Proserv wins GoM decommissioning contract
Offshore staff
ABERDEEN, UK -- Proserv's Abandonment and Decommissioning strategic business unit (SBU), has been awarded a $7 million contract for platform decommissioning projects in the Gulf of Mexico. The contract involves the abandonment of two platforms along with associated wells, plus the removal of pipelines and subsea tie-ins for a major independent oil and gas company.
The Gulf of Mexico contracts are due to take place concurrently in both the Ship Shoal and High Island blocks, where water depths are 37 ft (11 m) and 194 ft (59 m) respectively.
Proserv will provide full marine management of the project. This includes simultaneously mobilizing liftboats, the well abandonment personnel, and the required equipment to carry out the project.
The company will use a 1,300-ton (1,179-metric ton) derrick barge, diving crew, and dive support vessel for the removal of the platforms and for the abandonment of the pipeline and associated subsea tie-in.
Once all the removal and abandonment works are complete, the project will be concluded with a site clearance program.
