LANCASHIRE, England — James Fisher Decommissioning has extended its contract with a major offshore engineering, preparations, removal and disposal operator.
The multimillion-pound offshore decommissioning project utilized real-time cutting verification technology to remove 25 dormant gas platforms in support of the client’s wider asset end-of-life campaign.
During jacket removal, the visualization of each abrasive cut made using James Fisher’s cut verification system ensured operations were completed successfully on the first attempt and without the need to reevaluate the initial cut. The company said this saved project time and reduced cutting times by 50%.
“This type of operation was a first for James Fisher Decommissioning in terms of jacket removal volume and duration," said Mark Stephen, decommissioning director with James Fisher.
