NEWS

The DSG meets every two months or so and has a series of well established WorkGroups addressing specific opportunities and challenges, including :-WG1 – CommercialWG2 – Market Engagement (led by Decom North Sea)WG3 – EnvironmentWG4 – InfrastructureWG5 – Wells

An important area for attention for the team in Work Group 2 “Market Engagement” has been to try and improve the quality of available market intelligence, if possible toprovide the supply chain with greater detail and confidence, and in turn stimulateinnovation and investment. This specific initiative is considered important enough towarrant a dedicated sub-group. With the imaginative name of “WG2b”, this group isbeing led by Will Rowley, Group Analyst, Acteon Group.

An Introduction to Workgroup 2bWho are its members?Chaired by Mr Rowley, WG2b membership includes operators (BP & CNR), majorcontractors/suppliers (Acteon Group & Wood Group) plus Government (DECC ) and theindustry bodies (Decom North Sea and Oil & Gas UK).

The main constituents of WG2b are not engineers but industry, economic and marketanalysts with considerable knowledge and experience in forecasting, modelling andmarket development within the offshore industry. Additional analysts from withinoperators are being sought in order to be both representative and inclusive.

What are the objectives of WG2b?WG2b was formed after informal discussions between a number of industry analysts onthe challenges and uncertainties surrounding some of the forecasted views of themarket for decommissioning. WG2b’s principle objective is to work on improving theavailability and accuracy of market forecasts of future decommissioning activity.With regards to data availability, the initial focus is on the consolidation and crosschecking of data sources between various bodies to determine a consistent input intoprojections and push for increased public access of key data points by reducing oreliminating commercial conflicts or constraints. With regard to the accuracy offorecasts, work is ongoing on improving and calibrating the various timescales involvedwith pre-CoP activities and post CoP activities across various types of development,as well as qualifying and quantifying a range of drivers and inputs into modelling andassumptions.

Will there be any feedback from WG2b?WG2b will feedback its progress and activities on a regular basis to the other DSGworkgroups and related parties, through Decom North Sea.

With the decommissioning sector set to grow significantly in coming years, it was recognised that a wide range of topics,including policy, regulations, supply chain engagement, contracts, commercial, technology needs and environmentalmatters needed to be carefully considered and appropriately managed. Hence during 2009 a Decommissioning SteeringGroup (DSG) was established with public and private representation from the UK Department of Energy & Climate Change(DECC), Decom North Sea, Oil & Gas UK, ITF, operators and contractors.

Companies participating in the mission included: CapeIndustrial Services, Wood Group Engineering, Interact ActivityManagement and BMT Cordah.The visit coincided with the 11th Annual NPF North SeaDecommissioning Conference in Bergen, a major and well attendedevent organised by the Norwegian Petroleum Society (NPF).

DNS hosts successful Trade Mission

to Norway

After a busy first year for Decom NorthSea we are now celebrating thesuccess of our continual membershipdrive, which has resulted in over 130companies joining us – impressivelyovertaking our initial one year targetof 100!This level of membership puts us well onthe way to being representative of the

decommissioning industry and is testament to the market’srequirement for the industry body. The variety of companies,such as operators, major contractors, service specialists andtechnology developers, and partner organisations that havejoined DNS has proven that this has been the right time for theformation of the body. In the past 12 months DNS hasincreased awareness and provided evidence of theopportunities on offer due to decommissioning work rapidlycoming upon us and also beginning to be carried out.Recently we undertook in-depth consultation with our board,members, partner organisations and the general industry andthis has allowed us to identify priorities for action and set acourse of strategic direction for the years ahead.We are also looking forward this spring to meeting with manyof our members at OTC Houston and All-Energy in Aberdeen.Our attendance at these conferences will be ideal for learningfirst hand about the opportunities for cross sector andinternational learning and knowledge exchange, and fordeveloping relationships for future co-operation.

