Case studies
The Brent Alpha platform is located in the East Shetland area of the North Sea, 186km east of Lerwick and has been operational since 1976. A 2.7km subsea power cable was installed by Shell in 2002 to export power from the Brent Bravo platform to support Brent Alpha power requirements after its main generation plant was decommissioned. During the ongoing decommissioning of Brent Alpha, its electrical demand increased to support base load and the plug and abandonment (P&A) activities. This load increase required the upgrade of the existing 1.5MVA 6.6/0.6kV link transformer to a new unit at 2.5/3.5MVA capacity.
Contract type: EPC
Value: 500,000
We provided engineering support to lead and supervise the offshore commissioning of this new link transformer onboard the Brent Alpha platform. Our work included the presentation of planned works to the relevant platform authorities, witnessing the location and condition of commissioning equipment and tools, co-ordination and leadership of platform and specialist vendor resource during the commissioning activities, and the formal recording of results and findings.
The Brent Delta platform was located in the East Shetland area of the North Sea, 185km north-east of Shetland and was operational between 1977 and 2011. As the first asset scheduled for decommissioning and topside removal within the Brent field, the Delta platform required an extensive series of engineering modification and removal works.
Contract type: EPC
Value: 5,000,000
We provided technical support to Wood Group, leading their electrical engineering team through a series of critical decommissioning workscopes, which included: - final commissioning and close-out stage for 3no. 1.4MVA temporary diesel generators - in-leg isolation, pumping and clearance packages - re-boarding power modifications and preservation works
