BLYTH, UK — Thompsons of Prudhoe will decommission various platform and subsea structures for Spirit Energy at its specialist site in northeast England.
Under a collaboration with Heerema Marine Contractors and DeepOcean, Thompsons of Prudhoe will provide turnkey dismantling and waste management services.
Heerema will deliver the six southern North Sea platform structures to the Battleship Wharf Terminal on two large barges during third-quarter 2023. They will be offloaded and transported using SPMTs to the purpose-built decommissioning, in co-operation with the Port of Blyth and subcontract partner Mammoet.
In addition, DeepOcean will recover the subsea structures, rigid pipelines, flexibles, umbilicals and concrete mattresses and deliver them into the Port using a variety of vessels.
Thompsons of Prudoe has been involved in the project since 2019.
Neil McCulloch, CEO of Spirit Energy and Industry Co-Chair of the UK’s Decommissioning and Repurposing Taskforce, said, “This builds on the excellent work that Thompsons has already carried out at our South Morecambe Terminal and demonstrates Spirit Energy’s ongoing commitment to support the local supply chain.”
