Pipeline Bundle Decommissioning

(Champions: Spirit Energy, Fairfield Energy) – July 2018 

For the purposes of this opportunity, a pipeline bundle was defined as multi-service pipelines installed by floating tow, of various sizes, weights and lengths. When decommissioning oil and gas subsea facilities, licensees have an obligation to address the decommissioning of pipeline bundles lying on the seabed. Pipeline bundles combine various systems and services to support a subsea production facility within one steel carrier pipeline. Propositions covered total removal by various methods, and make safe to users of the sea and decommission pipeline in-situ.
