations in offshore drilling projects. This contract not only emphasizes Eidesvik’s capabilities but also strengthens its relationships within the industry.
With work expected to commence in early 2026, the project involves complex tasks, including the plugging and abandonment of an existing well, which is a critical aspect of offshore drilling operations. The subsequent drilling of four consecutive wells will further engage the PSV in essential activities, ensuring that operations are conducted smoothly and efficiently. Eidesvik Offshore’s experience in the field positions it well for the challenges ahead, and this new contract is a testament to its expertise and reliability in providing support for offshore drilling activities.