Director’s foreword

As well as attendance at the conference, the mission included avisit to offshore decommissioning specialists Scanmet and atour of its decommissioning site at Stord. The group also visitedAF Decom’s decommissioning facilities at Vats. The missionconcluded in Stavanger with a networking event andpresentations from some of the key operators in the NorwegianContinental Shelf followed by one to one sessions. Neil Henderson, Business Development Director, BMT CordahLtd, said: “Decom North Sea did an excellent job oforganising this, their first trade mission. Not only were we ableto benefit from presentations by a number of major Norwegianoperating companies, detailing their future plans, we were alsogiven the opportunity to speak directly with keydecommissioning decision makers from each of theseorganisations. The group of companies attending from the UKand other parts of Europe was well balanced and complementary,which was very advantageous for all involved. Following theevent, BMT Cordah is now in discussions with one of the otherparticipants with a view to future collaboration.” Jason Smith, Business Development Director at Cape, felt thetrip provided an excellent networking opportunity with thesupply chain. “The event allowed us to meet with a good variety of contactsfrom operators and contractors to heavy lift specialist, which washighly beneficial. It is interesting to see how the decommissioningmarket is slowly maturing and now, as more assets are enteringthis part of their lifecycle, it is re-enforcing the belief that there isa huge amount of work, not only in the UK, but also other sectorsin the industry for years to come,” he said.Stuart Wordsworth, General Manager at InterAct said:“Taking part in this trade mission gave us all a great opportunityto both see first hand some of the decommissioning facilitieson offer in Norway, and also to talk in detail with some of thekey operators face to face. The mission was planned andexecuted very well indeed by Decom North Sea to allow us tooptimise our time in Norway.”Decom North Sea recognises there are huge opportunities forits members in decommissioning projects not only in the UKCSbut right across the North Sea, in the Norwegian ContinentalShelf, the Dutch Continental Shelf and the Danish ContinentalShelf. The forum has been working alongside Europeanpartners with the aim of quantifying what the total expectedcost and programme of decommissioning will be across theNorth Sea. Decom North Sea Chief Executive Brian Nixon said: “We arereally pleased with the outcome of this first mission. It providedthe perfect opportunity to get the message out to key playersabout our members’ capabilities in these areas. The companieswho joined us benefited greatly from meeting face to face withprominent businesses in the decommissioning market.’’

With almost £30billion expected to be spent ondecommissioning activities between now and 2040,the sector is set to offer an array of employment prospectsfor both new management and engineering graduates andcurrent oil and gas employees.

As older oil and gas facilities in the North Sea reach the end oftheir productive lives, the specialist companies who have beeninvolved with offshore platforms, subsea facilities and wellswill be ideally placed to redeploy or re-train staff in the manyand varied aspects of offshore and onshore decommissioning.

In the next three years,expenditure is expectedto increase significantlyas older platforms andsubsea productionsystems are due to bedecommissioned. This is,in turn, providing primeopportunities forengineering andbusiness graduates, andover recent monthsDecom North Sea has

been pleased to assist many under and post graduate studentswith their dissertation projects and initial career advice.

Decom North Sea expects the decommissioning programmeto last until 2040, which would offer long term careerprospects for young industry entrants. Indeed in the nextdecade alone, it is forecast that perhaps 120 installations in thesouthern North Sea, 80 in the central and northern North Sea,and 65 subsea and pipeline installations could bedecommissioned. Over 900 wells will require to be pluggedand abandoned in the same period.

With such a major programme of activity in the North Sea,the prospects for those working in conceptual engineering, front-end engineering design, environmental impact assessment,

Thriving inDecommissioning

Market

At this early stage of the North Sea decommissioningprogramme, the industry still has a lot to learn – in somecases “we don’t know what we don’t know”. The experience that has been gained lies with quite a smallnumber of companies who have actually participated inone of the few projects completed to date.

