The integrated package of subsea decommissioning services span oil and gas regions
Decom Engineering has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with subsea technologies and engineering specialist, Unique Group. The companies will combine their resources and expertise to jointly provide an integrated package of subsea decommissioning services across oil and gas regions, including the Middle East and APAC
With a logistical backbone to support complex offshore campaigns, Unique Group will provide subsea engineering expertise, project management, and offshore operational support, aligning with Decom’s proprietary Chopsaw cutting, tooling, and technical expertise in decommissioning.
The MoU provides Decom with equipment storage space at Unique Group’s global facilities, ensuring assets are positioned for quicker deployment to client projects. In addition to supporting engineering design and operational planning, Decom will collaborate on training and knowledge transfer initiatives.
Nick McNally, Decom Engineering managing director, said, “The MoU allows us to jointly provide a full decommissioning workstream across subsea cutting, recovery operations, engineering support, operational planning, personnel deployment, and equipment sharing. From a commercial standpoint, operators increasingly expect a turnkey model, a single point of accountability, and this partnership is designed to meet that demand without compromising our respective reputations for high-level delivery on complex projects. For operators facing tightening budgets, ageing subsea assets, and increasing regulatory attention, including tighter emissions-reduction commitments, an integrated solution like this could prove highly appealing.”
Ross Anderson, regional manager, Decommissioning, at Unique Group, said, “This agreement represents a strong strategic alignment between two organisations with highly complementary capabilities. By combining Unique Group’s global subsea engineering and offshore execution expertise, now further enhanced by our recent major investment in subsea decommissioning tooling, controlled Mass Flow Excavation systems, and back‑deck equipment, with Decom Engineering’s specialist cutting and removal technologies, we are positioned to deliver integrated, high‑performance decommissioning solutions that are tailored to our clients’ exact requirements.”
