Perenco UK Ltd has submitted a draft Topsides Decommissioning Programme for the Amethyst field platforms, in accordance with the provisions of the Petroleum Act 1998. It is a requirement of the Act that interested parties be consulted on such decommissioning proposals.

The facilities covered by the Topsides Decommissioning Programme for the Amethyst field installations A1D, A2D, B1D and C1D are:

• Topsides - a conventional carbon steel structure, which includes a cellar deck, main deck, and helideck (and vent boom tied into both the cellar and main deck applicable only to A1D and A2D).

The Amethyst field is centred on Block 47/14a, extending into Blocks 47/13a, 47/9a and 47/15a in the Southern North Sea, approximately 40km due east of the Humber Estuary and the Easington Terminal on the Yorkshire coast.