One of the topics under review in the Decom North Seastrategy is skills, and there is a need to establish whether theindustry will need additional or different skills andcompetencies as the major programme of work unfolds. Inorder to establish an industry view on this matter, Decom NorthSea has facilitated the formation of a Skills Steering Groupunder the chairmanship of Graham Gall, MD of Falck Nutec.With assistance from Jamie McGregor of PSN, Colin Turnbull ofMintra, Gordon Caird of Petrofac Training and David Gordon ofTyco, the Skills Steering Group will provide strategic industryadvice to Decom North Sea on how best it should research,analyse and present the industry requirements in this regard.

When the research has been completed, hopefully during thecourse of this year, the information will be shared with both theEngineering Construction Industry Training Board (ECITB) andOPITO, the Oil & Gas Academy, to assist them in consideringwhat may be needed in the design of decommissioningtechnician training modules and accreditation standards etc.The Group meets for the first time in early April.

safety management, waste treatment, long term monitoring,project planning and management will also be prevalent.Those looking to move outwith the UK will also find thatdecommissioning skills will be in demand.

Decom North Sea Chief Executive Brian Nixon explained:“The UK oil and gas supply chain is active in some 100countries and decommissioning will become a significant newbusiness opportunity in international markets. In a few years,the extent of the industry in the UK will provide the supplychain with the best credentials for international operators.”

The growing recognition of the part decommissioning willplay in the UK economy was highlighted recently by a featurein the Daily Telegraph. Mr Nixon was interviewed in the pieceon how decommissioning will offer a platform for a longtermrewarding profession. The newspaper article concluded,‘In today’s uncertain economic environment, the prospectsfor those involved with decommissioning in the North Sealook rosy’.

Setting a Standard forSNS Platforms Heavy Lift RemovalDuring January 2011 Perenco UK safely executed the heavylift removal of the Welland gas production platform in thesouthern North Sea. The project was remarkable in that itwas completed without incident, in the middle of theNorth Sea winter, using an appropriately scaled lift barge.Furthermore it was within budget, complied withUKOG/DECC guidelines and met highest environmentalstandards in terms of disposal by securing the re-use of thetopsides and re-processing of the jacket structure.

Overdick GmbH undertook structural and lift engineering inclose partnership with Perenco UK, Scaldis-SMC and ProservOffshore. Scaldis’s Rambiz Crane Barge was selected on thebasis of appropriate size, capacity and flexibility.On completion of pre-engineering, Dismantling Safety Caseacceptance and DECC approval, opportunistic mobilisationtook place in January 2011.

In order to achieve an opportunistic execution during thewinter months, several innovative contingency solutionswere developed, tested, and in some cases, applied. Both liftsare now safely ashore with the topsides undergoingrefurbishment before re-use and the jacket steelwork beingre-processed.

The company commented ‘Perenco are delighted with thesuccess of the project. A key factor has been the co-operationbetween us as operator and the regulators and with our maincontractors. This enabled the regulatory requirements to bemanaged effectively within the engineering scope and design,and, during opportunistic execution enabled all parties to takeresponsibility and carry out their activities safely and efficiently.The completion of the heavy lift removal of Welland platformprovides a level of confidence in our cost projections for futuredecommissioning activities. Most importantly we have re-cycledalmost all of the material removed with over half of it destinedfor re-use which means energy use and subsequent emissionshave been substantially lower than previous industry projects.’

Proserv Offshore successfullycompletes cutting contract for Perenco

Proserv Offshore was contracted by Perenco to carry out allcutting operations to assist with the removal of the WellandPlatform, a 2000t installation located in 37msw in theSouthern UK Sector. The work scope included subsea andtopside cutting utilising a range of tools and ProservOffshore’s 15,000psi Jetcut system. Trials were carried out atProserv Offshore’s Kintore facility and a full site survey wasconducted to determine platform access and equipmentrequirements.

The cutting operations were carried out in two separatestages. The first consisted of the topside cuts followed by thesubsea cutting operations which completed the work scope.Angled cuts at 20 degrees were performed as an extra safetyprecaution in case of adverse weather conditions followingtopside severance. This also ensured no damage occurredinternally to the stabbing cones as the topside module was tobe reused again.

