Imho I'd be amazed if it returned to the North Sea in any shape or form. The only industry people I've spoken to who think it should and could come back seem to be 99% Airbus personnel or the odd die hard 225 pilot. The loss of confidence in the 225 in the offshore workers is a done thing, it's happened and it ain't coming back. I get that the 225 was a very capable aircraft and better in some ways than the S92, but the confidence has gone. Etched forever in the brain when you think of the 225 is that horrible shot of the windmilling rotor head falling down to the ground. It's finished guys.
