In need of a professional decommissioning service?
Thompsons of Prudhoe have an incredible and rich history dating back to 1948 and have a wealth of experience when it comes to providing decommissioning solutions. Oil & Gas structures that have reached the end of their operational life must be safely decommissioned, dismantled and recycled in the most environmentally friendly manner.
In order to meet this incredibly challenging task, Thompsons of Prudhoe have established a partnership with the Port of Blyth to create a safe and effective onshore dismantling and waste disposal decommissioning service.
In accordance with the Thompsons policy, we shall endeavour to recycle as much of the materials that arises from our services as possible, often achieving in excess of 97%+. Our commitment to this can be demonstrated through our Integrated Management System, certified to ISO 14001 (Environment) and ISO 50001 (Energy).
Thompsons of Prudhoe are proud to have announced a new partnership with the Port of Blyth that will enhance the UK onshore decommissioning capability.
A joint investment of up to £1m will be used to enhance and develop the existing facilities to create an initial 1hectare decommissioning site with further development opportunity increasing to 2.3hectares.
Expansion works are commencing immediately with the existing facility remaining open for business throughout.
Our 2.3 Hectare site at Battleship Wharf Terminal is available for all onshore decommissioning projects. The site includes impermeable surfaces, interceptors, water recycling, bunded quarantine areas and covered storage and is situated 100m from berth 4 with 50m wide access route from quay to set down area.
Thompsons of Prudhoe can provide assets for onshore decommissioning of offshore oil and gas structures as well other oil and gas equipment for both onshore and offshore use such as topsides, jackets and structures.
This state of the art Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM) facility, located at our site in the Port of Blyth, provides an onshore turnkey solution to our customers based in oil and gas facilities across and in the North Sea.
At our NORM facility in Blyth, offshore oil and gas materials don’t need to be sent off for cleaning as they can be done onsite at our onshore facility. This removes the need for materials to be transported to other facilities across the country, which both saves transportation costs for customers and reduces our carbon emission levels.
