As offshore platforms reach the end of their operational life, decommissioning becomes a critical process. It involves the safe removal and disposal of platform components while minimizing environmental impact.
What is Decommissioning Engineering?
Decommissioning engineering involves planning and executing the safe removal of offshore platforms, including topsides, jackets, and subsea structures. It requires meticulous planning, advanced engineering, and compliance with regulatory standards.
Key Steps in Decommissioning:
Lift Planning:
Separate lift plans for topsides and jackets.
Crane selection, sling design, and dynamic amplification analysis.
Probabilistic CoG variations and skew effects evaluation.
Transportation Planning:
Safe placement of topsides and jackets on barges.
Sea fastener and grillage design for secure transportation.
Route-specific sea transportation analysis.
Environmental Compliance:
Ensuring minimal environmental impact during decommissioning.
Safe disposal or recycling of platform components.
