Fugro Galaxy - UXO Survey - Liverpool Bay Assets Field



UXO & Various surveys throughout the LBA Field - vessel will be in field for around 90 days.


ENI UK is currently in the process of Decommissioning of assets in Liverpool Bay as part of the end oil & gas production (Figure 2.1). There are two main projects running in parallel.

  • Decommissioning of the platforms
  • Plug & Abandonment of wells for the closure of the field
  • Seismic Survey 6z IW Survey at Lennox
  • A combined UXO desk study has been commissioned by ENI in 2025 which was completed by Fugro to assess the UXO risk for the different project phases, this incorporates historic
    survey data to understand the potential risk of UXO’s with depth and in many places in Liverpool Bay bedrock is at or very near the surface resulting in a potentially lower risk of UXO’s being present. This desk study has then informed dedicated risk assessments for decommissioning and P&A should be consulted for a more detailed understanding of the UXO’s potentially located in the area.

Decommissioning Activities & Sail-away of FPF-1 - Greater Stella Area



GSA flushing, disconnects and sail-away of the FPF-1 semi-submersible asset


Ithaca Energy is undertaking the decommissioning of the Greater Stella Area (GSA) field facilities, located in central North Sea Blocks 30/06, 30/01 and 29/10. GSA has been developed via a number of subsea tie-backs (Stella main drill centre (MDC), Stella north drill centre (NDC), Harrier, Abigail and Vorlich), and associated subsea infrastructure (manifolds, infield pipelines, gas lift lines, umbilicals, risers and riser bases), and export pipelines (gas and oil), tied into the floating production facility, the Stella FPF-1. 

The Stella FPF-1 is due to come off location 6th July. The FPF-1 will be towed to Norway, with an anticipated arrival date of 9th July. Activity will remain in field through July - Sept to remove the MWAs and other infrastructure. 

Some items will remain wet stored in the GSA for later recovery - 500m zones will remain in place.

NEP Pre-lay Mattress Installation and Boulder Relocation



Mariners are advised that the Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP) will be undertaking outcrop crossing mattress installation, gate/marker installation, boulder relocation and associated pre-lay survey activities within the NEP pipeline construction area as part of the pre-lay pipeline construction programme.


Mariners are advised that the Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP) will be undertaking outcrop crossing mattress installation, gate/marker installation, boulder relocation and associated pre-lay survey activities within the NEP pipeline construction area as part of the pre-lay pipeline construction programme.

The works will be undertaken by the EDT Hercules, which is currently scheduled to mobilise from Aberdeen on 25 June 2026, with arrival at the construction area anticipated on 27–28 June 2026, subject to weather conditions.

Initial activities will comprise mattress installation, gate/marker installation and boulder relocation works, which are expected to continue for approximately 45 days. Following completion of these activities, the vessel will undertake pre-lay survey and pipelay support activities within the construction area.

Offshore activities by the EDT Hercules are currently anticipated to continue until approximately 24 September 2026, although all dates remain subject to weather, operational requirements and programme changes.

An Offshore Fisheries Liaison Officer (OFLO) will be present onboard the EDT Hercules throughout the offshore campaign and will act as the primary point of contact between the vessel and the fishing industry.Mariners are advised to maintain a safe distance of at least 500 metres from the EDT Hercules at all times.

The operations will be conducted within Fishing Blocks 1–5. These locations are shown below in Figure 1 and Table 1.

For further information, contact details for the Fishing Industry Representative and Company Fisheries Liaison Officer are provided in Section 7.

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. Mobilisation of Olympic Ares Friday 12th June from Killingøy, Norway.


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.

Mariners are advised that United Infrastructure will be carrying out pipeline installation works on behalf of Liverpool Bay CCS Ltd under the River Dee. This work is trenchless and will not interrupt navigation.


United Infrastructure (formerly United Living Infrastructure Services) is the main contractor for the Project responsible for the design, procurement and construction of the pipeline and associated infrastructure on behalf of the Licence Holder Liverpool Bay CCS Limited.

The pipeline installation under the River Dee will be carried using a trenchless crossingmethod employing a Herrenknecht (HK) Direct Pipe machine (similar to Horizontal DirectionalDrill).The launch pit will be located approximately 240 metres from the flood defence, and thereception pit approximately 190 metres from the flood defence. So the associated compoundsand works will be set back over 16m from the flood defences and banks of the River Dee. 

Thepipeline will be installed greater than 15m below the river bed and there will not be any activities within 16m of the flood banks or within the channel of the River Dee.It is our intension to commence works as soon as condition 3.18 of the Marine Licence has been discharged. Some site preparation works will start at compounds during weekcommencing 18/05/26. With works under the River Dee scheduled to commence 10/06/26 with an estimated duration of 6 weeks.

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.
