Subsea 7 S.A. has secured a sizeable contract valued between $50 million and $150 million from Turkish Petroleum Offshore Technology Center AS (TP-OTC) for inspection, repair, and maintenance (IRM) services at the Sakarya gas field in the Black Sea.
The contract covers project management and engineering tasks, which will be executed from Subsea7 offices in Istanbul, Türkiye, and Aberdeen, Scotland. It also includes the deployment of two work-class remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and construction personnel aboard TP-OTC’s light construction vessel Mukavemet. Offshore operations are planned for 2025 and 2026.
Hani El Kurd, Senior Vice President of UK and Global IRM at Subsea7, expressed enthusiasm for the project:
"We are pleased to have been selected to deliver IRM services for TP-OTC in the Black Sea. This contract demonstrates our strategy to deliver engineering solutions across the full asset lifecycle in close collaboration with our clients. We look forward to continuing to work alongside TP-OTC to optimize gas production from the Sakarya field and strengthen our long-term presence in Türkiye.”
The Sakarya gas field, Türkiye’s largest natural gas discovery, represents a key step toward energy independence. This partnership highlights Subsea 7’s role in enhancing offshore infrastructure and supporting Türkiye’s ambitions in the energy sector.
