French subsea and marine services contractor Bourbon has been awarded a new multi-month contract for operations on the Jubilee field offshore Ghana, deploying its Multi-Purpose Support Vessel Bourbon Evolution 802 for a wide-ranging scope of subsea work.
The vessel, equipped with two work-class HD ROVs, will deliver inspection, maintenance, and repair services on wellheads, cleaning of an FPSO’s mooring chains, survey operations, pipeline installation, and X-tree installation — what Bourbon describes as a comprehensive scope of work. Around sixty people are currently on board the vessel to support the campaign, including representatives of operator Tullow Oil.
Tullow, the British junior operating the Jubilee field, currently has six wells expected onstream in 2026 — five producers and one water injector — two of which, J74-P and J75-P, are already online. The next three producers are expected onstream later in June and July 2026, with the water injector due online in September 2026.
Bourbon said the vessel combines surface support capabilities with deep-water intervention, enabling the company to manage the full operational value chain for demanding subsea campaigns.
