Challenge
Tight Schedule and Complex Demands.
An optimistic schedule and late decision to re-route the oil export route during a major North Sea shutdown campaign resulted in condensed lead times for proposal reviews, contract awards and ensuring workforce availability.
SOLUTION
Safe, On-Time Shutdown Success.
PBS harnessed its multi-skilled workforce and ability to scale to drive this shutdown project forward. Preparatory planning was undertaken onshore in the PBS SMART room to optimise bed space for the delivery of works , including the operating, repair and abandonment (ORA) and decommissioning, late life and restoration (DLR) activities.
+5 years Asset life extension
Zero injuries or near misses
Zero hydrocarbon releases
Critical Scopes Completed
ORAs & DLRs Removed
RESULTS & IMPACTS
Delivering Multi-Million Pound Savings.
This 2023 shutdown was one of the most challenging to be undertaken in the North Sea for several years. Despite these obstacles, we successfully completed this campaign within a reasonably time frame with no injuries, near misses or hydrocarbon releases. All critical path scopes were completed, as was the alternative oil export route. We extended the life of this asset by a minimum of five years.
