Subsea Clearance Project - Ex Northern Producer FPF 500m Zone
EnQuest Heather Ltd intends to undertake the seabed clearance works in the ex Northern Producer FPF 500m zone in relation to Dons Field decommissioning works commencing 01 April 2022.
The workscope comprises of several ROV Construction Support Vessels (CSV) performing the seabed clearance of the risers, Mid Water Arch, Riser Base Structure and surface laid spoolpieces, pipelines and umbilicals up to the point of burial.
Initially an ROV Construction Support Vessel (CSV) will perform the recovery of the concrete protection mattresses from over the surface laid spoolpieces, pipelines and umbilicals and will perform the cuts on these items up to their point of burial at full trench depth or start of rockdump. This will be followed by an Anchor Handling Tug (AHT) which will recover the Flexible risers and the surface sections of the flowlines and umbilicals before releasing the Mid Water Arch (MWA) and floating it to the surface. The MWA will then be towed to Lerwick in the Shetland Isles for disposal.
Finally another CSV will be in field to perform the recovery of the MWA clump weights, Riser Base Structure, rigid spoolpiece and pipeline sections along with any remaining concrete protection mattresses and grout bags. The 500m zone will then be surveyed for debris, the debris will be recovered and a final 500m zone MBES clearance survey will be performed to confirm the 500m zone is clear of any oil field related debris and that no snag hazards remain. An over trawl survey will then be performed by the SFF to confirm there are no snag hazards before issuing a seabed clearance certificate and opening up the area to fishing activity.
All the vessels will be positioned within the ex Northern Producer FPF 500m Zone during these activities with the AHT also towing the MWA to Lerwick along a predetermined tow route.

NUI NavAid Installation - Brent Charlie
Commencing September 2022 - a new NUI (normally unmanned installation) NavAid system will be installed on the Brent Charlie Oil and Gas Installation. The system will be in operation from October 2022.
Brent Charlie is a manned production platform which served the Brent and Penguins reservoirs. The installation has now entered the Cessation of Production (CoP) phase and is due to down staff in late 2022. From October 2022 a NUI NavAid lighting system will be in operation, through to mid-2023. The specification of the system is as follows:-
Two off main white lanterns with a minimum range of 10NM to be mounted in the north-east and south-west corners of the platform. Both lanterns will be synchronised and exhibit flashing a Morse ‘U’ character every 15 seconds. A photocell shall be provided to ensure the lanterns operate within the required period of 15 minutes before sunset to sunrise and whenever visibility is below 2NM. Each lantern shall have a backup in case of failure of the main lantern. The main white lanterns shall have an IALA Category 1 availability factor (99.8%).
It is proposed that that the installation and subsequent commissioning of the new NUI NavAid lighting system will commence around the 2nd week of September 2022 and be completed by the 2nd week of October 2022. Once successful commissioning has been executed, it the existing lighting as detailed in the CtL permit (CL/110/6 V1) will be switched off permanently. This will effectively mean that only the NUI NavAid lighting will be in operation from October 2022 (install date) to the date of topsides lift (mid 2023). Should a fault occur with the new NUI NavAid lighting system, the existing system will be reenergised until such time as the new NUI NavAid is repaired and is back in service. The current foghorn capability as detailed in CL/110/6 V1 will be retained until down staff in December 2022 (current date). Foghorns will be switched off at down staff (there will be no power generation capability available after down staff).
Further notifications as required by CL/110/7 V2 will be submitted in due course.

Judy oil export tie in spool at NORPIPE wye - pipe exposure
Judy oil export tie in spool at NORPIPE wye - pipe exposure over ca 50m creating additional trawl hazard. Rock was removed from Judy oil export tie in spool at NORPIPE wye in mid 2022 in support of valve changeout at NORPIPE wye. Valve changeout has been delayed until 2025 at which point rock will be reinstated. Absence of rock poses an increased risk of snagging fishing nets and also of pipeline damage.

Dropped Mattress - Southwark
During spool mattress installation by the EDT Hercules at the 24” Southwark pipeline export spools at the Southwark Platform an installation strop choked around a loop on the installed mattress. This was only apparent when the frame was recovered to surface (in the safe over boarding area 30m clear of any subsea asset) and the mattress was still attached. 1 x mattress (L=6 x W=3 x H=0.15) It is planned to recover the mattress in circa October 2022 during the Seven Atlantic diving campaign.
The mattress and the frame was returned subsea in the safe over boarding area and the bound up loop on the mattress was cut to deposit the mat on the seabed and releasing the frame to be recovered back to deck. Consideration has been given to safe recovery of the mattress using the infield vessel and onboard ROV. However, it has been concluded that this can be achieved more safely during the next planned diving campaign in October. An as left survey of the mattress was completed by HD54 WROV.

