Aberdeen-based Well-Safe Solutions has been awarded a contract to decommission up to 21 wells in the Schooner and Ketch fields on the UK Continental Shelf, operated by DNO North Sea (ROGB) Ltd (www.wellsafesolutions.com).

These fields in the UK Southern North Sea ceased production in August 2018, with 20 platform wells and a single sub-sea well.

The project will start immediately and is expected to last about two years.

Well-Safe will be responsible for the delivery of key aspects of the project, including engineering, contractor management and logistics.

The contract award follows the recent announcement of Well-Safe’s acquisition of its first semi-submersible vessel.
