Shell has contracted Norwegian accommodation vessel operator Prosafe's Regalia unit to support work on the Brent C platform in the UK sector of the North Sea.

Brent C is one of four platforms on the Brent field which Shell is working towards decommissioning. The facilities are about 186km east of the Shetland Islands in the northern North Sea. The Brent fields started production in 1976 and some 4 billion boe has been produced.

Brent D is being decommissioned first, with plans to remove the 23,500-tonne topsides in a single lift using Allseas Pioneering Spirit, in 2015-2016. 

The contract will run from Q2 2016 and will be worth about US$24 million and follow's Regalia's recent stint working alongside Shell's Shearwater platform.
