Frigg - OBN survey VIR26001
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.

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.

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.
