Mermaid Subsea Services has successfully completed the first stage of a multi-year UKCS decommissioning contract for Shell ahead of schedule, it said October 3.
It removed well heads and protection covers and transferred them to a vessel for shipping ashore for disposal.
For the next stage of the project, which is due to begin next year, Mermaid will use specialist tooling equipment to retrieve well head flow base structures, followed by well head severance and recovery operations in 2026. All the recovered materials from the structures will be managed to ensure maximum reuse or recycling.
Mermaid said it was “immensely proud” of the completion ahead of schedule and work is underway to prepare for the next phase, scheduled to get underway early next year.”
