MARINE Subsea UK has won a series of contracts worth more than £2million to carry out a multi-client well abandonment programme for operators in the North Sea.
In a campaign designed to spread the mobilisation and transit costs associated with decommissioning activity, Aberdeen-based Marine Subsea UK will use its specialist well intervention vessel Sarah to plug and abandon five wells for oil and gas operators including DNO, Bayerngas UK and Tullow Oil. Work is scheduled to start in July.
Marine Subsea UK will lead the project to perforate and cement the wells. It will also be responsible for the recovery and disposal of residual oil-based muds.
Alasdair Cowie, managing director of Marine Subsea UK, said: “We bring significant cost savings using this multi-client approach, helping to cut the expense of subsea decommissioning.
“We are delighted to be awarded these high-profile North Sea contracts, which recognise our track record and safety standards.
“We are well-positioned to support operators in the North Sea and globally to carry out decommissioning.”
Marine Subsea UK offers a range of subsea well intervention, decommissioning and construction support solutions to the global oil and gas industry.
It operates a fleet of vessels including two multi-purpose intervention vessels, five offshore support units and one semi-submersible crane vessel.
The Marine Subsea group is headquartered in Oslo, with operations in Aberdeen, Angola, Nigeria and Cyprus.
