Njord Survey assessing seabed conditions at three decommissioned North Sea gas fields
Njord Survey will assess seabed and environmental conditions at Energean UK’s Wenlock, Garrow and Kilmar fields after platform and exposed subsea infrastructure removal.
Njord Survey has been selected to carry out post-decommissioning seabed and environmental surveys across the Wenlock, Garrow and Kilmar fields in the UK Southern North Sea.
The program will examine the condition of the seabed after the platforms and exposed subsea infrastructure have been removed.
Results will be compared with conclusions from the pre-decommissioning surveys and will form part of the decommissioning close-out reporting for all three fields.
Njord Survey will conduct seabed and environmental survey work along the pipeline routes and around the former platform locations.
This will include multibeam echosounder and side scan sonar surveys, environmental sampling, analysis and reporting, video transects and still photos
Garrow and Kilmar as well as their pipelines are within a region known for the presence of harbour porpoises (the Southern North Sea Special Area of Conservation).
