DeepOcean Subsea Decommissioning
CUTTING
Description
Cutting by use of ROV is a safe and cost effective solution for recovery of subsea objects. Typical items may be anchor chains, steel risers and piles, umbilicals, and support structures.
Scope of Work
Due to a magnitude of different objects, locations and operability, a number of diverless subsea cutting options may be chosen from:
- ROV grinder
- ROV wire cutters
- Circular and guillotine saws
- Diamond wire saw
- Hydraulic shearer
- External and internal high pressure grit cutting devices
These tools require mechanical and/or hydraulic interfacing with an ROV. They may be deployed on the ROV or picked up separately on the seafloor.
HSE considerations: Oil and chemical spill control must be taken care of when cutting on old pipelines and umbilicals, etc.
DeepOcean Services
DeepOcean provide project management, operational planning, engineering, mobilization / demobilization, ROV vessel, offshore crew and have the overall responsibility of this operation.
