Perenco UK Limited has submitted, for the consideration of the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, a draft Decommissioning Programme for the Tyne Gas Field Normally Unattended Installation (NUI) 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 items/facilities covered by the Decommissioning Programme are:

• Tyne topside - a conventional carbon steel structure, including a cellar deck, mezzanine deck, weather deck, and helideck. Nine well slots of which five have been drilled.
• Tyne jacket - a conventional four-legged carbon steel structure, 37.4m in height in 17.5m (reference to LAT) of water. Singular 48" tubular pile of approximately 51m overall length is installed through the pile sleeve attached to each leg (4 piles in total).
• Tyne subsea template – a carbon steel structure located directly beneath the Tyne Jacket on the seabed. Subsea template is separate to the jacket.

The Tyne field is located in block 44/18a in the Southern Basin of the United Kingdom Continental Shelf (UKCS), approximately 188km off the coast of Norfolk and 184km off East Yorkshire.
