Project Overview

Decom Engineering played a pivotal role in Shell's decommissioning at the Brent Field. The C1-46, developed and deployed in under 6 months, completed 79 cuts on its first deployment with a 99.05% success rate. Average cut times of 47 minutes (some as quick as 20 minutes) and 15 cuts per blade. Innovative clamp modifications reduced seabed dredging time from 3.5 hours to just 30 minutes.
