Spirit completes £40M North Sea Decom Campaign

26 August 2026

Spirit Energy has successfully completed a £40 million decommissioning operation in UK waters, combining multiple operations within a single campaign to plug and abandon (P&A) three subsea wells, removing more than 234 tonnes of subsea infrastructure and with 100 per cent of the recovered materials to be reused or recycled in UK yards.

Working alongside more than 30 UK supply chain partners, including DeepOcean and Well-Safe, Spirit Energy safely and successfully delivered key plug and abandonment activities on the Seven Seas and Grove G5 production wells, and the Grove Deep exploration well, located in the UK Southern North Seas between April and July this year.

Highlighting the important role domestic gas has played in UK energy security, the Seven Seas and Grove G5 wells collectively produced 56 billion cubic feet of gas during their operational lives, enough to heat more than 2.5 million homes for a year.
