Kent Strengthens its Decommissioning Portfolio with New Commonwealth Government of Australia Contract

Kent, a global leader in integrated energy services, has been awarded a new technical advisory services contract by the Australian Government to support the permanent plugging and abandonment of the Laminaria-Corallina oil fields in the Timor Sea. The contract also includes advisory services for the safe removal of associated subsea infrastructure.

Building on its existing work on the Northern Endeavour Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) facility, this award underscores Kent’s position as a trusted decommissioning partner with a deep commitment to regulatory compliance, environmental stewardship, and technical excellence.

Under the initial two-year contract, Kent will deploy a multidisciplinary team of technical and regulatory experts to provide strategic and operational support throughout the planning and execution of the decommissioning phase.

“This contract is a testament to the trust the Australian Government has placed in Kent’s decommissioning expertise,”

said Michael Costello, Executive Vice President - Development, APAC & Americas at Kent,

“We are proud to continue supporting the safe and responsible transition of offshore assets, prioritising environmental outcomes and technical integrity at every stage. Our advisory team, with deep roots in Australia and the UK, is energised by this opportunity to help shape the future of offshore decommissioning.”

This latest contract reflects Kent’s expanding footprint in Asia Pacific and its proven track record in complex offshore decommissioning projects.