Proserv Offshore’s 15000psi Jetcut water abrasive cuttingtechnology was utilised to sever three 54” external topsidelegs to assist with the removal of the topside module. Anotherthree 54” internal cuts 2m below the mud line were alsoperformed for the removal of the jacket.

North Tyneside Decommissioning ProjectGets Underway With ArrivalOf North Sea Gas Platform

Joint project between Veolia Environmental Services (UK) Plcand Peterson SBS brings story of North Sea gas full circle.

A project to decommission offshore North Sea gas steelplatforms has begun at the former Swan Hunter shipyard onthe River Tyne, owned by North Tyneside Council. Thestructure, which is 17 storeys high, arrived on a barge from theShell UK Indefatigable gas field, 75 kilometres offshore in thesouthern North Sea. It is the first of eight barges scheduled toarrive at the shipyard over four months.

Veolia Environmental Services (UK) Plc will dismantle thesestructures with its offshore decommissioning partner, PetersonSBS, who will provide logistics support, marine managementand load-in services.

The project brings the Swan Hunter shipyard, which wasestablished in 1860 and ceased shipbuilding last decade, backinto service. However, Swan Hunter still continues to operatein the marine, design and engineering field.

It is planned to safely decommission 10,500 tonnes ofredundant gas platform parts from April to October this yearwith a target recycling rate of 98%. The work is set to directlycreate 35 jobs and contribute at least a million pounds to thelocal economy.

Veolia Environmental Services (UK) Plc will operate the facilityunder an Environment Agency permit with a bespoke healthand safety and environmental management system andcomprehensive environmental reporting.

Construction Work Begins on New NORMProcessing and Disposal Facility

Construction has started on a new £3million processingplant at the Stoneyhill site near Peterhead to recover andtreat Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM)from equipment used in North Sea oil and gas operations.

The new facility is being developed by Nuvia SITA NORM -a joint venture company drawing on the expertise of leadingwaste management company, SITA UK and radiationprotection specialists, Nuvia Limited.

Initial construction works includes the refurbishment of abuilding that will house the treatment process along with theinstallation of a containment system and ultra high pressurewater jetting (UHPWJ) pumps and systems.

NORM affected equipment delivered to site will be treated in afully contained area with UHPWJ to safely remove mineralscale. Once de-scaled, metals and pipework may be reused orrecycled and any scale removed will be de-watered andencapsulated in cement. The drummed waste will then beconsigned to landfill under authorisation at SITA’s adjoiningStoneyhill site.

Major works are scheduled for completion by the end of Julywith commissioning of the plant following soon after. Therecycling facility will bring extra employment to the region,with around 30 jobs during the construction and installationphase and an anticipated 13 positions when the facilitybecomes operational in the autumn.

Nuvia SITA NORM Director, Phil Holland said, “This newtreatment facility will provide the Oil & Gas industry with asimple and safe solution to NORM disposal. The plant atStoneyhill will be the first new plant in the Aberdeen areaproviding North Sea operators with a service compliant withthe guidelines governing the treatment and disposal of NORMwaste, allowing cleaned metals to be re-used or recycled andwaste mineral scales to be disposed of safely and securely.”

Cutting Underwater TechnologiesCompletes Major Decommissioning Project Cutting Underwater Technologies (CUT), a specialist providerof diamond wire cutting services to the decommissioning andabandonment industry, has announced the completion of amajor project for Heerema BV.

The contract award to assist with removal of the Norpipe 37/4ABooster Platform’s eight-legged steel jacket was made to CUTNorway AS and was managed through CUT’s Norwegian Officewhilst technical, operational, equipment and manpowersupport was provided by CUT Headquarters staff based inAberdeen. CUT developed new equipment and methodologiesin order to successfully complete the work which is part of thelarge-scale Ekofisk cessation project situated 180 miles south-west of Norway.

