As offshore installations in mature oil and gas fields reach the end of their useful lives, safely decommissioning aging assets is becoming an increasingly important focus for energy producers.
Worley is supporting Allseas with a range of decommissioning engineering, procurement and construction services for Allseas DP3 and DP4 project in the eastern Irish Sea. This includes engineering preparations to safely remove two of Spirit Energys 11,000-tonne platforms, DP3 and DP4, at Morecambe Bay.
Worley has been supporting Allseas, a world-renowned offshore contractor, since early 2020. This includes engineering preparations to safely remove two of Spirit Energys 11,000-tonne platforms, DP3 and DP4, at Morecambe Bay.

Allseas giant heavy lift vessel Pioneering Spirit will remove the DP3 and DP4 platforms in Morecambe Bay off the U.K. for independent oil and gas operator Spirit Energy.
The two normally unmanned installations used to produce gas as part of Spirit Energy’s complex of eight installations in Morecambe Bay. As the field has matured, the reserves the platforms previously tapped into have been produced by the larger, manned Central Morecambe platform nearby.
The 12 wells that were connected to the DP3 and DP4 platforms have been plugged and abandoned – using a slant rig to accommodate the angle at which the wells were drilled in the 1980s to access the gas reservoir below the seabed – and the platforms will soon be safe to be lifted and taken back to shore.
