BP entrusts subsea decom and recycling job at UK field to DeepOcean
What happened
BP awarded DeepOcean a subsea decommissioning and recycling package covering removal of flexible process risers, a static umbilical and riser protection hardware. The offshore work will use a high‑spec subsea construction vessel and be managed from DeepOcean’s Aberdeen operations, making mobilization and specialist handling a practical procurement constraint. Watch whether recycling and disposal responsibilities or provisional‑hold requests get passed into buyer contracts
Why the category manager should care
Treat this as a real, executable campaign: bundled decom scopes are operationally complex and create potential pass‑through and mobilisation risks that need contract controls
Key facts
- Removal work includes multiple flexible risers and a static umbilical
- Offshore execution via a high‑spec subsea construction vessel
- Project managed from DeepOcean’s Aberdeen operations
