Asset Late Life Services & Management

At N-ERGISE, we specialise in delivering Asset Late Life Services & Management Globally, helping operators extend asset life or prepare for safe decommissioning. Safe, cost-effective late life operations during normal production—reducing downtime, cutting campaign costs and accelerating decommissioning readiness.

Late Life Services That Protect Schedule, Cost & Safety

Whether you are preparing for an asset to be decommissioned in t hellohe near future or aiming to extend its operational life, N-ERGISE delivers late life services on live installations under normal operating conditions. Starting these activities early helps to reduce long-term maintenance, inspection and engineering costs, while streamlining your future decom timeline.Our multi-disciplined teams can steadily complete asset simplification, deconstruction and weight-shedding operations in advance—significantly cutting the time a costly accommodation vessel needs to be alongside during a barge campaign.

Our Delivery Approach

Live-plant execution: robust PTW, isolations and SIMOPS controls
Multi-discipline teams: mechanical, electrical, fabrication, rigging & lifting
Documentation: workpacks, risk assessments, lift plans and as-built records
Logistics & materials: pre-kitted packs to minimise POB and vessel days

HSE & Compliance

Safety is non-negotiable. Our management system is aligned to ISO 45001:2018 and we operate to applicable UK/EU standards and best practice (e.g. LOLER, PUWER and DROPS principles).

Benefits of Early Late Life Intervention

Lower total cost: reduced maintenance/inspection burden ahead of decom
Fewer vessel days: less time with accommodation/barge alongside
Schedule certainty: simplified assets enable faster lift & removal
Risk reduction: fewer SIMOPS conflicts during major campaigns

Where We Operate

UKCS & North Sea, North-West Europe and project-led deployments across wider Europe—onshore and offshore.

Late Life Services – FAQs

Can work be completed during normal operations?

Yes. We plan and execute under live-plant conditions with rigorous controls, minimising disruption to production.

When should we start late life activities?

As early as practical. Early simplification and weight-shedding reduce future maintenance costs and shorten decom campaigns.

Do you provide lifting aid inspection and installation?

Yes. We survey, certify and install lifting points and aids to de-risk heavy lifts during decommissioning.
