Project Overview

In March 2023, Decom Engineering undertook a significant decommissioning project for Claxton/Intermoor on behalf of Chevron in the Gulf of Thailand. The project involved removal of 10" CWC and 16" pipelines at 60-70m depth. Over 300 cuts were achieved across two three-month scopes, with cycle times for 24-metre cut spacings consistently under 30 minutes.

Key Highlights

  • 300+ cuts across two three-month scopes
  • Cycle times under 30 minutes for 24m cut spacings
  • Effective cutting of partially and fully buried pipelines
