DCN Diving Nets Dana Petroleum Deal

DCN will execute fabrication, installation, and precommissioning of various components for a gas export pipeline from two platforms in the Dutch North Sea.

DCN Diving has received a contract from Dana Petroleum to execute work offshore the Netherlands. Under the terms of the deal, DCN will perform the fabrication, installation, and precommissioning of various tie-in spools and a flanged connector for Dana’s DP-012 gas export pipeline.

The DP-012 pipeline links the Dutch P15D and P11B (De Ruyter) platforms, which are located in the Dutch North Sea. The scope of work includes diving and support for dredging and remotely operated vehicles. DCN Diving said that work should begin in June.

Dana Petroleum operates the De Ruyter platform, which is located in 114 ft water depth approximately 37 miles northwest of The Hague. The development consists of a permanently manned platform and a tanker. Dana and Energie Beheer Nederland co-own the field.
