DSM Demolition is going to investigate potential of Lyness as a base for North Sea oil and gas decommissioning work. Lyness is located on the east coast of the island of Hoy, Orkney, Scotland.
The project is at an early stage in its development, but DSM believes that Lyness has the capacity to provide a base for their activities in northern Scotland, and that the broad base of skills and resources available locally are of great interest to this project. The company will now carry out further exploratory work. During this period, the company will engage with the Orkney Island Council, local businesses, and the Hoy and wider Orkney community as it develops its proposals.
It will also engage with the oil and gas sector to determine potential business for a new facility and undertake the environmental assessment and feasibility testing processes, which are essential to ensuring the sustainability of development of this type.
