Aberdeen-based well management specialist, Exceed, has secured a contract to support Fairfield Energy in its upcoming North Sea well plugging and abandonment campaign.

Fairfield’s program includes 45 platform wells and 16 subsea wells, all of which will be plugged and permanently abandoned.

The decommissioning of platform wells is expected to begin in the next few months, with the operational phase of subsea well work due to begin in 2017.

Exceed commercial director, John Anderson, said: “This award demonstrates the capacity of Exceed as a multi-disciplined well management organization capable of providing support to complex well decommissioning activities.

“This will be a major focus going forward, both in the UKCS and internationally, and Exceed is delighted to be supporting Fairfield in one of the largest single UKCS well abandonment campaigns of this nature to date.”
