Decommissioning the Brent Field

Поделиться

  • Опубликовано: 5 июл 2016
  • The Brent oil and gas field, lying north-east of the Shetland Islands, has been a cornerstone of the UK’s hugely successful oil and gas industry for 40 years. It has created and sustained thousands of jobs, contributed billions of pounds in tax revenues, and provided the UK with a substantial amount of its oil and gas.
    Now, after many years of service to the UK, the Brent field is reaching the stage where almost all the available reserves of oil and gas have been retrieved. The next step in the lifecycle is to retire or ‘decommission’ the Brent field’s four platforms and their related infrastructure. This will be a complex, major engineering project and will take over ten years to complete.

    Problem for decommissioning completly the concrete gravity part.
    1) Under bottom of the platform there are Skirt penetrations!
    2) Concrete with synthetic additive were injected betwind see bed and bottom of plateform (Graouting).
    3) To flush the oil on top of cells doesn't look difficult. Just install a B.O.P On top of each cell and, drill through and pump.

    Worked on all of those Brent platforms including the Long Term Field development in an engineering capacity and was sad to see how they tried to just sink the BRENT SPAR to just save money, originally all companies had to remove all equipment above the sea bed in the end of their productive life (costing millions) but of course a test case occurred with the Brent Spar after it had to be de-commissioned and if it was not for demonstrators who got involved and even managed to get aboard the Brent Spar things would have been much different, more pollution and millions saved by the oil companies

    Use your tongs if YOU are lost in anything you do. On kick you are going to control well by bypassying high pressure flow with torque made structures like for example your Kelly. Tripping in out or laying down pipe collars with BHA .Remember to use all these tactics when building structure and use them all for the highest pressure because they will not stay in pit and basically eat smaller micros and flees with his jaws as he closes them like a 1000ft. lenghth of a crocodile.
