Oceaneering International, Inc. OII has secured a new integrated offshore installation contract for the West Delta Deep Marine (WDDM) gas field development offshore Egypt. The award, granted by Burullus Gas Company, is expected to contribute meaningful revenues to Oceaneering in 2026 while reinforcing the company’s position in integrated subsea project execution.
The contract highlights growing demand for fast-track offshore solutions as operators seek to restore and maintain production efficiency in mature gas-producing regions.
Scope Covers Transportation, Installation and Commissioning
Under the agreement, Oceaneering will provide a fully integrated solution covering transportation, offshore installation and commissioning activities. The work includes deployment of a refurbished subsea umbilical along with a 2,000-meter thermoplastic composite pipe (TCP) flowline replacement system.
The company will also handle procurement and integration of the TCP infrastructure as part of the project scope. Refurbishment work for the subsea umbilical was completed at Oceaneering’s manufacturing facility in Rosyth, United Kingdom, demonstrating the company’s global operational capabilities.
In addition to installation services, Oceaneering will provide remotely operated vehicle (ROV) support and offshore survey services to assist field operations throughout the execution phase.
Accelerated Schedule Aims to Restore Production
The offshore operations are expected to begin on an accelerated timeline, reflecting the urgency associated with restoring production capacity at the WDDM development.
According to the senior vice president of Oceaneering’s Offshore Projects Group, the contract demonstrates the company’s ability to combine logistics management, refurbishment expertise, vessel operations and ROV services into a single integrated offering.
The project also underscores the industry’s increasing preference for end-to-end offshore solutions that reduce operational complexity and improve project execution speed.
Integrated Vessel Solutions Strengthen Market Position
The award further strengthens Oceaneering’s offshore projects portfolio and reinforces its strategic focus on integrated vessel solutions. By combining engineering expertise with subsea installation and robotic capabilities, the company continues to position itself as a comprehensive offshore services provider for global energy operators.
Egypt’s offshore gas sector remains an important regional growth market, particularly in the Mediterranean basin, where continued infrastructure investments are supporting long-term energy development initiatives.
Oceaneering Continues Expanding Offshore Capabilities
Oceaneering continues to expand its presence across offshore energy markets through integrated engineering and subsea service offerings. The latest Egypt contract reflects the company’s broader strategy of leveraging its technology, vessel operations and robotics expertise to support complex offshore developments worldwide.
Beyond offshore energy, Oceaneering also provides engineered services and robotic solutions to the defense, aerospace and manufacturing industries, diversifying its operational footprint across multiple industrial sectors.