The 5,500 tonne platform, along with its sister Norpipe 36/22A,was installed in 1974, becoming operational the following year.The platforms acted as booster stations between the mainEkofisk platform and the onshore reception facilities at Teessidein the North of England. Both platforms remained active untiltheir final abandonment in 1983.

Two phases, one offshore and one carried out in the harbour atMerjarvik in Norway were completed during CUT’s mobilisation.All the offshore and inshore work was carried out from theHeerema owned and operated Heavy Lift Vessel, “SSCV Thialf”.

The topside modules had already been removed during anearlier phase of the workscope, prior to CUT completing eightseverance cuts using its patented Diamond Wire CuttingTechnology on the jacket legs and piles. These cuts allowed thejacket to be removed from the seabed in one lift before beingtransported inshore.

Offshore, the first two cuts were carried out at 26metres belowthe sea surface on the main risers’ attached to legs A1 and B1prior to both sections being recovered to deck. Thereafter afurther single cut was made to both risers to reduce their sizeand weight.

The 37/4A’s eight legged jacket, which stood in some 85metressea water depth was then prepared for removal. Trenchingoperations were carried out in the vicinity of the jacket toexpose the piles to a distance of some 2.7metres below thesurrounding seabed. CUT’s specialist 64inch DWCM (DiamondWire Cutting Machine) was then attached to the exposed jacketpiles and the cuts performed. The DWCM’s were to be poweredfrom the surface (utilising a CUT supplied HPU (Hydraulic PowerUnit) Control Panel, Multi-Core Umbilical and associated HoseReel), lowered into position using the vessels crane, and locatedat the target cut site with the aid of an WROV (Workclass RemoteOperated Vehicle).

The eight cuts were carried out successfully on the Primary (48”OD x 1.75” w/t) and Insert (36” OD x 1.5” w/t) Piles, many beinggrout filled, at an average time of around five and a half hourswith the last two cuts being carried out simultaneously.

Once severance was completed, the jacket was lifted by “SSCVThialf” and secured to the vessel with a specially-developedclamping system. It was then transported to shore where it wasplaced on the Heerema H627 barge being supported, on thebarge, by its four inner legs. The project plan now called for thejacket to be reduced in size by removing the top third of thestructure prior to removing the bottom section ashore for finalreduction and recycling.

The reduction cuts were all carriedout at a height of 62metres fromthe barge deck and CUT had todevelop a number of projectspecific modifications to completethe cuts as required by the client.Chief amongst these was therequirement to perform horizontalcuts such that the removed uppersection would ‘sit’ square on theground. As the CUT DWCM’s areself clamping the naturaltendency is for the machine, oncethe clamp is activated, to bring

itself into a 90º angle in relation to the target. However, as thejacket legs stood at some 7 – 8 degrees from the vertical anycuts using a standard configuration would create pressure pointproblems when the upper section was removed to land.

Thus, to overcome this effect, special saddles were designed andbuilt that corrected the angle of approach such that when theclamps were activated the DWCM sat at the correct orientation.Additional modifications were also made to allow the cutting ofthe two Launch Runner assemblies located on legs A2 and A3.

Furthermore, as the cuts were to take place “in air” a specialtwelve nozzle cooling system was designed and fitted to theDWCM to ensure adequate cooling was being supplied to thediamond wire.

Finally, a one-off, umbilical lifting saddle was designed andmanufactured which offered support to the umbilical as it wasbeing lifted into position.

All the cuts performed during this section involved severingthree layers of steel:

For 4 x Corner Legs and 2 x Inner LegsMain Jacket Leg – 54” x 0.5” (OD x w/t)Primary Pile – 48” x 1” (OD x w/t)Inner Pile – 36” x 0.5” (OD x w/t)

For 2 x Launch Runner LegsMain Jacket Leg – 54” x 1.0” (OD x w/t)Primary Pile – 48” x 1” (OD x w/t)Inner Pile – 36” x 0.5” (OD x w/t)

and, in the case of the Launch Runners the steel associated withthese structures (the wood having been removed by HMC).

