Service provider DeepOcean will support the decommissioning of subsea infrastructure at Western Australian oil and gas fields.
The scope of work includes suspension of subsea trees, removal of flowlines, riser and dynamic umbilical, and removal of a disconnectable turret mooring buoy (DTM). The work is scheduled to begin next year and will be performed form one of the company’s regional vessels.
The fields are located off the coast of Western Australia in depths of 300-400 metres.
Colin McGinnis, Managing Director of DeepOcean’s Asia Pacific operations, said, “We are honoured that DeepOcean has been entrusted with the delivery of this significant project. It builds on our extensive regional and international experience in decommissioning and reinforces our long-term commitment to supporting the energy sector in Australia.
“DeepOcean is already one of the market leaders within subsea decommissioning in the mature North Sea region. This project demonstrates that we are already managing to combine local Shelf Subsea expertise with our North Sea decommissioning competence. The end-beneficiary is our clients in the region.”
