Chet Morrison Contractors, LLC (Morrison) was recently awarded the crucial pipeline decommissioning contract, which marked a pivotal step in addressing the longstanding issue of orphaned infrastructure in the Gulf of Mexico.
With particular focus on eight pipelines in the Matagorda Island Area, the contract which was issued by the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE), will allow Morrison to conduct essential on-site pipeline decommissioning activities in the region.
Abandoned infrastructure often pose a threat to offshore safety and the environment. Decommissioning orphaned pipelines will therefore contribute to the long-term health of the Gulf ecosystem and open up areas for safer navigation and commercial activities.
“Morrison values its long-standing relationship with BSEE and appreciates their continued confidence in our team to deliver on this important decommissioning initiative,” said Chet Morrison, CEO and founder of Morrison. “BSEE recognises that Morrison is more than qualified to handle a scope of this magnitude. We will utilise our experienced people, our versatile fleet of barges and equipment, and the smart approach that we’ve become known for over the years.”
