Early in June 2015, NorSea Group (UK) Ltd confirmed that it had won northeast Scotland's first major small-piece decommissioning contract. Work has already begun on the six-month project, which is being carried out at NorSea Group's Peterhead facility on behalf of Endeavour Energy. It involves safe disposal of subsea manifolds and associated pipework from the Renee and Rubie fields. All of the materials from the fields, which lie 200km northeast of Aberdeen, are being delivered to Smith Quay, which is operated by NorSea Group. An important element of the £500,000 contract was the requirement that reuse of returned material be maximised and that NorSea Group will achieve a 100 per cent recycling rate.
