Fossil Energy – Decommissioning
Aberdeenshire headquartered integrated services provider, AquaTerra Group, has announced four significant decommissioning contract wins totalling a seven-figure sum.
These latest projects represent a notable increase in AquaTerra’s roster of decommissioning projects between 2023 and 2025.
While late life and decommissioning services are not new areas of work for AquaTerra, the past year has marked several firsts including the first time that the company has been subcontracted by Dutch offshore contractor, Allseas.
Allseas has entrusted AquaTerra with a contract on Enquest’s Heather Alpha platform supporting the EPRD project through the provision of engineering, fabrication, access, and construction teams to complete underdeck preparation scopes for topside removal.
On TAQA’s Cormorant Alpha platform, AquaTerra supported Allseas by removing underdeck obstructions in preparation for topside removal. Following on from the success of this project, AquaTerra was then subcontracted by Wood for a further scope of work on the same platform.
By utilising the company’s lifting and rigging equipment and services, including QuikDeck, its modular suspended access platform, AquaTerra also won its first decommissioning contract with CNR International on the Ninian South platform, supporting conductor decommissioning.
