Regulatory News:
Veolia UK (Paris:VIE) and its partner Peterson have been
awarded two platform decommissioning contracts for recycling at
their facility in Great Yarmouth, England. With an aim of reaching
96% recycling rates the work to recycle materials and assets is
expected to begin in spring 2017 when the platforms arrive
onshore.
The contracts include the onshore receipt and disposal of
offshore materials and several assets for a major gas producer. The
work will cover disposal options for a number of production complex
platforms, and surrounding satellite platforms, located around 40
miles off the coast of Great Yarmouth. Recycling is expected to
start this year and will take around four years to complete.
Recovering these platforms at the end of their operational life
is essential. Now using Veolia-Peterson’s new facility, the
valuable materials that they contain can be carefully captured and
returned to industry for re-use, and where possible assets that
have further operational life can be sold. This, in turn, helps
boost the sustainability of the industry and becomes part of the
circular economy.
Simon Davies, Decommissioning General Manager of Veolia UK &
Ireland said: “The industry has been looking for collaboration and
these new contracts show collaboration in action right down the
supply chain. Our partnership has worked well at a number of sites
and projects over the last ten years, and we are very pleased to
secure the first important contracts into Great Yarmouth.”
Ron van der Laan, Regional Director, Peterson added: “We have
been working hard on this development since 2013. These contract
awards are a significant milestone and step towards establishing
Great Yarmouth as a centre of excellence for decommissioning in the
Southern North Sea”.
Veolia and Peterson joined forces and have provided onshore
decommissioning services for over 10 years. Set up to cover the
full decommissioning of platforms the services include
decontamination, deconstruction, waste management and environmental
services together with associated integrated logistics, marine and
quayside services. To date the joint venture has recovered over
80,000 tonnes of offshore materials and achieved ‘excellent’
environmental assessment ratings in the process.
Developed as part of the partnership between Peterson and
Veolia, and supported by local authorities, the new decommissioning
site at Great Yarmouth Outer Harbour has been selected to receive
the structures. The new works will help create approximately 10 new
jobs, with further development and employment as the projects
develop.
