The decommissioning sector’s largest industry event, Decom North Sea (16-20 May) welcomes a host of international speakers who provide insight in to the latest trends and developments in this $8 billion industry.
Calling on Decom Engineering’s experience of working on global decommissioning projects, Nick will outline best practice, supply chain innovation and advancement, new models and techniques.
Nick said: “Over the next 10 years it is estimated that 7,500 km of oil and gas pipelines in UK and Norwegian waters will require to be decommissioned, meaning if it can’t be repurposed in-situ, it must be removed from the seabed.
“Innovative thinking and emerging technologies are making it increasingly realistic that North Sea oil and gas infrastructure, which has helped keep UK lights on for the last 50 years, could be put to use in generating or storing green energies, including wind, hydrogen Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), solar and tidal technologies.
“It seems ethically and economically sensible to make the most of that existing infrastructure to push forward on energy transition goals, but even with the sector’s best brains engaged in determining the optimal use for end-of-life pipelines, it’s estimated there will still be more than 500,000 tonnes of pipelines which will have to be removed from the seabed.”
Decom’s range of subsea saws can cut materials between 2-24” and have been deployed on global decommissioning projects involving the removal of seabed infrastructure in some of the world’s most difficult environments. The company’s Pipe Coating Removal technologies can then be used to strip the pipe (4-72” and 6-24m length) to achieve a clean pipe surface, which can be NDT-tested prior to be reused in range of infrastructure and construction projects.
Nick added: “Our dual purpose solution to repurposing redundant oil and gas infrastructure not only unlocks potentially millions of pounds of untapped revenues for the asset owners, but helps reduce the carbon footprint of both the pipe owners and the end users in the construction sector.
“We need to think creatively about what we do with redundant oil and gas pipelines. There are some fantastic developments underway in repurposing North Sea infrastructure to produce and store emerging green energies such as hydrogen and CCS, but not all of this 7,500km of pipelines will be suitable. We think Decom Engineering’s solutions not only return value to Operators which would otherwise be lost, but is an environmentally friendly method of tackling the great decommissioning issue while contributing to net-zero carbon targets.”
