Clough Helix Joint Venture Announced
The Clough Helix JV will integrate Helix ESG's well intervention equipment with Clough's new 12-man saturation diving system, to enable both to be deployed from the 118 meter long DP2 multiservice vessel Normand Clough outfitted with a 250 ton active heave compensated crane and twin deepwater work class Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs). This unique configuration makes the Normand Clough ready to carry out a broad spread of offshore tasks without spending time in port for major reconfiguration.
"The geographic spread of the Asia Pacific region has made it a logistically expensive area in which to operate. In partnering with Helix we will provide a range of subsea services with the minimum of mobilisation and provide a cost effective service for our customers", said Clough's Chief Executive Officer, John Smith.
"Our Well Intervention operations in Australia have a successful track record of using third party vessels. The collaboration with Clough will enable the joint venture to offer a full range of subsea services to regional operators from a dedicated vessel," said Owen Kratz, Helix ESG President and Chief Executive Officer.
The Normand Clough will relocate imminently from the Gulf of Mexico to the Asia Pacific region.
The establishment of the Clough Helix Joint Venture will not have a material impact on earnings for the current financial year.
Clough delivers an integrated Engineering, Procurement and Construction service to projects in the oil and gas, mineral and infrastructure sectors in Australia and across South East Asia. The Group's services range from concept development through design, construction, installation, commissioning, operations and maintenance.
