Decommissioning & P&A of 8 offshore Wells


We executed a full Plug & Abandonment (P&A) and decommissioning campaign covering 8 offshore wells—comprising 3 oil producers, 3 gas producers, and 2 injection wells—located in shallow water depths of 48–61 m with well depths of 2,260–2,445 m
Scope of Work
Our integrated offshore solution included:
  • Installation of mechanical and cement barriers
  • Placement of intermediate and environmental cement plugs
  • Retrieval of horizontal/vertical trees and upper completion tubing
  • Wellhead cutting and recovery from seabed
  • Transport of all recovered equipment to shore
  • Full engineering, project management, offshore spread, vendors, cutting tools, and logistics support
Execution Phases
Phase I – Diving Survey
Performed a seabed and infrastructure survey to eliminate diving requirements during the P&A execution phase
Phase II – Plug & Abandonment
Plugging, severing, and disposal of Xmas trees and wellheads, utilizing BOP, wireline/E-line, cementing, cutting, positioning, and tree tooling services
Duration
6 months + extension, influenced by weather delays, vendor timing, unknown well integrity conditions, and leaking gas-lift mandrels that required additional diagnostics and interventions
Critical Project Considerations
  • Well integrity uncertainties
  • Seabed and soil conditions
  • Existing field infrastructure
  • Regulatory compliance
  • Environmental protection and marine impact mitigation
