OB, good research. I worked on a couple of projects for Addax Petroleum (Nigeria) many years ago, one was a 'flexi tie-back' from the FPSO Sengi Barge to PLEM in field I think it was OML123 or 126?? Not sure... Anyway another project, funny story, I was on a DSV Rockwater1 we sailed all the way to Nigeria from Aberdeen to do another job (think it was for Addax also) we were to install some Subsea pipelines to the FPSO Knockando... When we got their we setup for operations only to find the company (Addax??) supplied us and their team with the wrong information (local seasonal tidal currents, wind directions etc..) anyway after 'risk assessing' the situation we found we couldn't deploy/recover our 'dive bell' safely.... So the job was quickly renamed 'Operation No Can Do!!'.... Lol... We then turned around and went home.... BTW got a cracking tan :)
Don't know if any of my Addax contacts would be willing to help.. LOL...
