See detailed map on our bulletin websiteSubsea campaign to disconnect and remove Sean Field pipelines and subsea infrastructure
The project is to remove 20” and 30” pipeline tie-in spools, the Sean RD power cable, the SSIV and protection frame, the SSIV umbilical and the mooring buoys using vessels Edda Freya and Olympic Ares. Starting 7th June 2026.
As part of field decommissioning operations, the following field infrastructure will be removed using two vessels Edda Freya and Olympic Ares over two months.
• Tie in spools from PL310 (Sean Papa to Sean Romeo production flowline)
• Tie in spools from PL311 (Sean Papa to SSIV to Bacton production flowline)
• PLU5156 (Sean Papa to Sean Romeo power cable; 4.89 km in length)
• PLU5157 (367 m Sean Papa to SSIV hydraulic umbilical; 367 m in length)
• SSIV
• Mooring buoys
In order to gain access to the pipeline ends, a dredger will be employed to gain access to the ends for cutting. Two 20” tie-in spools of PL310 (41 m section at the Sean Romeo end and 50 m section at the Sean Papa end), three 30” tie-in spools (two 10 m sections at the SSIV end and one 65 m at the Sean Papa end) will then be cut and recovered. The pipeline spools will be recovered to the vessel deck in 10 m sections. Once recovered, the remaining pipeline ends will be remediated with two tonne rock bags.

Nearshore UXO Identification Dive Survey - Curtis Marshall
Mariners are advised that the Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP) will be undertaking a nearshore Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) investigation survey in the southern North Sea, utilising divers. The survey will be conducted by the vessel DSV Curtis Marshall.
Mariners are advised that the Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP) will be undertaking a nearshore Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) investigation survey in the southern North Sea, utilising divers. The survey will be conducted by the vessel DSV Curtis Marshall (see section 6)
The scope will include targeted investigation of potential UXO targets within NEP Pipeline and Cable Construction Area Block 1 (see Figure 1 and Table 1 below) in water depths of ≤10 m. Where required, clearance activities will be undertaken. Clearance methods may include deflagration (low-order disarming), and the relocation of debris away from the pipeline route and associated exclusion zone. In addition, the vessel will undertake nearshore sediment sampling within the same work area. Relevant permissions in place are provided in Section 2.
The vessel is estimated to arrive on location on 17thApril 2026.The investigation is expected to take ~14 days to complete (weather dependant). Mariners are advised to maintain a safe distance (of at least 500m) from the survey vessel locations at all times.
For further information, contact details for the Fishing Industry Representative and the Company Fisheries Liaison Officer are provided in Section 7.
See detailed map on our bulletin websiteHook-up and tensioning of Rosebank FPSO mooring lines
3 x anchor handling vessels (AHVs) will hook-up and tension 12 x mooring chains to secure the Rosebank FPSO in location. This will be followed by cutting off the excess mooring chain and recovering to deck. Part of this scope will be to recover blast matts & turning bollards.
Skandi Vega / Skandi Iceman & Skandi Skansen will conduct operations to hook-up 12 x mooring chains to the Rosebank FPSO when in location in the Rosebank field.
This will include tensioning of the mooring chains to establish 100 year storm safe.
Following this the excess mooring chain will be cut and recovered to deck.
Survey activities is a part of this scope.
Part of this scope will be to recover blast matts & turning bollards.
Once 100 year storm safe is established the Skandi Vega & Skandi Iceman will leave the field, however Skandi Skansen will remain until scope complete.

