U.S. offshore engineering and construction player McDermott has been tasked with a strategic role in offshore asset retirement, which is being undertaken by Qatar’s state-owned oil and gas giant QatarEnergy. This is described as the Persian Gulf state’s first major offshore decommissioning project.

AF Offshore Decom (AFOD), a subsidiary of AF Gruppen, has landed a new decommissioning project on the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS) with Ithaca Energy, a North Sea oil and gas operator and producer.
