Fugro's deepwater ROV services to back drilling activities offshore India
What happened
Fugro won a three-year contract to provide deepwater ROV support for ONGC’s drilling and completion activities offshore India. The scope covers up to deepwater 3,000-meter operations on board the Platinum Explorer drillship and includes installation, intervention and BOP/well-control support. This is operationally real for APAC because it locks ROV capacity and specialist crews into a multi-year drill program—watch for how that affects slot availability for nearby campaigns
Why the category manager should care
Treat this as an immediate capacity commitment: multi-year ROV support removes a chunk of regional spot capacity and changes mobilisation timelines
Key facts
- Three-year ROV contract with Vantage/ONGC support
