Hi oil and gas friends! How do you LIFT the entire topsides of the Brent Bravo platform in the North Sea -- all 25,000 tonnes of it?
This great feat of engineering was brilliantly achieved by Shell in 2019 as part of the platform's decommissioning process.
As you know, there are three stages in decommissioning.
Stage one is to isolate the reservoir. This is called plug and abandonment.
Stage two is getting everyone off the platform.
Finally, stage three is dismantling the platform.
Dismantling can be done on site, but Shell decided to remove the entire platform as one unit, transport it to shore, and dismantle and recycle it there.
But how could they LIFT such a huge and heavy structure in the middle of the North Sea? Even NASA were amazed at what Shell was trying to do!
Watch this great video (11m:47s) about a piece of engineering history!
It's fascinating!
And if you're a non-native English speaker, this is also good practice for you if you want to improve your listening skills!
Enjoy the video, and let me know in the comments if you've been involved in the decommissioning of any offshore rigs.
