The scope includes the removal, transport, and offloading of the topside, comprising the Flare and Kinnoull Module, and the four-legged steel jacket with 12 skirt piles. This follows the successful removal of the Andrew Drilling Equipment Set (DES) in 2024, also executed by Heerema Marine Contractors.
The company will carry out the project with a strong emphasis on safety, sustainability, and operational excellence, drawing on its extensive experience in complex offshore decommissioning campaigns.
“We’re proud to play a key role in bp’s decommissioning project,” said Jeroen van Oosten, Heerema Marine Contractors’ Chief Commercial Officer. “Last year’s removal of bp’s Andrew DES module was executed smoothly. The award to decommission the Andrew platform reflects our continued commitment to removing offshore infrastructure in a safe and responsible manner.”
