Decommissioning

 
 

Within the next 30 years, hundreds of platforms will be scheduled for decommissioning. Ramboll offers expert consultancy services that cover all aspects of decommissioning, including planning and engineering, risk and safety, management, and the environment.

Several decommissioning scenarios

According to current Oslo-Paris Commission (OSPAR) regulations, several decommissioning scenarios – from complete or partial removal to complete or partial leave-in – are available. Ramboll has vast experience in supplying all these solutions.

Ramboll offers expert consultancy services that cover all aspects of decommissioning, including planning and engineering, risk and safety, management, and the environment.

Our decommissioning expertise includes:

  • Decommissioning planning
  • Decommissioning process management
  • Engineering
  • Health, Safety and the Environment (HSE)
  • Regulations and authorisation
  • Environmental assessments
  • Risk and safety, Qualitative Risk Analysis (QRA)
  • As-left assessment (remediation, water cleaning, structural assessment etc.)

Mitigation, remediation and leave-in successes

Ramboll has had a hand in many important decommissioning projects. We conducted remediation studies for Shell on the platforms Brent Bravo/Delta.

For ConocoPhillips, we undertook environmental studies for decommissioning the Ekofisk tank. We also evaluated the mitigation alternatives and assisted in the design of:

  • Leave-in commissioning solution in which all topside structures were removed
  • Tank cleaning (oil and water)
  • Control measures (monitoring, modelling and engineering solutions)
