Offshore decommissioning facilities typically follow the reversal of installation procedure however can be very complex problems due to various factors associated with age, operational limitations, available tools, environmental limitations, regulation aspects etc. We provide engineering assistance to clients to safely carryout offshore decommissioning operations efficiently by minimizing risks. Various types of pre-service analysis requirements are normally applicable for decommissioning projects also.
Not exactly. Offshore decommissioning typically follows the reversal of the installation procedure, but Aries Energy notes that these projects can become complex due to factors such as the asset's age, operational limitations, available tools, environmental limitations, and regulatory aspects. This means a decommissioning plan often needs to depart from the original installation sequence rather than simply reverse it step by step.
Aries Energy identifies several factors that can add complexity to an offshore decommissioning project, including the asset's age, operational limitations, available tools, environmental limitations, and regulatory requirements. Each of these can require the decommissioning sequence to be adapted from a straightforward reversal of the original installation, which is why engineering assistance is applied to the process.
Yes. Various types of pre-service analysis requirements that apply to installation projects are also normally applicable to decommissioning projects at Aries Energy. This means techniques developed for assessing lifting, transportation, and other pre-installation loading conditions can be adapted to assess the reverse operations involved in removing an offshore asset.
Yes. Asset age is one of the factors Aries Energy identifies as adding complexity to offshore decommissioning projects, alongside operational limitations, available tools, environmental limitations, and regulatory aspects. An older asset may not have documentation or components in the same condition assumed during original installation, which is part of why decommissioning isn't always a simple reversal.
