The Society for Underwater Technology invite you to the:

OSIGp Geo-Insights & Field Experiences on Offshore Subsea Decommissioning

The evening will focus on the following three topics:

1. External dredging of jacket platforms in preparation for decommissioning

   Ercan Kökden, Senior Geotechnical Engineer / Field Engineer, Allseas

   During the recent decommissioning of jacket platform structures in the North Sea, Allseas designed and operated its own pile dredging spread. This presentation presents challenges and outcomes encountered during the development and first commercial use of the pile dredging spread.

2. Subsurface Information for Well Abandonment

   Sheila Mackay, Principal Geophysicist (Geohazards) | GeoScience, Woodside

   Once a well has fulfilled its purpose, be that exploration, appraisal or development it needs to be permanently abandoned. Barriers are designed such that individual pressure compartments in the subsurface are isolated from each other and seabed. The subsurface information required to identify the pressure compartments requires numerous datasets and a multi-disciplined team. This talk discusses the workflow implemented by subsurface specialists at Woodside Energy when planning the permanent abandonment of wells.

3. Some Geotechnical Considerations for Decommissioning Offshore Infrastructure

   Prof. Susan Gourvenec, Professor of Offshore Geotechnical Engineering, University of Southampton

   This presentation will explore some geotechnical considerations for decommissioning offshore infrastructure considering both retrieval and in situ decommissioning. Research outcomes of the changing properties of the seabed over the life of the structure, and the impact on recovery loads or the in-place stability of infrastructure that is decommissioned in situ will be presented.
