Friday, July 17 2026

Decommissioning

The removal of Heimdal Main Topside campaign started on 15.07.26 with mobilization and transit to Heimdal with the heavy lift vessel Sleipnir.

The topside modules will be liftet off the jacket and transported to Aker Solutions Decommissioning Stord for disposal.

Heimdal is a field in the central part of the North Sea. The water depth in the area is 120 metres. Heimdal was discovered in 1972, and the plan for development and operation (PDO) was approved in 1981.

The field was developed with an integrated drilling, production and accommodation facility with a steel jacket (HMP1). Production started in 1985 and ceased in 2020. Heimdal was used as a gas processing centre until mid-2023.

Decommissioning of the facilities must be completed by the end of 2028.