The average cutting times for the two Launch Runners was eightand a half hours, whilst the remaining jacket legs averaged somesix hours forty minutes to complete.

Mark Chalmers, CUT Senior Project Engineer said: “We aredelighted to have completed this, the first of the eight-leggedplatform removals on time, within budget and, mostimportantly, without incident. This was accomplished in partbecause of the excellent working relationships developed withHeerema, especially in the pre-planning phase prior tomobilisation.

“I am convinced that our experiences on this workscope willallow us to develop savings over the remainder of this year’soperations.’’

The CUT Group is the sole global operator of the unique,patented, Diamond Wire Cutting System developed by parentcompany TS Tecnospamec of Genoa, Italy. The CUT Group has30 staff at its Aberdeen base and a total of 150 around the worldwith additional operational bases in Norway, Brazil, Singaporeand the United States offering local support to clients globally.

Scopus Engineering LimitedUtilising Laser Scanning in theDecommissioning ProcessLaser scanning is a system for the mass capture of existingas-built information on offshore or onshore installations.

To date it has been utilised mostly on Brown Field constructionprojects involving major upgrades to existing facilities.

The laser scan data is produced as a 3D image of the scannedarea and is designed to interface directly with all the maindesign platforms such as Autocad, Microstation, PDMS etc sothat new process can be designed and clash checked againstthe as-built 3D data.

Scopus Engineering have realised that because all the offshoreinstallations in the North Sea earmarked for removal are around30 years old, there are no accurate records of what the structureor processes look like today, making the “reverse engineering”very difficult.

These platforms were designed and built long before 3Ddesign models were introduced and there have been countlessmodifications to the structure and processes throughout theyears without any updates being carried out to the originalArrangement and Detail drawings.

Laser Scanning can be developed to be an integral part of theDecommissioning process of offshore assets by providing anaccurate (+/- 3mm) 3D representation of the complete topsidesfacilities.

This allows realistic planning by providing thedecommissioning teams with accurate definitive informationnecessary to plan the removal of every component of theTopsides.

Scopus Engineering have just been awarded the LaserScanning contract for the Brent Charlie decommissioningproject after the success of the recently completed Brent Alphaand Brent Bravo laser scans for Shell.

The company has also recently been awarded the laser scancontract for the CNR Murchison platform which should becompleted by end April 2011.

Challenging Contract CompletedSuccessfully by J Bryan (Victoria)In Mid July 2010 J Bryan (Victoria) responded to a requestfrom BP Remediation Management Division UK, through(Arcadis), about a proposal for the supply ofdecommissioning and remediation services at the MillerFacilities – PGRF Site at Scottish and Southern Electricity’sPeterhead Power Station, Boddam, Aberdeenshire,Scotland. The scope of work was to dismantle anddemolish the site to grade, with two areas to beprotected - the area where a 26” gas pipeline enters thesite, and the area where a 30” gas pipeline exits the site.

The original proposal for the project was to be an eight to tenweek period working normal weekday hours during Octoberthrough to December 2010. After further discussions this wasthen amended, as BP wanted to accommodate therequirements of Scottish and Southern Electricity for a fiveweek schedule based upon a seven day working week,12 hours a day. This method was eventually decided upon tobe the way forward.

There were a number of challenges within the project,which included allowing the Scottish and Southern PowerStation to run as normal without delays or hindrance byJ Bryan (Victoria) presence. J Bryan (Victoria) were alsoobliged to comply not only with BP’s safety requirements butalso Scottish and Southern Electricity’s own site safetyrequirements, which were all satisfied.

Despite one of the worst winters in 100 years, J Bryan (Victoria)completed the project within the five week period andreturned for one week after Christmas (when the roads hadcleared of snow in the North East of Scotland) to completethe remediation work required and to the satisfaction of BP.

