Throughout each of the main project stages, the associated activities have been planned in consultation with relevant stakeholders. These stakeholders have included industry regulators, other users of the marine environment and the communities in which we operate. The consultations that were initiated in 2010 for specific aspects of the proposed decommissioning programme have been the backdrop for a collaborative process to determine the most appropriate solutions for the decommissioning challenges that balance considerations for the environment, safety, technical feasibility, and socio-economic impact. The aim has been to ensure that the decommissioning of the Greater Dunlin Area is concluded with a responsible legacy to both the environment and society as the reliance on alternative energy resources becomes more prominent. The project objective in terms of scope has been the safe and cost-effective execution of activities in full compliance with the approved Decommissioning Programmes. 45 Wells P&A Plug and abandonment of the 45 Dunlin Alpha platform wells. 16 Subsea P&A Plug and abandonment of the 16 Osprey and Merlin subsea wells.