New temporary precautionary areas.
Between 20.06.2022 and 15.08.2022, Equinor will conduct subsea construction work at the tie-in areas for the new oil export pipeline which will be installed between Gina Krog and Sleipner A. The affected areas are located east of Gina Krog and north of Sleipner A.
The new pipeline will be designed to be overtrawlable when in operation, but trawl / bottom fishing activities near these construction areas must be avoided during parts of the construction period. Equinor will therefore establish temporary precaution areas at these locations which will be surveilled to prevent damages to fishing equipment and subsea infrastructure.
The zones have a radius of 500 m with centre as given in the table below.

Seabed hazards following removal of Banff FPSO anchors & moorings
A series of deep, steep sided trenches at mooring line touchdown points and areas of disturbed seabed with clay boulders at the anchor locations, caused during recovery of the anchors. Moorings and anchors have been removed, leaving the seabed features.
10 mooring line trenches, varying in length from 70m to 180m; up to 8 metres wide and up to 9 metres deep. These trenches are steep-sided (in many cases vertical, cut into the clay seabed).
10 anchor scars, consisting of shallow trenches (20-90 metres long), shallow-sided depressions (less than 2 metres deep) but with areas of significantly disturbed seabed, including clay boulders up to 3 metres in size.

MetOcean Buoys - NEP Project
7 MetOcean buoys will be installed to monitor the local metocean conditions within the NEP carbon capture project area. Each location shall have a seabed frame with a navigation buoy on the surface.
The 7 units will have the following equipment:
Units 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7 - Seabed Frame with attached acoutstic release mechanism & surface navigation buoy within 150m of the seabed frame
Unit 2 - Seabed Frame with attached acoutstic release mechanism & surface navigation buoy within 150m of the seabed frame. This unti will also have a second surface buoy attached to the seabed frame to measure additional information.
It is advised to give 200m clearance to these units

NW Schooner Subsea Well - Missing Debris Cap
The Debris Cap for the NW Schooner subsea well has been identified as missing, leaving the wellhead more vulnerable to snagging on fishing nets. The Debris Cap is 4.5m x 3.9m x 1.4m and approx 3.5 tonnes, whilst the wellhead stands 6m off the seabed.
The approximate dimensions of the Debris Cap is 4.5m x 3.9m x 1.4m with a weight of approximately 3.5 tonnes. It is not known whether the Debris Cap is lying within a 500m zone of the well. A 200m x 200m area centred on the well has been searched, with no sight of it. Therefore the exact location of the Debris Cap is unknown. The loss of the Debris Cap leaves the NW Schooner wellhead more vulnerable to snagging from trawler/fishing nets. The approximate size of the tree with over trawl legs deployed is 7.8m x 7.8m x 6m high.

Fishing Hazard - Dons Fields Decommissioning Works
The Northern Producer FPF has been removed from it’s moorings and towed to port for decommissioning but the subsea assets within the Northern Producer FPF 500m zone will remain in place on the seabed and could pose a snag hazard to fishermen
The Northern Producer FPF has been removed from it’s moorings and towed to port for decommissioning but the subsea assets within the Northern Producer FPF 500m zone will remain in place on the seabed and could pose a snag hazard to fishermen therefore the Thistle Alpha Platform ERRV will act as a guard vessel until the 500m zone clearance is performed in 2022.
This includes the 8 No Risers draped over the Mid Water Arch (MWA), the MWA Clumpweight Guide Frame, the Riser Base Structure (RBS) and the surface laid pipelines / Umbilicals. The MWA will remain in the water column at a depth of 112m and will remain tethered to the seabed via the clumpweight guide frame. The risers will remain draped over the MWA with one end on the seabed and the other end will remain connected to the RBS so that they remain stable. The existing stabilisation mattresses will remain in place over the surface laid pipelines/umbilicals.

Application for Offshore Development Area - Seagull Umbilical
Neptune E&P UK Ltd would like to request to establish an additional offshore development area in Block 22/29C for the Seagull Umbilical location.
The Seagull Field is located on UK licence P1622 Block 22/29C. 17km south of the Eastern Trough area Project (ETAP) Central Production Facility (CPF). Neptune will develop the Seagull reservoir as a subsea tieâ€back to existing seabed infrastructure over the BP operated ETAP CPF. The development is high pressure and high temperature and Neptune is the Operator for the subsea development. Neptune will also drill and complete the Seagull Wells and shall retain overall Project responsibility.
The Seagull development will require installation of new subsea equipment as follows: Four Xmas Trees; a 4 slot manifold; a 17km control umbilical (including hydraulic, electrical and chemical supplies) direct from ETAP to Seagull; a 5km 10” production pipeline; a 5km 3.5” wash water pipeline from Seagull to the existing Egret manifold; and a Wye manifold adjacent to the existing Egret manifold, through which the new Seagull production pipeline will connect with the Heron cluster pipeline system connected back to the ETAP CPF. From ETAP CPF Seagull oil and gas will be exported to shore through the GAEL and FPS pipeline systems to the Kinneil Terminal onshore.
We already have an ODA established covering the Seagull drill centre and the Egret manifold and would like to request to extend the ODA to incorporate the entire Seagull works area. The extended Offshore development area will be required commencing from September 2021 †March 2023.