This was the first Remediation Contract to be awarded by BPthrough its own UK based Remediation ManagementDivision. The contract was completed on time, on budgetand without any Health and Safety issues. The J Bryan(Victoria) team was commended for its work by Arcadis, BPand Scottish and Southern Electricity and it was deemed ahuge success.

KDC continues successon decommissioning contract

KDC have achieved success over more than two decadesin the decommissioning and demolition of assets inhazardous areas, operational sites and in close proximity tosensitive neighbours.For several years one of their main contracts has been adecommissioning and demolition framework contract at BP'sSullom Voe facilities, Shetland Isles.

KDC and BP work together in a fully integrated team on thishigh value contract and KDC has an established site basedresource to fulfil the contract.

During this contract, KDC have supplied a range of specialistequipment to cover the various activities they are tasked withsuch as mobile telescopic cranes, 360 degree long reachdemolition excavators, bulker wagons, transport, shears,pulverisers and loading shovels.

The work covers a complete range of tasks includingproduction of the management documentation, isolations (airgapping) within live process areas, de-planting of modules andequipment, demolition of redundant buildings and processfacilities and the processing and disposal of waste demolition,including metals that are transported off the island forrecycling.

This work takes place within an operational refinery. It isplanned and managed to minimise the potential hazard andsuit the operational needs of the site and to date the safetyrecord has been exemplary.

More generally KDC’s principal areas of business activity aredecommissioning, dismantling, demolition anddecontamination; asset appraisal and sales of plant andequipment; hazardous substance management (e.g. asbestosstripping and removal other chemotoxic, biological andradiological materials); waste management and landremediation.

Much of KDC’s work involves the segregation of different wastestreams to minimise disposal and to reuse or recycle wherepossible. KDC regularly recycle in excess of 97% of materialsfrom demolition projects. Key markets for the company are oil,gas & process, chemical, pharmaceutical and nuclear industriesand the general industrial sector.

KDC’s OG&P team is led by Director Will Simpson, who has 20years experience in demanding decommissioning projects for awide range of operators.

Babcock geared up for IHM marketplaceWith new environmental legislation soon to beimplemented by International Marine Organisation (IMO)member states, Babcock is already emerging as a majorplayer in the new international marketplace for 'greenpassport' compliance services.

The idea of these documents - now known as Inventory ofHazardous Materials (IHMs) - grew out of worldwide concernsover ship scrapping, and the need for stricter monitoring ofhazardous materials used in the construction and outfitting ofvessels.

Once legislation is enacted by IMO member countries -probably within five years- any ship greater than 500 grosstonnage will need an approved and verified IHM. This will listall hazardous materials in the ship's structure, systems andequipment and will be maintained throughout the life of thevessel, with renewal surveys at regular intervals.

The new system is overseen by classification societiesincluding Lloyd's Register (LR), which has approved Babcock’sMarine & Technology division and the laboratory at theirfacility in Devonport to carry out IHM surveying, sampling andreporting, and issue statements of compliance. After successfullyundertaking IHMs for Royal Navy vessels, Babcock is nowactively seeking contracts from the commercial sector.

Whilst IHMs are still voluntary, there are many reasons toacquire them sooner rather than later. As well as providingcertified green credentials, better hazard management, andimproved long-term liability planning, an IHM means a moreaccountable ship and a higher resale value.

Babcock is one of the few companies in the UK to be able tooffer truly comprehensive IHM services, using its unrivalledexperience and expertise in survey and sampling.

As the industry gears up to operate the new IMO regime,the company is already receiving a substantial volume ofenquiries from the commercial shipping sector and wasrecently awarded the IHM contract for a major new buildvessel.

John Lawrie Develops Redundant RiserRecycling ServiceAs plans for oil and gas decommissioning projects in theNorth Sea continue to build momentum, Scottish metalreprocessing, steel trading and environmental servicescompany the John Lawrie Group has been steadilydeveloping its capability to recycle redundant subseamaterials including flexible risers, flowlines and umbilicals.

