(WO) — Hornbeck Offshore Services has secured a multi-year North Sea contract for riserless plug-and-abandonment (P&A) operations through its Helix Well Ops (U.K.) subsidiary.
The contract, awarded by an undisclosed North Sea operator, is scheduled to begin in second-quarter 2027. It has a firm two-year term with options for the customer to extend the work.
Hornbeck will conduct the P&A operations using either the Well Enhancer or Seawell, both purpose-built riserless well intervention vessels.
The integrated scope also includes a Subsea Intervention Lubricator well-access system, remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), saturation diving, and project management and engineering services.
“This new multi-year award builds directly on Hornbeck’s previous success and strengthens our expertise in delivering safe, efficient, rigless decommissioning solutions in the North Sea,” said Todd M. Hornbeck, president and CEO.
The company did not disclose the value of the contract or identify the operator.
