Decommissioning specialists Well-Safe Solutions has secured more work for Eni across its assets in the Dutch sector of the North Sea.
The Italian energy major has recently exercised another 90-day option for the Well-Safe Protector jackup under a newly agreed contract amendment. The work on subsea and platform wells is to be executed in direct continuation with the previously declared option, which started last November.
Further longer-term options have also been agreed with Eni, giving the operator an additional 120 days of work to decommission platform wells, along with two further options at 180 days each.
After completing this latest option with Eni, the jackup will move directly onto the Spirit Energy contract Splash reported in November. The unit has already decommissioned 25 wells across Dutch and UK waters since August 2023 for Eni, Ithaca Energy and Neptune Energy.
Additional options with Eni could start immediately after the Spirit Energy work, and if all of them are exercised, the Well-Safe Protector could stay committed until Q4 2026 outside the UK Continental Shelf.