OBN survey VIR26001 – Frigg
Viridien is planning to undertake an ocean bottom node (OBN) survey over the Frigg field area in both Norway and UK waters from 1st May until mid-August for up to 110 days. The survey will cover UKCS blocks 3/30, 4/46, 9/5, 9/10, 10/1 & 10/6 and Norway blocks 25/1-2 & 30/10-11.
This OBN survey will utilise three vessels: Siddis Mariner (node handling), Sanco Sword (seismic source) and Tanux III (support vessel).
Siddis Mariner will deploy acoustic sensors (nodes) using ROV’s on the seafloor around the Odin and Frigg fields, starting at the northern edge of the survey area. The nodes will be deployed 200m apart in lines up to 25km in length, with a line separation of 200m. Up to 25 lines of nodes are deployed at once.
Working in tandem with the Siddis Mariner, Sanco Sword will deploy a 200m towed 800 cubic inch seismic source up to 5km around and over the deployed node patch in an east / west direction, gradually moving southwards with each line. Once a node line has been covered by the seismic source, each node is recovered by ROV and processed for use on another section of the survey.
Tanux III will act as the support vessel for both Siddis Mariner and Sanco Sword.
Please note that the area defined in this notification will not be restricted in its entirety to fishing vessels for the duration of the survey. The rolling node area will only restrict access to a smaller section. FLOs will be placed on board Siddis Mariner and Sanco Sword to assist with fisheries on site.

The OBN survey at Martin Linge will be carried out by the vessels REM Trader, Sanco Star, Esvagt Castor and Stålbas.
REM Trader will lay nodes on the seabed around the Martin Linge platform and Martin Linge FSO. The nodes are organised in a series of 27 lines in the NE-SW direction. On each line, there will be a node every 25m. Nodes lines are 400m apart.
When deploying the nodes, REM Trader will be very restricted in her manoeuvrability. She will have nodes, ropes and weights being deployed from her stern at a speed of 0.5-2 knots.
After nodes have been deployed Sanco Star will then deploy 2 seismic sources and fire shot points every 25m over the whole area at an average speed of 4.5 knots. Shot points are also fired along straight lines in the NE-SW direction. The source lines will be 100m apart. The towed equipment behind Sanco Star when acting as source vessel will measure approximately 200m x 100m (LxW).

The proposed scope of work includes downhole flushing (no discharges to sea) of XT pipework and jumpers, disconnection of XTs, and performing barrier testing on isolation valves at each XT.
In addition, PL870B (Water Injection Pipeline to Strathspey) will be disconnected at the SMS.
This is in preparation to support the final decommissioning at a later date.

Perenco are planning to undertake modifications to the topsides and install a conductor at Hoton utilising the HAEVA Jack-Up Barge (JUB). The HAEVA JUB will be positioned at Hoton, interfacing with the platform from the 5th April at the earliest (weather dependent). The Project is expected to last for a duration of 50 days. The HAEVA JUB occupies a much larger footprint that the Hoton installation, therefore, whilst the HAEVA JUB is on location, the HAEVA JUB Aids to Navigation (AtN) will be the sole AtNs for the duration of deployment and the Hoton platform will be blacked out. The positioning of the HAEVA JUB will require four mooring anchors which will be positioned at the following locations (ED50 UTM Grid Zone 31):
• Starboard Bow: E 382 609, N 5 963 278• Starboard Aft: E 382 056, N 5 962 750• Port Aft: E 381 446, N 5 963 440• Port Bow: E 382 038, N 5 963 924

204/20a Schiehallion NW Drill Centre Wet Parked Marine Riser
In Q2 2024, a Semi-submersible Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit incurred an unexpected release of the Lower Marine Riser Package, and the associated Marine Riser. This fell to seabed in the Schiehallion NW drill centre. Subsequent works were undertaken to cut the riser into manageable sections, relocate them to a wet park area outside the 500m zone at Schiehallion NW. Stabilisation material was then installed to secure their position pending retrieval to surface and subsequent on-shore disposal.
14 off Marine riser sections remain on the seabed at the location identified on the attached layout drawing. Their positioning has been secured utilising a combination of methods involving the following deployed equipment:
- 24 off gabion bags (2 te each),
- 24 off (6m x 3m mattresses),
- 14 off horizontal nets and
- 1 off clump weight.
Plans are underway to retrieve all items during a single campaign scheduled for 2026 following which this notice will be retracted/updated to confirm full removal.
The Marine Riser was cut up, relocated and subsequently stabilised via a Marine Licence (ML/1100) issued by OPRED.
