DNO North Sea (ROGB) Ltd., a unit of DNO ASA, hired Well-Safe Solutions to decommission up to 21 UK Continental Shelf wells in Schooner and Ketch fields, which DNO acquired in 2018 from Faroe Petroleum. The North Sea fields stopped producing in August 2018.

Well-Safe said it would start decommissioning the wells in late 2019. The work, involving 20 platform wells and one subsea well, is expected to take 2 years. Well-Safe will handle engineering contractor management and logistics with DNO retaining well operatorship.

Recently Well-Safe acquired its first semisubmersible drilling rig, the Well-Safe Guardian, to be used for plugging and abandoning activities.
