Hess Limited has submitted - for the consideration of the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change - a draft Decommissioning Programme for the Ivanhoe, Rob Roy and Hamish (IVRR) Fields, in accordance with the provisions of the Petroleum Act 1998. It is a requirement of the Act that interested parties be consulted on such decommissioning proposals.

The IVRR Fields collectively comprise a number of wells, surface-laid and buried flowlines and protective structures, such as mattresses and a number of seabed structures.
