Seabed Debris - Hewett 52/5A Platform Removed
The Hewett gas installation the 52/5A has been removed - however some seabed debris will remain until final removal activities.
This notification relates to the Hewett 52/5A Installation, its removal (topsides and jacket) as part of the overall Hewett Field Decommissioning Project and the presence of debris on the seabed within the footprint and vicinity of the jacket as a legacy from its operational life (> 50 yrs). This debris has the potential to create hazards for other users of the sea, in particular trawling and fishing activities.
A seabed debris removal campaign will be undertaken (timing to be confirmed) to achieve and demonstrate the requirements for seabed clearance (including over trawl), as defined in the overall Hewett Field Decommissioning Programmes for surface and subsurface infrastructure.

Install and tie-in - Alligin Drill Centre West of Shetland
Subsea works at the Alligin Drill Centre (204/20a), West of Shetland. Planned works are described in the Consent to Locate Ref: CL/1487 as issued by OPRED (attached to this Notification) and the Pipeline Works Authorisation PW5143 as issued by the NSTA. Works include installation of Xmas Tree on the recently drilled Water Injection well and subsequent tie-in via jumper installation to existing infrastructure. All works will remain within the 500mz at 204/20a Alligin Subsea Drill Center.
The Schiehallion, Loyal & Alligin subsea fields (West of Shetland) are to be expended with new water injection and production wells over a campaign from 2023 to 2025, with all new wells connecting to existing subsea infrastructure. To date 3 new wells have been installed over 2023/24 with a further 3 wells to be installed in 2025.
As part of this phase of work, a new water injection Christmas Tree (AW12) will be tied into the existing Alligin well (AW11) flowbase, via a 6" water injection jumper, along with new controls supply jumpers (hydraulic and electrical) connected into an existing Alligin controls distribution assembly.
This work scope also includes the movement of previously wet stored jumpers from a defined wet store location into the work site. This wet store location and all other activities covered within these Notifications are located fully within the subsea 500m zone surrounding the Alligin Drill Centre – locations as per attached.
The Normand Subsea MSV will carry out the subsea activities, scheduled to take ~6 weeks.
