CUT have successfully completed a decommissioning scope offshore Western Australia, cutting the 214.5” (5450mm) Disconnectable Single Point Mooring (DSPM), aka the riser buoy, using our 240” machine, deployed vertically. The target consisted of
- 15mm WT outer shell
- Shell stiffeners
- Internal bulkheads
- Mooring tubes (6)
- Cable tubes (12)
- Clump weight tube
- Gas lift riser tubes (3)
- Umbilical tubes (3)
- Production riser tubes (3)
CUT performed a thorough cutting analysis, resulting in a great success. The cut was completed first time, safely and achieved in 16hrs 30mins, which was considerably quicker than expected.
