Shell Awards Offshore Brazil Trenching Contract to Helix Subsidiary

Shell has awarded Helix Energy Solutions Group's robotics subsidiary, Canyon Offshore a contract to trench and bury 40 km of pipe in 1,675 meters of water in the Campos Basin of offshore Brazil. The work will be performed at the Shell-operated BC-10 field during the fourth quarter from the DP III M/V Grand Canyon I, using the T-1200 Deepwater Trenching System. "This will be the deepest pipeline trenching project ever performed offshore Brazil, and the vessel Grand Canyon I deploying T-1200 is the perfect set of tools for the job,” said Ian Edmondstone, President of Canyon.
