Decommissioning
DeepOcean has entered into an agreement to support bp in the decommissioning and recycling of subsea equipment at the operator’s Foinaven field, West of Shetland, UK.
Under the contract, DeepOcean will remove ten flexible process risers and three dynamic subsea umbilicals from the former Foinaven FPSO (Floating Production, Storage, and Offloading) location. In addition, DeepOcean will recover a static umbilical. Various amounts of buoyancy, riser protection, clamps, and other appurtenances associated with each riser will also be removed during recovery operations.
DeepOcean will provide engineering, project management and offshore execution for the project that will be managed and executed by DeepOcean’s Aberdeen-based operations in the UK. The offshore scope will be carried out using a high-specification subsea construction vessel operated by DeepOcean.
