Josh is correct.
It is doing some pipeline replacement and rerouting.

All,

While listed as “unspecified” in the AIS database, the configuration of this vessel indicates that it is a cable or pipe laying ship. Considering its location, it is most likely laying petroleum or natural gas piping to support the offshore rigs. There are multiple cable/pipe reels on the work deck and the stern is equipped with a stinger and tower guide used to safely place the pipe in-water.

Does anyone know what vessel is moored between platforms A & B?   I've had a lot of beachgoers ask.
 
Happy New Year to all,