The Aberdeen-based firm is the leading reprocessor andexporter of scrap metal in the north and north-east ofScotland, and its Aberdeen, Montrose and Evanton recyclingfacilities are now all capable of receiving the redundantmaterials for processing. Its expansion into this market comesas oil and gas operators face pressure to increase the amountof redundant material that they recycle.

Environmental director Ray Grant said: “Every business is beingencouraged to be more environmentally conscious andrecycle more of its waste. Oil and gas operators are also facingthese pressures, particularly when they approachdecommissioning and look at all the available options fordisposal of assets and equipment.

“The development of this service underlines John LawrieGroup’s commitment to maximising the recovery of wasteproducts in an environmentally acceptable and sustainablemanner. Many companies are striving to improve theirenvironmental credentials and recycling redundant assets andequipment is a sustainable process which can achieve thisobjective.”

The recycling process involves mechanically separating theriser’s various plastic and metallic components, which typicallyconsists of between six and eight layers. Once separated, therecovered metallic and non-metallic material is sorted into itsvarious component parts to maximise recycling.

The separated metal content is processed on-site to Europeansteel mill feedstock standard. This material is then shippedand exported as a ‘green waste’ directly to approved steel millsin Europe for recycling into new steel products. All therecovered plastic material is transferred to authorised recyclingcontractors for further processing before being made into newproducts.

Mr Grant added: “Every effort is made to recycle as muchmaterial from the risers as possible. The success variesdepending on the materials used to construct the riser, but theprocess has seen up to 100% of all material being recycled.”

Established in Aberdeen in the 1930’s as a scrap metalmerchant, the John Lawrie Group now offers a diverse range ofindustrial services and has developed an enviable reputationfor quality customer service. It is one of the country’s leadingprivately owned companies and has operations throughoutthe UK and in USA, Europe, the Middle East, and China,employing a 100 strong workforce.

Cost of North Sea Decommissioningcould exceed £29 BillionThe cumulative expenditure of North Seadecommissioning is expected to be £29 billion by 2040,however Valuta’s MD William Harrod, warns that unlesssteps are taken now, the true cost may be significantlyhigher and not just in monetary terms.

“Of course there are terrific technological and engineeringchallenges in withdrawing from the North Sea, but it is theleadership, planning and coordination of these activities that willdrive not just cost, but safety and an operator’s reputation too.”

Valuta’s Iain Maclean added: “It is important to be in at thebeginning of a process and that is why we have arrived atNorth Sea Decommissioning now – it is much easier and vastlymore economical if plans and organisational structure areproperly developed ahead of time.”

While decommissioning is not a new science, the oil and gasindustry know that the North Sea presents an extra dimensionto any project, making North Sea decommissioning apioneering activity. Add to this the limited specialist resourcesavailable both at sea and on land, and the European andInternational legislation the industry must comply with, and itis apparent why Valuta are an invaluable tool for their clients.

Valuta ensures major projects and programmes deliversustainable and significant benefits.

We look forward to being International Partners! Decommissioning offers multi-billionpound market for supply chainMore than 60 delegates at an EEEGR (East of England EnergyGroup) seminar, held in Great Yarmouth in March, heard thatwith only 7% of decommissioning so far completed,the industry was on the cusp of a massive programme.Supply chain companies in the East of England could hold thekey to the success of the multi-billion pound business ofdismantling and removing North Sea oil and gas platforms asthey cease production. It was discussed at the event that if the UK supply chain couldget in quickly and master the business, their skills could also beexported for decommissioning work across the world.Alistair Corbett, BP decom project manager, admitted that thecost to major companies like his would be enormous – andthey were looking to supply chain companies to find innovativeand cost-effective ways of achieving it.EEEGR chief executive John Best said they would play their partin encouraging the supply chain to take up the challenges andthey would help supply that 'reliable’ market intelligence whichwas so keenly sought.
