According to Atkins, the deal is applicable to any fields to be decommissioned in the UK or Netherlands during the contract period, as decided by Centrica.

"As more oil and gas infrastructure begins to reach the end of its design life, multi-industry expertise and decommissioning experience has become important for Atkins in winning work."

Atkins oil and gas business managing director Alex Campbell said: "We are looking forward to building on our existing relationship with Centrica and continuing our partnership providing structural and subsea integrity services for their offshore assets.

As part of its decommissioning work with Atkins, Centrica aims to focus on completing the job in a safe and environmentally responsible way.

Separately, Centrica Energy has awarded a contract to Offshore Installation Services (OIS), a unit of Acteon to decommission multiple wells in the North Sea.

As per the initial plan OIC will decommission six subsea wells in the central North Sea and they will be decommissioned through a diverless, vessel-based approach.

The work will be carried through an anchor-handling tug supply vessel (AHTS), the Island Valiant.
