AF Offshore Decom

AF Offshore Decom is proud to sponsor this years Offshore Energies UK Offshore Decommissioning Conference. Our team from both Norway and Aberdeen will be attending and hope to see many of you there! #DecomConf24 #Decommissioning

This week, AF Offshore Decom was proud to attend, present, and sponsor the Ship Recycling Lab in Lisbon, where we joined forces with industry leaders and advocates dedicated to promoting sustainable and ethical ship recycling practices. In collaboration with organisations like The NGO Shipbreaking Platform, we are working to raise awareness and improve global standards for end-of-life ship recycling, ensuring a safer, more environmentally responsible future for ship decommissioning. Our participation reflects our commitment to fostering innovation, accountability, and traceability across the industry to address the critical challenges of ship recycling.   Further information can be found on the NGO Ship Breaking Platform: https://lnkd.in/eDdw3UdW

Happy to announce AF Offshore Decom as a Lab's sponsor. In the past two decades AF Offshore Decom has as main contractor and consortium partner safely prepared, removed, dismantled and recycled more than 400.000 tons of #oilandgas infrastructure from the #NorthSea. Interestingly, Johannes Thrane will be speaking about #FPSO #upcycling during our #tech session. Read more at https://lnkd.in/diTuEs_5.

We are delighted to share that we have successfully completed another step in our multi-platform decommissioning campaign. The recent jacket lift was carried out with exceptional precision, representing a key milestone in one of our offshore decommissioning initiatives. This achievement highlights the dedication and expertise of the wider team and we look forward to advancing the next part of the project with the same rigorous standards. #AFOffshoreDecom #AFOD #Decomissioning #Offshore

AF Offshore Decom completes engineering and preparation for removal of the bp Andrew drilling derrick and articulated arm. AF Offshore Decom mobilised a multi-discipline team to the bp Andrew installation in the central North Sea to prepare the drilling derrick for removal by Heerema Marine Contractors. The team included AF Offshore Decom, CAN Group rope access technicians, CUT UK diamond wire cutting experts, and Hydratight for bolting and machining. The scope of work involved removing all mechanical elements necessary to enable the safe deployment of rigging and lifting by Hereema Marine Contractors’ Sleipnir SSCV. A large volume of steelwork, redundant equipment, and stairways/walkways were removed prior to the installation of four main lift points on the derrick structure and additional rigging on the articulated services arm. There was a short timeline from contract award to offshore execution, with engineering completed between our Aberdeen and Oslo team. The derrick was then removed by HMC and transported to AF Environmental Base Vats where our team will now safely dismantle and recycle the structure. Over the last 10 years, AF Offshore Decom has performed the engineering, preparation for removal, dismantling and recycling for several drill derricks in the North Sea including those from the Brae, Brent and Dunlin Fields. Our expertise and commitment to excellence on this project will drive the success of another North Sea decommissioning project.   Clearing up the past. Building for the future. #AFOffshoreDecom #Decommissioning #Decom #NorthSea #Offshore #Recycling

Completion of Topside Preparation Ready for Removal Campaign. We are pleased to announce the ahead-of-schedule and safe completion of the final preparation campaign for our multiyear, 11-platform decommissioning project in the Southern North Sea. The comprehensive offshore preparation campaigns included: - Topside Survey, NDT Survey and Topside Preparation Campaign - Removal of Pipes and Risers - Removal of Structural Items between Topside & Jacket - Sling Path Clearance - Marking and Cutting Legs between Jacket & Topside - Installation of DP Reflectors (for removal) - General PDO Sweeps - Removal of Shutdown Actuator  - Preparation for Removal of Shutdown Valve This meticulous work was conducted from both the Clients P&A Drill Rig and Jack-Up vessels, demonstrating our commitment to efficiency and safety. As we look ahead, we plan to remove the remaining 5 installations within 2025, where we will work closely with the Client, Heavy lift vessel owners and our chosen UK yard for final recycling and disposal. Thank you to our dedicated team and partners for their support and commitment on this project. #AFOffshoreDecom #Offshore #Decommissioning #Decom #OffshorePreparation

Another day, another delivery.... Some great footage of structures being delivered to Vats on a beautiful day! #AFOffshoreDecom #AFOD #Vats #Decommissioning #Decom

AF Offshore Decom are pleased to share some fantastic pictures of the Heerema Marine Contractors Semi-Submersible Crane Vessel (SSCV), Sleipnir, delivering Ithaca Energy's Anglia platform at AF Environmental Base Vats last week. Our expert team at Vats will now proceed with the careful dismantling of the platform. Our primary objective is to safely dismantle and recycle as much of the structure as possible, adhering to our commitment to environmental stewardship. #AFOffshoreDecom #AFOD #Vats #decommissioning #SustainableDecommissioning #OffshoreRecycling #EnvironmentalStewardship #HMC #Sleipnir #IthacaAngliaPlatform
